Impacts of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) assimilation to the prediction of upper ocean temperature is investigated by using a regional ocean forecasting system, in which 3-dimensional optimal interpolation is applied. In the present study, Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) dataset is adopted for the daily SST assimilation. This study mainly compares two experimental results with (Exp. DA) and without data assimilation (Exp. NoDA). When comparing both results with OSTIA SST data during Sept. 2011, Exp. NoDA shows Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of about $1.5^{\circ}C$ at 24, 48, 72 forecast hour. On the other hand, Exp. DA yields the relatively lower RMSE of below $0.8^{\circ}C$ at all forecast hour. In particular, RMSE from Exp. DA reaches $0.57^{\circ}C$ at 24 forecast hour, indicating that the assimilation of daily SST (i.e., OSTIA) improves the performance in the early SST prediction. Furthermore, reduction ratio of RMSE in the Exp. DA reaches over 60% in the Yellow and East seas. In order to examine impacts in the shallow costal region, the SST measured by eight moored buoys around Korean peninsula is compared with both experiments. Exp. DA reveals reduction ratio of RMSE over 70% in all season except for summer, showing the contribution of OSTIA assimilation to the short-range prediction in the coastal region. In addition, the effect of SST assimilation in the upper ocean temperature is examined by the comparison with Argo data in the East Sea. The comparison shows that RMSE from Exp. DA is reduced by $1.5^{\circ}C$ up to 100 m depth in winter where vertical mixing is strong. Thus, SST assimilation is found to be efficient also in the upper ocean prediction. However, the temperature below the mixed layer in winter reveals larger difference in Exp. DA, implying that SST assimilation has still a limitation to the prediction of ocean interior.

효과적인 저수지 수질관리를 위해서는 신뢰도 높은 수리 및 수질모델이 필요하며, 이러한 모델의 성능은 다양한 수문사상에 대하여 적용함으로써 검증할 수 있다. CE-QUAL-W2 모델(이후 W2)은 횡방향 평균 2차원 수리 수질 해석 모델로써 수체의 길이에 비해 폭이 상대적으로 좁고 수심이 깊은 우리나라 대부분의 저수지 지형에 적합한 모델이다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존 연구에서 가뭄년인 2001년과 평수년인 2004년 수문사상에 대하여 보정한 대청호 W2 부영양화모델을 최근 평수년인 2006년과 가뭄년인 2008년을 대상으로 검증하는데 있다. 모델의 검증은 물수지, 수온성층 구조 변화, 부영양화 해석에 중점을 두었으며, 실측자료와 모의결과의 적합성 비교 평가는 결정계수값$(R^2)$, AME(absolute mean error)와 RMSE(root mean square error)를 이용하였다. 저수지 물수지의 적합성을 검증하기 위하여 모의수위와 실측수위를 비교한 결과, $R^2$값이 2006년과 2008년에 각각 0.9945, 0.9972로 나타나 신뢰도가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 계절별 성층구조 변화 모의 성능을 검증하기 위해 회남수역과 댐 앞 지점에서 수심별 수온의 모의값과 실측값을 비교하였다. 2006년의 경우 모델은 홍수기 동안 안정적으로 수온 성층현상을 모의하였으나, 댐 앞 지점에서 수온 약층이 형성된 구간에서 실측값과 다소 편차를 보였으며, 오차크기는 AME가 $0.561\sim2.088^{\circ}C$, RMSE는 $0.797\sim2.762^{\circ}C$범위였다. 반면, 가뭄년인 2008년에는 전 기간에 걸쳐 모두 안정적으로 저수지 수온 성층현상을 모의하였으며, 오차크기는 AME $0.413\sim1.162^{\circ}C$, RMSE $0.546\sim1.415^{\circ}C$ 범위였다. 조류의 생산성이 높은 표층에서 T-N, T-P 및 Chl-a 농도 모의결과를 장계교, 대정리, 회남대교, 댐 앞, 추동취수탑 및 문의취수탑에서 시계열로 실측값과 비교 검증한 결과, T-N과 T-P는 2006년과 2008년 모두 모든 비교 지점에서 모의값과 실측값의 시계열 변동이 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 홍수기 이외 기간에는 큰 변동 폭을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 기존 연구에서 확인된 바와 같이 7월 이후부터 T-P 모의값이 실측값을 과대 산정하는 경향을 보였는데, 그 원인은 산소 결핍상태에서 저니층에서 용출되는 철(Fe) 또는 망간(Mn)과 같은 이온 성분이 인과 흡착하여 침전되는 기작이 모의과정에 적절히 반영되지 않은 것이 원인으로 판단된다. 조류(Chl-a)농도의 경우, 2006년과 2008년에 모든 지점에서 모델은 조류의 발생과 시계열 변화를 적절히 모의하였으나, 2008년 1월부터 8월까지 댐 앞과 추동 및 문의취수탑에서는 모의값이 실측값을 과대 산정하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 해마다 그리고 계절별로 우점하는 조류 종이 상이한 반면, 모델에서는 이에 대한 매개변수를 적절히 고려하지 못한 것이 원인으로 판단된다.

Mass mortalities of the farmed sea squirt, Halocynthia roretzi, occurred in August, 2006 along the Gyeongbuk coasts of the East Sea without any pathological symptom. Suspecting the No. 10 typhoon, Wukong, which had passed over the relevant locations in the middle of August, 2006 as a culprit of the mortalities, we compared water temperature stratifications of the affected coasts before and after the typhoon. Just prior to the typhoon, cold waters lower than $15^{\circ}C$ were stratified at depths deeper than 10m probably by a persisting upwelling of cold bottom waters. The typhoon enforced water off-coast waters into coasts for 5 days, replacing the cold waters at depths $10{\sim}20m$ which can be justified by Ekman Spiral Effect. The results were an increment of water temperature by $10^{\circ}C$ and more at depths where sea squirts were suspended. The sudden elevation of water temperature might drive the sea squirts under abnormal stress to mass mortality.

To study the distribution of larva and juvenile of the sand eel, Ammodytes personatus in the Kangwon coastal, samples were collected by the larva net (RN 80 net) and small drag net at 60 stations from January 1996 to December. Appearance season of larva and juvenile of sand eel was appeared untill the January to June in the Kangwon-do coast, and the densities of them were high in June. Appearance phase, length frequency distribution of larva and juvenile of sand eel were distributed that the average standard length 10.0~30.0mm in the temperature range of $5.0{\sim}6.0^{\circ}C$ at the January to March, and April to June occurred the average standard length 40.0~80.0 mm in the temperature range of $7.2{\sim}12.0^{\circ}C$. It was distributed in southern part of Kangwon-do coast until the February to March 1996. And association of the sand eel migrated to the northern and middle part of Kangwon-do coast at April when surface water temperature was higher than $7.2^{\circ}C$. It was considered that the migration of the abundance larva and juvenile of sand eel in this area is mainly affected by the water temperature.

Using the data from the sea water monitoring system installed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station, we have analyzed the water properties around the station as well as the characteristics of the fresh water from the Changjiang River and the influence of typhoons on the sea water. In general, the accuracy and stability of the temperature data are high, but those of the salinity data are worse than the specification of the instruments. The daily variation of temperature and salinity is mainly controlled by the vertical motion of a water column due to semi-diurnal tide and diurnal change in the solar insolation. Seasonal change is prominent in temperature data. The freshwater from the Changjiang River is the main cause of large salinity variation. In August 2003 and August 2004, about 10 days before fresh water was observed near the Jeju Island, low salinity water was observed at the Ieodo Station. On the other hand, in July 2005 fresh water was observed at the station but not at around the Jeju Island. In other words, the fresh water observed at the Ieodo Station does not always expand to the Jeju Island. Two strong typhoons passed by the station in September 2003 and August 2004. The effects of the typhoons were lasted for 3 to 4 days.

An extensive set of both in-situ and satellite data regarding oceanic sea surface temperatures in Northeast Asian seas, collected over a 10-year period, was collocated and surveyed to assess the accuracy of satellite-observed sea surface temperatures (SST) and investigate the characteristics of satellite measured SST errors. This was done by subtracting insitu SST measurements from multi-channel SST (MCSST) measurements. 845 pieces of collocated data revealed that MCSST measurements had a root-mean-square error of about 0.89$^{\circ}C$ and a bias error of about 0.18$^{\circ}C$. The SST errors revealed a large latitudinal dependency with a range of $\pm3^{\circ}C$ around 40$^{\circ}N$, which was related to high spatial and temporal variability from smaller eddies, oceanic currents, and thermal fronts at higher latitudes. The MCSST measurements tended to be underestimated in winter and overestimated in summer when compared to in-situ measurements. This seasonal dependency was discovered from shipboard and moored buoy measurements, not satellite-tracked surface drifters, and revealed the existence of a strong vertical temperature gradient within a few meters of the upper ocean. This study emphasizes the need for an effort to consider and correct the significant skin-bulk SST difference which arises when calculating SST from satellite data.

We investigated occurrence and molecular phylogeny of the toxic epiphytic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis at seven sampling sites in the coastal waters off Jeju Island of Korea in April, 2017. During the sampling period, surface water temperature ranged from 15.7 to $18.3^{\circ}C$ and salinity was relatively constant, ranging from 33.4 to 34.9. Of a total of 13 macroalgal species collected from all sampling sites, Ostreopsis cells were observed from 8 macroalgal species and the highest cell abundance ($157.5cells\;g^{-1}$) was recorded on the red alga Grateloupia filicina at St. 6. LSU rDNA D8/D10 sequences of all Korean Ostreopsis strains isolated from the 4 sampling sites were 100% identical. Molecular phylogentic analyses (BI and ML) inferred from LSU rDNA alignment showed that the Korean Ostreopsis strains placed into the previously described the Ostreopsis sp. 1 clade, which contained strains isolated from the temperate coastal waters of Japan. The Korean Ostreopsis sp. 1 strain grew in a wide range of temperature ($10-30^{\circ}C$) and salinity (25-30), with its maximum growth rate of $0.49d^{-1}$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and salinity of 30, indicating that they can be tolerated in temperate areas.

This study investigated the temperature-salinity spatio-temporal variability around the Ulleung-do Island (UI) by using CTD profiles obtained by the ARGO floats far the period of Oct.,2003 to Aug.,2005. The waterbody in the upper 700 m around the UI could be classified into five water masses, which is consistent to traditional water characteristics in the East Sea. In the upper surface layer, the temperature and salinity in fall season became even lower than those properties in the summer time. The East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW) characterized by the salinity minimum layer shows the range of potential temperature between 1 to $5^{\circ}C$ and salinity lower than 34.06 psu. The ESIW lies approximately at 265 m depth with average thickness of 175 m. This thickness of the ESIW continues to be relatively uniform regardless of spatio-temporal space. However, the depth of the ESIW shows vertical variation influenced by the Ulleung warm eddy (UWE). Since the UWE lies in the upper layer, the Upper Portion of the Japan Sea Proper. Water (UPJSPW) is also affected to show the vertical variation. The influence extorted by the UWE reached down to 700 m depth in terms of temperature. The CTD profiles obtained with the high sampling rate by ARCO floats over two-year period provided with very useful and detailed informations in investigating the spatio-temporal variability In the study area.

This study have implemented finding the optimal water temperature parameter set for Hapcheon dam reservoir using CE-QUAL-W2 model. In particular the sensitivity analysis was carried out for four water temperature parameters of wind sheltering coefficient (WSC), radiation heat coefficient (BETA), light extinction coefficient (EXH2O), heat exchange coefficient at the channel bed (CBHE). Firstly, WSC, BETA, EXH2O shows relatively high sensitivity in common during April to September, and CBHE does during August to November. Secondly, as a result of identifying depth range of parameter influence, BETA and EXH2O show 0~9 m and 8~14 m which is thermocline layer close to water surface, CBHE is deep layer 12 m away from bottom. Finally, applying annual or monthly optimal parameter sets indicates that the bias between two sets does not show much differences for WSC and CBHE parameters, but BETA and EXH2O parameters show $0.20^{\circ}C$ and $0.51^{\circ}C$ of monthly average biases for two parameter sets. In particular the bias reveals to be $0.4^{\circ}C$ and $1.09^{\circ}C$ during May and August that confirms the necessity of use of monthly parameters during that season. It is claimed that the current operational custom use of annual parameters in calibration of reservoir water quality model requires the improvement of using monthly parameters.

The authors surveyed the seasonal variations of environmental factors, the distributions of heterotrophic bacteria and Anabaena cylindrica growth-inhibiting bacteria at each water layer in Daechung Reservoir to verify the role of bacteria during the extinction of bloom. Average water depth at site 1, 2, and 3 were 25.5 m, 15.0 m and 12.3 m, respectively. Water temperature showed a typical pattern seasonally. The variation of DO was relatively inverse proportional to that of water temperature, although it was irregular during summer time. DO decreased gradually to early May, fluctuated sharply after then, and followed by gradual increasement after middle of September. This variation pattern was notable at surface layer. There was remarkable difference in DO concentraion between surface layer and the other water layers during the period in which DO irregulary varied. The variation range of chlorophyll-a concentraion at surface layer in summer time was broad, and it was relatively high when DO was high. The population size of heterotrophic bacteria was high from Spring to Autumn, an declined after September when the water temperature droped rapidly. Especially this variation pattern was prominent at the surface layer. Bacteria that inhibit the growth of A. cylindrica was almost not detected by June, and its distribution increased in July. Afterward, it showed different variation pattern between each site. The distribution of A. cylindrica growth-inhibiting bacteria was higher at the middle and bottom layer than the surface layer in July and October, when it was larger at all sites for the study period. This result suggests that the antagonistic bacteria exhibit higher activity when host activity drops. These results also suggest that natural water bacteria control the distirbution of cyanobacteria, especially its activity as controller is remarkable when cyanobacterial growth declines.
