In coastal region, tidal harmonic constants of semi-diurnal tides and nonlinear tides were collected. The observed tide data of KHOA were analyzed by a tide harmonic analysis method. In the southwestern coasts and Han river estuary, nonlinear tides are clearly generated. The generation of tide non-linearity and tide asymmetry is closely related with tide form factor in Korean coastal zone. Tide non-linearity and asymmetry in Mokpo harbour have increased by a series of coastal development projects. The increase has caused rise of high water level and drop of low water level, and increase of tidal range. In Kunsan Outport, tidal range has been declined due to inter-annual change of nonlinear tides after completion of Samangeum sea-dyke.

Due to both global warming and constructions of seadike/seawalls, continuously or abruptly rising tendencies of extreme high water levels have been detected at Kunsan and Mokpo harbors. This paper deals firstly with the separation of each effect, namely global warming effect and construction effect, on increases of water level quantitatively by a linear regression method. And then, it can be explained why and how the extreme high water levels had been risen just after constructions at both harbors. A numerical simulation of $M_2$ tidal constituent at Mokpo coastal zone shows that the tidal amplification by constructions is mainly due to the extinguishment of TCE at Mokpogu. The tidal flat effect makes the amplification more deepen at spring tide or extreme high tide, which results in the increase of inundation risk at Mokpo harbor. A frequency analysis method is applied, which is shown to be effective at such a site of having non-homogeneous tidal data due to constructions as Mokpo harbor.

영산강하구언과 영암 및 금호방조제 건설에 의해 목포해역에서는 조석확폭현상이 발생하여 만조위가 상승함에 따라 저지대에 침수피해를 야기시킨 바 있다. 이는 목포구의 'tidal choking effect' 기능이 상실됨에 기인한다는 결론을 선행인구(강주환, 1996)에서 얻은 바 있다. 본 인구에서는 선행연구에 비해 전체 영역이 확대되었으며 격자크기가 작아졌을 뿐 아니라 관심영역에는 세부역을 도입하여 더욱 세밀한 격자체계를 구성하였다. 이에 따라 조간대 처리가 한층 정밀해졌으며, 천해조 경계조건 부여와 함계 낙조우세를 실제에 가깝게 재현시킬 수 있게 되었다. 또한 방조제 건설후 낙조우세가 심화되는 자정을 모의할 수 있게 됨에 따라 소류사 이동양상의 변화된 패턴 역시 파악할 수 있었으며, 만조위 상승에 따른 침식유발 효과와 더불어 인근 해역의 침식 원인을 부분적으로 규명할 수 있었다.

Tidal asymmetry would occur owing to shallow water tides at the Western Coast of macro tidal area. Especially, as ebb dominance of Mokpo coastal zone is known as the most prominent in Korea, it had been studied by domestic researchers. The cause of ebb dominance in Mokpo area is considered due to extensive inter-tidal zone in Muan Bay, and this has been studied based on amplification ratio, relative phase and skewness of tide/tidal flow curves in order to analyze qualitative tidal asymmetry. Furthermore, it was possible to figure out tidal characteristics with the difference of tidal amplitude and phase with Mokpo Harbor by observing the tide for 15 days in Muan Bay, which showed 40 minutes shorter ebbing time than at Mokpo Harbor. In addition, tidal flow prediction data in Mokpo North Harbor and Mokpo-Gu were analyzed. Meanwhile, the basis regarding qualitative interpretation of bed sediment and suspended sediment was provided by examining the qualitative changes in tidal asymmetry for spring-neap tidal cycle through the PCA/SWA indices. In addition, by examining long-term changes of ebb dominance in Mokpo Port, tidal characteristics of the past, present and future in this area, which is related to tidal asymmetry, is also provided.

목포해역에는 1981년과 1991년 및 1994년에 영산강하구언과 영암방조제 및 금호방조제가 각각 완공된 바 있으며, 이들 하구언과 방조제의 위치를 전반적인 목포해역의 형상과 수심도와 함께 Fig. 1에 도시하였다. Fig. 1에서 화원반도와 압해도 사이의 2개 섬으로 분리된 3개 수로를 남쪽부터 순차적으로 목포구, 중구, 북구라 하는데, 목포구의 단면이 월등히 커서 내측 수역과의 해수교환은 주로 목포구를 통해 이루어지며, 목포해역에서 목포구의 특별한 기능은 본문에서 여러 번 기술되고 있다. (중략)

Harmonic analysis of tide data observed on the western coasts has been conducted. The changing trends of harmonic constants were reviewed. Overall, amplitudes of semidiurnal tide are not changed and present phases are faster than in the past. In Mokpo located in a semi-enclosed bay, the amplitudes have been greatly increased and the phases have become earlier due to construction of sea-dike and seawalls. Harmonic constants of diurnal tide have not been changed except Mokpo. In Mokpo the phases of diurnal tide have been earlier. Tidal ranges in spring tide and neap tide have not been significantly changed except Mokpo. In Mokpo tidal ranges have been increased and tidal flats widened. Approximate higher high water has been overall rising. Therefore, Korean western coasts can be easily inundated than before.

In this study, the bottom tracking observation in the tidal entrance within Mokpo coast is performed using ADCP in order to estimate net flux of water mass and tidal prism. First of all, observed rawdata was conducted coordinate rotation considering rotation of the cross-section in order to derive the predominant velocity component. And observed rawdata is converted into Sigma coordinate with normalization and blank zone data near the water surface and bottom is interpolated using von-Karman equation. Net flux of water mass is calculated quantitively from the interpolated data, calculated results show that these represent well characteristic of ebb superiority at Mokpo coast as well as change of net flux of water mass with tide. Also, by complementing the definition of tidal prism proposed in past studies, the definition of tidal prism including tidal condition was re-established. Based on the new definition, tidal prism at a tidal entrance using bottom tracking data with ADCP is estimated quantitively for the first time domestically. The results are compared with those for results of previous study, calculated results were in good agreement with previous studies.

In the southeast coastal zone of Yellow Sea, the tide characteristics showing ebb-dominant tide and tidal flow were confirmed by analysis of observed tide and tidal currents. Physical factors generating asymmetric tide were reviewed. Influence of bottom shear stress, tidal flat, and nonlinear terms in shallow water equations was investigated by two-dimensional tide modeling. The model results gave good agreements with observed tides, but the amplitude of simulated $M_4$ tide was less than that of observed tide. The tidal flats existing in the study area widely have great effect on the generation of nonlinear tide. The M4 tide is mainly generated near the tidal flats. The deletion of tidal flats prevents the production of the M4 tide. We can conclude that the wide tidal flats is a primary cause of tide asymmetry in the study area.

Tidal changes in Mokpo harbor and its adjacent coastal waters caused by the coastal development including the construction of the Youngsan, Youngam, and Gumho Estuary Barrages had been predicted previously. Since then, the construction work for these estuary barrages had been completed and it was available to get water level variations from the continuous measurement at the Mokpo tidal station. This study deals with the analysis of water level variation from the observed data by the harmonic analysis and mathematical treatment. Some comparisons between the observed water level changes and the predicted by the numerical model are made, which was not supported before. The result shows that the trend of the water level changes are following well the previously predicted variations.

Mokpo coastal zone suffers from increase of tidal amplitude by the reclamation projects of Youngsan River Scadike, Youngam and Keumho Seawalls, resulting inundation oflower lands. Tidal records at Mokpo harbor show jumps just after each construction not only in the mcan high water level but also in extreme one. Thus the design water levels must be newly estimated by a frequency analysis with the data of period after the last construction. But this period is at most 6 years yet, which restrains the normal frequency analysis. In this paper, new approach of converting the past data to the present one by a numerical model is proposed. Converted 32 years and observed 6 years data enables normal frequency analysis.
