Korea Ocean Research Stations
Research Activities
- Long-term Monitoring of Marine Environment Change (acidity level, water temperature, sea level rise, etc.)
- Oceanic mixed layer, oceanic internal wave, Paleotempestology, expansion of low salinity of the Yangtze River
- Marine Primary Productivity
Value for Marine Science
- Understanding and responsive measures to circulation and flow of East China Sea (Recent environmental changes due to the Three Gorges Dam and South-North Water Transfer Project in the Yellow Sea)
- Optimal location to conduct research on global climate change, typhoons, and atmospheric environment
- Central Location for maritime traffic – over ten-thousand vessels pass-through : secured safe route
- Optimal fishing ground for East China Sea
Fishing ground formation Increased importance of sea forecast
