As a part of the multidisciplinary oceanographic study for the productivity enhancement in Deukryang Bay, temperature and salinity were observed from 1992 through 1993. From the results, only the data in summer of two years are compared. Owing to the contrary meteorolgical conditions in both summers both of temperature and salinity had the patterns of horizontal distributions quite different from each other. In 1992 with low precipitation, there was a tendency of temperature increase and salinity decrease from the bay mouth towards the bay head. In 1993 when the air temperature was abnormally low, isotherms and isotherms tended to be parallel to the local u3s of the bay where the warmer and less saline water distributed along the western coast. Reduced solar radiation and increase in the relative importance of the distribution of properties along the current that was parallel to the axis of the bay could be responsible for this result. Vertical structures of both temperature and salinity were dependent on the stirring effect of tidal current. Stratification was destroyed during the spring tide while it was formed during the neap tide.

금속 재료 중 철강은 기계적 특성이 우수하고 대량생산이 가능하여 선박, 건축, 자동차 등 다양한 분야에 기초재료로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스테인리스강 등과 같은 일부 특수한 용도의 강을 제외하고는 부식환경에 취약한 특성을 가지기 때문에 내식성을 향상을 위한 표면처리에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가장 일반적으로 습식법(wet process)을 통해 표면상에 아연(Zn)을 도금해 사용하며, 아연이 자체적으로 포함한 희생양극(sacrificial anode) 및 차폐(barrier) 효과가 철강의 부식을 방지하게 된다. 하지만 산업의 고도화에 따라 더욱 가혹해진 노출환경으로 인해 고내식 강재에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있으며, 아연코팅 층의 두께를 증가하여 내식성을 확보하는 방안은 미래 환경 및 자원적인 측면에서 근본적인 해결책으로 제시하기 어려움이 있다. 한편, 건식 프로세스(wet process)로 대별되는 PVD(physical vacuum deposition)에 의해 내식성을 향상시키고자 하는 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이것은 표면에 고순도 양질의 금속 막을 형성시킴으로써 외부환경과의 반응을 효과적으로 제어가 가능하며, 형성된 막은 그 물질의 고유 특성뿐만 아니라 제작 조건에 따른 표면의 기하학적 혹은 결정학적 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실용금속 중 이온화 경향이 가장 크고 산소와 반응하여 투과성이 작은 산화 피막 형성이 유리한 마그네슘(Mg)을 활용해 표면의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시켰다. 또한 금속 증착 중 진공도조절을 위해 도입되는 불활성 가스로 아르곤(Ar) 및 질소($N_2$)를 사용하여 표면에 형성한 막의 모폴로지 및 결정배향성이 내식성에 미치는 상관관계를 해석하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 PVD법 중 비교적 간편하고 기초적인 지침을 제시하기 적합할 것으로 고려된 진공증착(vacuum evaporation)법을 이용해 아르곤 및 질소 분위기에서 진공도를 조절하며 용융아연도금상 Mg막을 형성하였다. 제작조건별 막의 기초 특성을 분석하기위해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하였고, 결정배향성(crystal orientation) 분석을 위해 면간격(d-value)과 상대강도(relative intensity)를 확인하였다. 또한 내식성 평가로 염수분무(salt sprat test) 및 양극분극(anode polarization)을 각각 실시하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, Ar 및 $N_2$ 모두에서 가스압이 증가할수록 코팅층의 증착량은 적어지고 입상정(granular structure)의 모폴로지 형성 및 면간격과 상대강도가 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 쳄버 내 동일 진공도에서, $N_2$ 도입 시 Mg막은 더욱 치밀하고 미세한 입상정의 모폴로지로 형성되며 면간격과 상대강도는 더욱 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 내식성 평가에서 저진공 $N_2$ 조건에서 형성시킨 막이 가장 우수한 내식성이 나타났는데, 이는 상대적으로 불안정하고 반응하기 유리한 입계면적을 많이 포함한 입상정 모폴로지 및 표면에너지가 높은면의 면점유율 증가로 인해 외부환경과의 신속한 반응은 물론 안정적인 피막형성이 용이하였기 때문일 것으로 사료된다. 이상으로 Ar 및 $N_2$ 가스압 조건에 따른 고내식 Mg 막의 유효성을 확인하였고 향후 내식성을 향상시키는 방법으로 응용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

A Lagrangian particle tracking model coupled with the ECOM3D were used to study on the behavior of fresh water released from the Namgang Dam in terms of residence time in Kangjin Bay, South Sea, Korea. Model was calibrated until skill cores for elevation, velocity, temperature and salinity are satisfied over 85%. In the numerical simulation, particles were released in 1 hour time interval from the northern boundary. The different patterns of particle trajectory are identified under the varying dynamics from tidal to density-driven current. The average residence time of total particles are approximately 65.9 hours in the entire Kangjin Bay. The average residence time were increased from 55~65 to 70~80 hours during maximum discharge period. Discharge rate of fresh water and average residence time in the Kangjin Bay is high correlated with correlation coefficient over 0.81.

The changes of microflora during fermentation of low salted sardine were observed. The viable cell count in the low salt fermented sardine with $8\%\;or\;10\%$ salt showed lower than that of control ($20\%$ salt) during the fermentation period and it was considered that the microbial growth was controlled by adding ethanol, sorbitol and lactic acid. Among 48 strains isolated, 7 genus of bacteria and 1 genus of yeast were identified during the fermentation of sardine. The changes of microflora also occurred during fermentation depending on the salt levels in the product. Brevibacterium, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Baciilus were detected at early stage of fermentation and they disappeared after 50 days fermentation from the product with $20\%$ salt and Halobacterium, Micrococcus, Pediococcus and Torulopsis were isolated, whereas Brevibacterium, Micrococcus and Pediococcus were isolated from the product with $8\%\;or\;10\%$ salt.

Considering fermented sardine with $20\%$ salt as a reference, the fermented sardines were prepared with 8 or $10\%$ salt, $0.5\%$ lactic acid, $6\%$ sorbitol and $6\%$ ethanol. The taste compounds and TBA value as the index of lipid oxidation were analysed prior to fermentation and after 60 days fermentation in products. The major free amino acids in fermented sardine determined after 60 days fomentation were lysine, leucine, histidine, glutamic acid, arginine and alanine which occupied about $58\%$ of the total free amino acids while histidine and taurine occupied about $93.3\%$ of them in raw meat. Betaine and TMA increased while TMAO and total creatinine decreased filling the fermentation of 60 days. Addition of $0.02\%$ BHA was effective to retard rancidity of the product. The result of omission test showed that the major taste compounds of the fermented sardine with low salt contents were amino acid such as lysine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, leucine and nucleotides and their related compounds, and it is also suggested that betaine, total creatinine and TMAO acted as an auxiliary role.

Acoustic backscatter profiles were measured by Eco-sounder along an east-west section in the mid-eastern Yellow Sea and at an anchoring station in the low salinity region off the Keum River estuary in September 2012, with observing physical water property structure by CTD. Tidal front was established around the sand ridge developed in 50 m depth region. Internal waves measured by Eco-sounder during low tide period in the eastern side of the sand ridge were nonlinear depression waves with wave height of 15 m and mean wavelength of 500 m. These waves were interpreted into tidal internal waves that were produced by tidal current flowing over the sand ridge to the southeast. When weakly non-linear soliton model was applied, propagation speed and period of these internal depression wave were 50 m/s and 16~18 min. Red tides by Dinoflagelates Cochlodinium were observed in the sea surface where strong acoustic scattering layer was raised up to 7 m. Hourly CTD profiles taken at the anchoring station off the Keum River estuary showed the halocline depth change by tidal current and land-sea breeze. When tidal current flowed strongly to the northeast during flood period and land-breeze of 7 m/s blew to the west, the halocline was temporally raised up as much as 2 m and acoustic profile images showed a complex structure in the surface layer within 5-m depth: in tens of seconds the declined acoustic structure of strong and weak scattering signals alternatively appeared with entrainment and intrusion shape. These acoustic profile structures in the surface mixed layer were observed for the first time in the coastal sea of the mid-eastern Yellow Sea. The acoustic profile images and turbidity data suggest that relatively transparent low-layer water be intruded or entrained into the turbid upper-layer water by vertical shear between flood current and land breeze-induced surface current.

The short-term variation of salinity and temperature in a dyked estuarine environment is mainly controlled by the freshwater discharge from the dyke. We examined the distribution of salinity and temperature by the freshwater discharge in the Yeongsan River estuary using the CTD data obtained from 8 stations through three surveys in June (weak discharge) and August (intensive discharge), 2010. During the weak discharge in June, the surface salinity showed 30-32.5 psu and its horizontal gradient was relatively high around Goha-do (0.25~0.32 psu/km). On the other hand, the salinity of the bottom layer was almost constant in the range of 33 psu. Water temperature ranged $19{\sim}21^{\circ}C$ and displayed higher gradient in north-south direction than the gradient of east-west direction. During the intensive freshwater discharge on August 12, the salinity dropped to 9~26 psu. The maximum horizontal gradient of surface salinity reached 3.8 psu/km in the north of Goha-do where the strong salinity front was formed, and the horizontal salinity gradient of bottom layer was 0.28 psu/km. The horizontal gradient of water temperature was $-0.45^{\circ}C/km$ in the surface and $-0.12^{\circ}C/km$ in the bottom with high surface temperature near the dyke and decreasing gradually to the river mouth. After 3 days of the intensive discharge ($3^{rd}$ survey), the surface salinity increased to 22~26 psu. However, there still existed relatively high horizontal gradient around Goha-do. In the mean time, the bottom salinity decreased to 26.5~27.5 psu, but its gradient was not big as much as the surface gradient. According to time series of CTD profile near the dyke, the discharged fresh water jetted down temporarily and then recovered gradually with the recovering speed of 0.4 m/hour for the discharge case of $13{\times}10^6$ ton. Due to the combined effects of freshwater discharge and surface heating during the summer of 2010, the Yeongsan estuary, in general, underwent intensified vertical stratification, which in turn caused the inhibition of vertical mixing, especially inside area of estuary. Based on the spatial distribution of salinity and temperature, the Yeongsan estuary can be divided into three regions: the Goha-do area with strong horizontal gradient of salinity and temperature, inner estuary from Goha-do to the dyke with low salinity, and outer estuary from Goha-do to the coasts with relatively high salinity.

The distributional characteristics of chlorophyll-a and their relationship to the oceanographic condition were investigated in the northern part of East China Sea in February, May, August and November during 1995$\~$1997. The temperature and salinity were high in the eastern area and low in the western area. Thermocline and halocline were strongly formed at the 50 m depth in August. Dissolved oxygen was low in August with value of 3.77 ml/$\ell$, particularly in the near coast of East China, where dissolved oxygen was less than 2.0 ml/$\ell$. Transparency was high in May while low in February. Total nitrogen and phosphate concentrations were high in November while silicate concentrations was high in August. They showed the seasonal variations. Total nitrogen and phosphate revealed high concentrations in the near coast of East China, where the salinity was the lowest. Especially, total nitrogen and silicate were higher in August than the other survey months in the near coast of East China. Phosphate showed the even distributional pattern. Chlorophyll-a appeared high in August with 0.512$\mu$g/$\ell$ and low in February with 0.372$\mu$g/$\ell$. Annual means in each survey depth was high at the 10m depth with 0.632 $\mu$g/$\ell$ and gradually decreased toward the more deep depth. But the cencentrations at 150m depth near the bottom again increased as 0.243 $\mu$g/$\ell$. In the seasonal patterns of vortical distribution of chlorophyll-a, the maximum depth value was surface in February, 30 m in May, 10 m in August and 20 m in November. Transparency showed the highest value in May. It means that there are the close relationship between the vertical distribution of chlorophyll-a and transparency.

The color and optical properties of seawater are determined by the interaction between dissolved organic and inorganic substances and plankton contained in it. The Ieodo - Ocean Research Institute (I-ORS), located in the East China Sea, is affected by the low salinity of the Yangtze River in the west and the Tsushima Warm Current in the south. Thus, it is a suitable site for analyzing the fluctuations in circulation and optical properties around the Korean Peninsula. In this study, seawater surrounding the I-ORS was classified according to its optical characteristics using the satellite remote reflectance observed with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Aqua and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) bio-Optical Marine Algorithm Dataset (NOMAD) from January 2016 to December 2020. Additionally, the variation characteristics of optical water types (OWTs) from different seasons were presented. A total of 59,532 satellite match-up data (d ≤ 10 km) collected from seawater surrounding the I-ORS were classified into 23 types using the spectral angle mapper. The OWTs appearing in relatively clear waters surrounding the I-ORS were observed to be greater than 50% of the total. The maximum OWTs frequency in summer and winter was opposite according to season. In particular, the OWTs corresponding to optically clear seawater were primarily present in the summer. However, the same OWTs were lower than overall 1% rate in winter. Considering the OWTs fluctuations in the East China Sea, the I-ORS is inferred to be located in the transition zone of seawater. This study contributes in understanding the optical characteristics of seawater and improving the accuracy of satellite ocean color variables.

Ocean salinity affects ocean circulation on a global scale and low salinity water around coastal areas often has an impact on aquaculture and fisheries. Microwave satellite sensors (e.g., Soil Moisture Active Passive [SMAP]) have provided sea surface salinity (SSS) based on the dielectric characteristics of water associated with SSS and sea surface temperature (SST). In this study, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM)-based model for generating high resolution SSS from Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) data was proposed, having machine learning-based improved SMAP SSS by Jang et al. (2022) as reference data (SMAP SSS (Jang)). Three schemes with different input variables were tested, and scheme 3 with all variables including Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution SST yielded the best performance (coefficient of determination = 0.60, root mean square error = 0.91 psu). The proposed LGBM-based GOCI SSS had a similar spatiotemporal pattern with SMAP SSS (Jang), with much higher spatial resolution even in coastal areas, where SMAP SSS (Jang) was not available. In addition, when tested for the great flood occurred in Southern China in August 2020, GOCI SSS well simulated the spatial and temporal change of Changjiang Diluted Water. This research provided a potential that optical satellite data can be used to generate high resolution SSS associated with the improved microwave-based SSS especially in coastal areas.
