SEA LEVEL VARIATIONS AND SEA SURFACE CIRCULATIONS IN THE KOREAN SEAS BY SATELLITE ALTIMETER DATA

Sea level variations and sea surface circulations in the Korean seas were observed by Topex/Poseidon altimeter data from 1993 through 1997. In sea level variations, the West and South Sea showed relatively high variations with comparison to the East Sea. Then, the northern and southern area in the W...
