STATISTICAL ANALYSES WITH METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS, AND APPLICATIONS OF RS AND GIS TECHNIQUES FOR RED TIDE FORMATION IN THE KOREAN COASTAL WATERS

Abstract

It was studied on the choice of potential area for red tide occurrence from oceanographic factors. Oceanographic factors of favorable marine environmental conditions for the red tide formation included warm water temperature, low salinity, high suspended solid, low phosphorus, low nitrogen. It was founded the potential areas for red tide occurrence in August 2000 by GIS conception: Yeosu~Dolsan coast, Gamak bay, Namhae coast, Marado coast, Goheung coast, Deukryang bay, respectively
