As the demand for reducing carbon emissions increases, efforts to reduce the usage of fossil fuels and research on renewable energy are also increasing. Among the various renewable energy harvesting techniques, the floating offshore wind turbine has several advantages. Compared to other technologies, it has fewer installation limitations due to interference with human activity. Additionally, a large wind turbine farm can be constructed in the open ocean. Therefore, it is important to conduct motion analysis of floating offshore wind turbines in waves during the initial stage of conceptual design. In this study, a frequency motion analysis was conducted on a semi-submersible type floating offshore wind turbine. The analysis focused on the effects of varying trim on the motion characteristics. Specifically, motion response analysis was performed on heave, roll, and pitch. Natural period analysis confirmed that changing the trim angle did not significantly affect the heave and pitch motions, but it did have a regular impact on the roll motion.

In order to study the relationship between water quality and phytoplankton standing crops, the authors investigated the physicochemical factors, phytoplankton standing crops and chlorophyll-a at two stations in the Daechung Reservoir during the period from May to November 1998. Nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonia and phosphate) have gradually increased more than those of the previous reports. Concentrations of the total nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorophyll -a and transparency exceeded the standard value of eutrophication. It could be assumed that the eutrophication of the Daechung reservoir was caused by various pollutants. Chlorophyll-a concentration was under the influence of phytoplankton standing crops, but very tiny cell-sized blue-green algae were less important in regards to the chlorophyll-a. Except at station 1 from July to August, phytoplankton standing crops bloomed during the time of the survey. Spring phytoplankton blooms caused by nitrate and phosphate in the surface layer. High concentrations of the suspended solids in July and August were caused by an inflow of them due to heavy rains. Density of heterotrophic bacteria was high in August owing to the high water temperatures and the organic nutrients which were from the nearby reservoir.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the settling and erosional properties for cohesive sediments in Shihwa lake. Settling tests are conducted by multi-depth method using a specially designed 1.8 m tall settling column, and erosion tests are conducted with annular flume under the uniform bed condition. As result of settling tests, it is confirmed that the settling velocity of the cohesive sediments has the range of $0.002 for suspended sediments concentration of 0.1$0.19{\sim}0.55N/m^{2}$ for bed shear stress of $1.14{\sim}1.32g/cm^{3}$, and the erosion rate coefficient decreases with logarithmic function in a range of $18.4{\sim}3.9mg/cm^{2}{\cdot}hr$ with increase of bed shear stress.

하천과 해양에서 발생한 수질오염은 특성상 유속의 흐름에 따라 광범위하며 급속도로 퍼져나가기 때문에 이를 효율적으로 유지, 관리하기 위해서는 오염인자들에 대한 모니터링이 수행되어야 한다. 원격탐사 기술을 이용한 하천의 수질측정은 대규모지역으로 분포해있는 수질농도의 변화양상을 시 공간적으로 모니터링 하는 것이 가능하게 할 뿐 아니라, 사람이 접근하기 어려운 지역에는 직접취수를 하지 않음으로써 기존의 수질측정방법들에 비해 편의성을 높여 시간적, 경제적 측면에서 효율적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최근 수질오염이 심화되고 있는 낙동강유역을 대상으로 인공위성 이미지영상을 이용하여 수질인자들의 농도측정을 수행하였다. 연구를 위해 사용된 인공위성은 NASA와 USGS가 공동으로 운용중인 Landsat 8 인공위성이다. Landsat 8의 11개 band 중 band2(Blue), band3(Green), band4(Red), band5(Near Infrared)를 사용하여 실제로 측정된 지점자료와 인공위성자료간의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 사용된 인공위성자료는 지점자료 날짜를 포함하는 총 4개의 연구날짜(2013/10/27, 2013/11/12, 2014/04/14, 2014/05/16)에 해당하는 위성이미지영상이다. Pearson상관계수를 통한 밴드와 수질인자간의 상관 결과, 본 연구지역에서는 $0.85-0.88{\mu}m$(band5)의 파장영역에서 클로로필-a와 부유물질이 가장 민감하게 반응함을 알 수 있었다. 두 수질인자들은 band2, band3, band4에서도 비교적 높은 상관성을 보였으며, 이를 근거로 band combination, band ratio를 통해 클로로필-a와 부유물질의 회귀모델식을 유도하였다. 각각의 회귀모델식은 실제 측정된 데이터들과 비교 검증을 통해 4개의 연구기간 중 2013년 10월 27일, 2014년 5월 16일에 대해서 클로로필-a와 부유물질의 공간적인 분포양상을 시각적으로 도시화하였다.

부유식 라이다는 해상풍력단지 조성시 필수적으로 수행하고 있는 풍황관측 업무에 새로운 패러다임을 제공하고 있는 시스템으로, 전통적으로 풍황관측을 수행하고 있던 해상기상관측탑을 대체하여 사업 초기의 대규모 공사를 획기적으로 축소하여 시간과 비용을 절약하고, 환경적 영향을 최소화 하며, 지역사회의 반발 요소까지 줄일 수 있어 해당 업계의 표준으로 자리잡고 있는 중이다. 다만 부표식의 동요에 따른 외란적 요소가 관측자료의 신뢰성에 영향을 미치는 만큼 안정적인 플랫폼의 설계 및 검증이 매우 중요한 상황이며, 국내에서는 해당기술에 대한 늦은 진입으로 인해 다수의 외산장비 제조사들이 국내시장까지 선점하고 있는 상황이다. 한국의 서해안은 천해 환경으로 조석차가 매우 커 지역에 따라 강한 조류가 반복적으로 나타나며, 계절별로 상이한 강한 에너지의 파랑이 형성되는 등 플랫폼에 안정도에 많은 영향을 미치는 바다 환경을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 복잡한 환경적 특성을 갖고 있는 우리나라의 해역에 라이다 운영에 적합한 부표식에 대한 연구를 수행하며, 우선적으로 적용하였던 선박형 부표식의 최적화 설계 및 검증 사례를 소개하고, 향후 다양한 플랫폼 개발에 토대가 되는 중요 개념을 도출하고자 한다.

Anchored measurements (12.5 hr) of suspended sediment concentration and other hydrodynamic parameters were carried out at two stations located at the entrance to Hampyung Bay in summer (August 1999). Tidal variations in water temperature and salinity were in the range of 26.0-27.9$^{\circ}C$ and 30.9-31.5, respectively, indicating exchange offshore and offshore water mass. Active tidal mixing processes at the entrance appear to destroy the otherwise vertical stratification in temperature and salinity in spite of strong solar heating in summer. On the contrary, suspended sediment concentrations show a marked stratification with increasing concentrations toward bottom layer. Clastic particles in suspended sediments consist mostly of very fine to fine silt (4-16 ${\mu}$m) with a poorly-sorted value of 14.7-25.9 ${\mu}$m. However, at slack time with less turbulent energy, flocs larger than 40 ${\mu}$m are formed by cohesion and inter-collision of particles, resulting in a higher settling velocity. Strong ebb-dominated and weak flood dominated tidal currents, in the southwestern and the northeastern part, respectively, result in a seaward residual flow of -10${\sim}$-20 cm $s^{-1}$ at station H1 and a bayward residual flow less than 5.0 cm $s^{-1}$ at station H2. However, mean concentration of suspended sediments at station H1 is higher at flood (95.0-144.1 mg $1^{-1}$) than in ebb (75.8-120.9 mg $1^{-1}$). On the contrary, at the station H2, the trend is reversed with higher concentration at the ebb (84.7-158.4 mg $1^{-1}$) than that at the flood (53.0-107.9 mg $1^{-1}$). As a result, seaward net suspended sediment fluxes ($f_{s}$) are calculated to be -1.7 ${\sim}$-$15.610^{3}$ kg $m^{-2}$ $s^{-1}$ through the whole water column. However, the stations H1 and H2 show definitely different values of the flux with higher ones in the former than in the latter. Alternatively, depth-integrated net suspended sediment loads ($\c{Q}_{s}$) for one tidal cycle are also toward the offshore with ranges of 0.37${\times}$$10^{3}$ kg $m^{-1}$ and 0.21${\times}$$10^{3}$ kg $m^{-1}$, at station H1 and H2, respectively. This seaward transport of suspended sediment in summer suggests that summer-time erosion in the Hampyung muddy tidal flats is a rather exceptional phenomenon compared to the general deposition reported for many other tidal flats on the west coast of Korea.

In order to predict the seabed topography change due to the construction of offshore wind power structures in the west-southern sea of Korea, field observations for tides, tidal currents, suspended sediment concentrations and seabed sediments were carried out at the same time. These data could be used for numerical simulation. In numerical experiments, the empirical constants for the suspended sediment flux were determined by the trial and error method. When a concentration distribution factor was 0.1 and a proportional constant was 0.05 in the suspended sediment equilibrium concentration formulae, the calculated suspended sediment concentrations were reasonably similar with the observed ones. Also, it was appropriate for the open boundary conditions of the suspended sediment when the south-east boundary corner was 11.0 times, the south-west was 0.5 times, the westnorth 1.0 times, the north-west was 1.0 times and the north-east was 1.0 times, respectively, using the time series of the observed suspended sediment concentrations. In this case, the depth change was smooth and not intermittent around the open boundaries. From these calibrations, the annual water depth change before and after construction of the offshore wind power structures was shown under 1 cm. The reason was that the used numerical model for the large scale grid could not reproduce a local scour phenomenon and they showed almost no significant velocity change over ± 2 cm/s because the jacket structures with small size diameter, about 1 m, were a water-permeable. Therefore, it was natural that there was a slight change on seabed topography in the study area.

The line-SW is located in the mouth of Gomso Bay (20 Km long and 5-8 Km wide),west coast of Korea. This area is composed of sand flat, mud flat, sand shoal and chenier, The difference of physical, geological and geomorphic conditions in subenvironments of the bay may control and produce distingtive foraminiferal populations and assemblages. This study investigates whether five a priori subenvironments (five local zonations) in Gomso-Bay tidal flat can be distinguished from each other on the basis of total (living plus dead) foraminiferal assemblages. Seventy-four species (67 benthic; 7 planktonic) were recorded in total assemblages of surface sediments from 10 stations. Ammonia beccarii tepida, Discorbis candeiana, Elphidium etigoense and Eponides nipponicus were most dominant species in living and total assemblages. The relative abundance (%) of living population was high at upper flat and decreased from upper to lower flat. The low percentages of living populations in middle to lower flat are probably influenced by the decreasing reproduction of foraminifera caused by high energy condition and addition of dead species from offshore. The occurence of planktonic foraminifera in middle to lower flat (5.3∼6.6%) indicates introduction of planktonic foraminifera from offshore by storm and/or tidal current. The relatively high numbers of species in lower middle to lower flat are probably caused by a mixing of faunas from these areas and offshore. The high numbers of total individuals per 50 ml of sediment in upper flat indicate that this area is a relatively stable environment where waves and currents are protected by the chenier. Five biofacies of the total foraminiferal assemblages were established on the basis of dominant species (those representing more than 20% of the total assemblages in any station) in the five a priori subenvironments recognized along the Line-SW transect in Gomso-Bay tidal flat. Five biofacies are potentially useful in paleoenvironmental interpretation in late Quaternary Gomso-Bay tidal deposits.

Gabbroic xenoliths in poikilitic and equigrnular textures and plagioclase megacrysts, up to 15 cm in size, are trapped in alkaline basalts from Sinsanri and Sangeumburi, Jeju island. Gabbroic xenoliths are gabbro norite in composition. Plagioclase is the most dominantly present $(42{\sim}94vol%)$, while olivine crystals are absent. Pokilitic xenoliths, interpreted as cumulates, include euhedral opx+cpx in oikocryst plagioclase. Equigranular xenoliths include subhedral to anhedral opx+cpx+pl. Based on the textural and geochemical natures, occurrence mode at the outcrops, poikiltic and equigranular xenoliths and plagioclase megacrysts were from rigid zone, mushy zone and crystal-suspended zone of the magma chamber, respectively. The gabbroic xenoliths in alkaline basalts of the Juju island represent crystallization products of relatively evolved basaltic magma at the Jeju magma reservoir beneath the Jeju Island. They are gabbro fragments that represent crystallization-isolation-capture processes associated with magma batches temporarily occupying reservoirs.

본 연구는 2001년 9, 10, 11월에 2주 간격으로 6개 정점에서 한강 하류 수욕6개 정점(팔당대교-행주대교)에서 식물플랑크톤 군집과 수지로한경(수온, 염분도, pH, DO, BOD, SS, TN, TP, $NO_{3}-N$, $NH_{4}-N$, $PO_{4}-P$)을 조사하였다. 수온은 7,8월에 $24~27^{\circ}C$ 로 높았으며, BOD의 평균 농도는 정점 1과 2에서 각각 1.26mg/l, i.39mg/l이었고, 정점 3~6에서 3.52~4.01mg/l이었다. $NO_{3}-N$은 정점 1에서 6까지 평균 1.36~1.98mg/l의 범위였고, $PO_{4}-P$의 평균 농도는 BOD, $NO_{3}-N$와 마찬가지로 하류오 향할수록 높아져 정점 6에서 정점 1의 39배였다. TN은 평균 1.74~6.89mg/l, TP는 0.03~0.42mg/l의 범위였다. 한강하류의 수질은 강우에 영향이 크며, 탄천의 영향을 받는 정점 3(영동대교)에서 급격히 나빠져 성산대교까지 유지되다가 안양천의 영향을 받는 행주대교에서 최고조로 악화되는 거으로 파악되었다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 6월 4일 평균 $5.81\times10^{6}cells/l$로 감소하였다가 7월 13일 $28.53\times10^{6}cells/l$로 증가하였다. 7월 28일과 8월 11일에 각각 $3.07~8.34\times10^{6}cells/l$로 감소하였다가 8월25일 $24.47\times10^{6}cells/l$로 다시 증가하여 조사기간 중 항시 대발생이 유지되고 있었다. 본 수역에서 우점종은, 6월에 전 조사정점에서 Aulacoseria granulata와 Aulacoseria granulata var. angustussima, 7월에는 Aulacoseria granulata var. angustussima와 Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis와 남조류인 Anabaena sp., Oscillatoria sp.가 우점을 하였다. 8월에는 남조류인 Anabaena sp. Microcystic sp. Osillatoria sp.가 높은 비율로 우점하였다. 여름철 식물플랑크톤 대발생에 영향은 수온과 직산염이 중요하였으나, 부유물질 크게 기여하지 못하였다.
