The abnormal low water temperature phenomenon of the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water in summer, 1981 is studied on the basis of the oceanographical data collected by the National Fisheries University of Pusan in July, 1981 and Fisheries Research and Development Agency of Korea from 1960 to 1981 and meteorological data within the same 22 years. In winter, 1980 the northwesterly monsoon was vary predominant and the air temperature was lower than that of mean year by 1∼8$^{\circ}C$ and also the surface temperature was lower 1∼3$^{\circ}C$. And then the temperature of the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water in summer, 1981 became lower 2∼3$^{\circ}C$ than that of mean year and the influence of this cold water was extended to about 50 miles off the coast of Cheju Island. Comparing with mean year, the water temperature at 30m depth in February, 1981 was lower by 1∼2$^{\circ}C$ in entire regions except near sea of Sohuksando and at 50m depth in August, 1981, it was lower by about 3.5$^{\circ}C$. Particularly, the offshore of Hongdo shower value of 5$^{\circ}C$ than that of mean year. It was found that the abnormal low water temperature phenomenon of Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water in summer, 1981 resulted from the sea surface cooling by the predominant northwestly monsoon and abnormally low air temperature in winter, 1980.

최근 몇 년간 속초해역에서 발생한 이상고파의 특성을 현장관측 자료를 분석하고 수치모형실험 결과와 비교하여 검토하였다. 2004년 이후의 현장 관측을 통해 최소한 4회 이상 파고 5.0 m를 초과하는 이상고파가 발생하였다. 특히 2006년 10월 23일 11시에는 유의파고 9.69 m에 이르는 매우 큰 파가 관측되었다. 한편 천해역 파랑추산모형 SWAN을 사용하여 속초해역의 50년 및 100년빈도 심해설계파로부터 천해설계파를 산정하여 이상고파 관측 결과와 비교하였다. 수치모형실험에 의한 50년빈도 천해설계파의 최대치는 파향이 ESE 방향일 때 4.9 m에 지나지 않아서 관측된 이상고파의 파고에 비해 현저하게 작았다. 따라서 통상적으로 이루어지고 있는 수치모형을 이용한 천해설계파 산정만으로는 최근 몇 년간 수 차례 관측된 동해안에서의 이상고파를 적절하게 모의할 수 없으며 이에 대한 개선방안이 마련되어야 할 필요성이 있다.

A Study on the choice of proper region for moving cage culture facilities were carried out in the South Sea of Korea. Optimum temperatures of habitats for cage culture fishes, Sebastes schlegeli, Paralichthys olivaceus, Seriola quinqueradiata, Lateolabrax japonicus, Pagrus major, Takifugu vermicularis, and Mugil cephalus were 18~26$^{\circ}C$, 10~$25^{\circ}C$, 15~29$^{\circ}C$, 15~29$^{\circ}C$, 15~3$0^{\circ}C$, 15~$25^{\circ}C$, and 19~27$^{\circ}C$, respectively. In winter, wintering regions for continuous growth of fishes were proper around Komundo, Sorido, Soimal, Gadukdo and Chejudo for Paralichthys olivaceus and Lateolabrax japonicus, while Seoguipo and Udo for Seriola quinqueradiata, Pagrus major and Takifugu vermicularis. Sanji was not proper for wintering region because variation of water temperature is large by effect of strong northwestern wind. Wintering regions of Sebastes schlegeli and Mugil cephalus were not in the south of Korea. In summer, proper regions for fishes to avoid from damage by red tide were Komundo and around Chejudo. No red tide has occurred in these regions for 6 years. Mokpo and Yoja Bay were not proper for moving region because the former had strong tides and the latter had only one exit out of the bay which made it impossible to move cages in other route when dangerous red tides burst into.

This study analyzes the results of thunderstorm data observed in the mid-western part of Japan during the winter of 1996-1997. There were 35 instances of thunderstorms with 4,426 instances of lightning detected during the observation period. This study estimates the frequency of lightning occurrence through classification of detected lightning into two types, and analyzes the relationship between lightning types and synoptic pattern. According to the analyzed results, cloud-to-cloud discharge and positive polarity occupied 78% and 42.3% of total discharge, respectively. It is rare for lightning to occur in the winter season, usually occuring during the night (midnight to 5 a.m.). Lightning frequently occurs when there is a prevailing synoptic wind from the norhwest. According to the analyzed results of multiplicity and multi-point lightning, the mean values of multiplicity and multi-point lightning are 1.4 and 1.2, respectively.

The Hamo and Hyeopjae beaches in the western part of Jeju Island were studied in terms of seasonal variations of surface sediment and beach profile. Seasonal drift direction of the beach sands also was investigated. The Hamo beach of $7.3^{\circ}-10.8^{\circ}$ steep is composed of medium sand containing volcanic clasts and shell fragments. The Hyeopjae beach of $2.8^{\circ}-6.5^{\circ}$ steep is composed of coarse shelly sand. Hamo beach deformation is probably caused by the jetties constructed in the western part of the beach. In the Hyeopjae beach, surface sands were drifted into the dune side by the northwestern stormy wind during winter season.

동중국해 북부에서 쿠로시오의 경계역으로 확장된 중국대륙 연안수가 주변의 북상 난류역에 의해 포획된 후 고립되는 현상이 1999년 및 2003년 NOAA 위성영상에 포착되었다. 1999년의 경우 cold core eddy는 약 2개월간 존재(5월초～6월 하순)하였고, cold core의 중심 수온은 15～20℃로 주변해역의 17～23℃보다 2～3℃ 낮게 나타났다. 1999년 5월 7일 획득된 SeaWiFS 위성자료로부터 추정된 클로로필 α 분포는 1999년 5월 6일부터 획득된 NOAA 위성수온 영상에 나타난 cold core eddy의 주변 가장자리 해역에서 비교적 높게 나타났다. 2003년 경우 2월 중순에 cold core의 수온은 9～10℃c였으며 직경 150km 정도였다. cold core의 수평규모는 50m 등수심 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 이어도를 중심으로 동계 및 춘계에 나타나는 cold core eddy의 형성 메카니즘은 중국대륙 연안수와 쿠로시오 난류가 만나는 경계역에서의 힘의 균형과 계절풍 조건, 해저 지형 분포와 밀접한 관계성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The phytoplankton ecology of estuarine waters was investigated in the Kyeonggi Bay from May 1981 to September 1982 on monthly basis. In this study area, a total of 228 phytoplankton species was identified. Among these taxa, the most dominant species are diatoms in this area. Tychopelagic plankton occupies 40.4% of total species. The percentage of tychopelagic plankton density ranged from 10.2% in September to 92.7% in March of monthly standing crops. From late autumn to early spring, the percentage values are more than 72%. They play an important role from late autumn to early spring in this estuarine plandton community. These tychopelagic planktons are induced from benthic diatoms. Because the bottom shear stresses generated by the tides and winds are stronger than the adhesive and tractive force of benthic diatoms, most of benthic diatoms must be resuspended into tychopelagic suspensions during autumn and winter. Paralia sulcata is the most important tychopelagic plankton as an indicator species of water mixing in the eastern coastal area of Yellow Sea. This species seems to have even broader tolerance to the environmental stress than Skeletonema costalum, and tends to fill the gaps in winter, when the phytoplandton is relatively unsuccessful. Skeletonema costatum and Chaetoceros debilis are dominant in other seasons. Typical blooms of phytoplankton occur in spring and early autumn, The first bloom is started by Skeletonema costatum in early May, second peak is formed by various diatom population in September.

The Iho and Hamdeok beaches, the major coastal beaches in Jeju Island, have been studied through size analysis and using an experimental extension pole and sediment trap in beach profile, in order to understand their textural characteristics, migration patterns, and seasonal change in beach geometry. The Iho beach is composed of coarse and medium sands, 590 m in total length. The foreshore slope is 12.3$^{\circ}$ in summer and 10.8$^{\circ}$ in winter, which shows more steeper in summer. The Hamdeok beach consisting mostly of shell fragments is 950 m long, $5.7{\sim}7.4^{\circ}$ steep and 97.4${\sim}$114.5 m wide, respectively. The suspended load drift concentrations in the studied beaches showed 4.5 mg/l during the period of summer and 33.2 mg/l in winter, and those of fine-grained sediments are derived mostly from the marine of northeastward direction. The typical beach transformation of the Iho beach is resulting from the construction of jetties in the west side that built up the sand inside the jetties, whereas the erosion is occurring on the east side of beach. The center and berm sides of the sand in the Hamdeok beach drift into the dune side during the period of the stormy winter season.

The mechanism of cold core eddy formation was investigated using boundary conditions between the East China coastal cold water and the Kuroshio Warm Current, wind data related to the monsoon which was measured by QuikSCAT, and the bottom topography of the East China Sea. When winds blow from the southeast at an intensity comparable to that in the winter period in 1999 and 2003, the warm Kuroshio and Tsushima Current became stronger, and temperatures were considerably higher than those of the extended cold water of the coast of the East China. At that time, the cold water was captured by warm water from the Kuroshio and the Tsushima Current. This facilitated the formation of mesoscale cold core eddies with diameter of 150km in the East China Sea in May, 1999 and February, 2003. The cold core eddy which was detected by NOAA, SeaWiFS and QuikSCAT satellites. The East China Sea is considered to be important not only as a good fishing ground but also nursery and spawning area for many kinds of fishes. Therefore, it would be worth studying spatio-temporal variations of the cold core eddy in the environmental conditions of the northwestern East China Sea using systematic remote sensing techniques.
