Climate change is a global phenomenon that significantly impacts the ocean environment around the Korean Peninsula. These changes in climate can lead to rising sea temperatures, thereby significantly affecting marine life and ecosystems in the region. In this study, four statistical approaches were employed to analyze ocean characteristics around the Korean Peninsula: layer classification, imputation for replacing missing values, evaluation using statistical tests, and trend analysis. The trend model we used was a deep learning-based seasonal-trend decomposition using Loess, a piecewise regression module with change points in 2000 and 2009, and Fourier transform to calculate the seasonality of one year. In addition, the water temperature was considered to have a Gaussian distribution so that anomalous water temperatures could be detected through confidence intervals. The ocean was first classified into three layers (surface layer, middle layer, and bottom layer) to characterize the sea area around Korea, after which multiple imputation methods were employed to replace missing values for each layer. The imputation method exhibiting the best performance was then selected by comparing the replaced missing values with high-quality data. Additionally, we compared the slope of the water temperature change around the Korean Peninsula based on two temporal inflection points (2000 and 2009). Our findings demonstrated that the long-term change in water temperature aligns with previous studies. However, the slope of the water temperature change has tended to accelerate since 2009.
