Abstract. In this article, we describe the seasonal variation of air-sea interface
fluxes of heat, momentum and moisture over the East Asian Marginal Seas
(EAMS) surrounding the Korean Peninsula. Surface layer meteorological
observations for a period of about six years obtained from five oceanic
buoys deployed in the Yellow Sea, Korean Strait and East (Japan) Sea form
the database for this study. With the available database, monthly mean of
sensible heat flux, latent heat flux and momentum flux obtained from the
present analysis is compared with the existing climatological data over the
EAMS.
