This study performs the investigation of a long-term variation of annual maximum surge heights(AMSH) and main characteristics of high surge events, and the statistical evaluation of the AMSH using sea level data at Yeosu and Tongyeong tidal stations over more than 30 years. It is found that the long-term uptrends based on the linear regression in the AMSH are 34.5 cm/34 yr at Yeosu and 33.6 cm/31 yr at Tongyeong, which are relatively much higher than those at Sokcho and Mukho in the Eastern Coast. 71% and 68% of the AMSH occur during typhoon's event in Yeosu and Tongyeong tidal stations, respectively, and the highest surge records are mostly produced by the typhoon. The generalized extreme value distribution taking into account of the time variable is applied to detect time trend in annual maximum surge heights. In addition, Gumbel distribution is checked to find which one is best fitted to the data using likelihood ratio test. The return level and its 90% confidence interval are obtained for the statistical prediction of the future trend. The prevention of the growing storm surge damage by the intensified typhoon requires the steady analysis and prediction of the surge events associated with the climate change.

As a large scale port development in coastal waters proceeds step by step and populations in the vicinity of port are getting increased, the issue on 'how to dispose the treated municipal water and wastewater in harbor' brings peoples' concern. The submarine outfall system discharges the primary or secondary treated effluent at the coastline or in deep water, or between these two. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding sea water and becomes very dilute. We intended in this paper to investigate the impact on dilution of effluent and the behavior of flume under the conditions of the seasonal and spatial temperature variations, which have not been noticeable in designing effective marine outfall system. To predict and analyze the behaviour and dilution characteristics of plume not just with the effluent temperature, but also with the seasonal variation of temperature of surround water, CORMIX( Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System)-GI have been applied. The results should be used with caution in evaluation the mixing zone characteristics of discharged water. We hope to help for the effective operation of outfall system, probable outfall design, protection of water quality, and warm water discharges from a power plant, etc.

Global climatic changes are expected to influence various biogeochemical processes in wetland ecosystems. In particular, coastal mud flat is anticipated to be affected directly by temperature increase as well as indirectly by a sea level rise and changes in precipitation. This study aimed to determine changes in methane production under different temperature and salinity by employing a laboratory-scale manipulation experiment. Soil samples were collected from a mud flat in Dong-Gum Kang-Hwa island in winter and two types of experiments were conducted. In the first experiment soil samples at 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm depth were incubated under same salinity with pore water and diluted salinity to 50 % of natural condition for 20 days and methane production was measured every other days. In the second experiment, soil samples at 5-10 cm depth were incubated in different temperature, $5^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$, under same salinity conditions with first experiment for 31 days and methane production was measured. Results of the first experiment revealed that higher amount of methane was produced at 5-10 cm depth, and salinity effect was predominant at the end of the experiment. The second experiment showed that methane production was higher in $15^{\circ}C$ than $5^{\circ}C$. In addition, methane production was higher when sea water diluted to 50 % compared to control.

These results suggest that methane production is highly influenced by changes in temperature and salinity in coastal mud flat. And that global climatic change may induce biological feedback by affecting production of another greenhouse gas, namely methane from coastal mud flat.

We examine the effects of the sea surface temperature (SST) distribution on heavy snowfall over the Yellow Sea using high-resolution SST products and WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model simulations in 30 December 2010. First, we evaluate the model by comparing the simulated and observed fresh snowfall over the Korean peninsula (Ho-Nam province). The comparison shows that the model reproduces the distributions and magnitudes of the observed snowfall. We then conduct sensitivity model simulations where SST perturbations by ${\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$ relative to baseline SST values (averaged SST for $5{\sim}15^{\circ}C$) are uniformly specified over the region of interest. Results show that ${\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$ SST perturbation simulations result in changes of air temperature by $+0.37/-0.38^{\circ}C$, and by ${\pm}0.31^{\circ}C$ hPa for sea level pressure, respectively, relative to the baseline simulation. Atmospheric responses to SST perturbations are found to be relatively linear. The changes in SST appear to perturb precipitation variability accounting for 10% of snow and graupel, and 18% of snowfall over the Yellow Sea and Ho- Nam province, respectively. We find that anomalies of air temperature, pressure, and hydrometeors due to SST perturbation propagate to the upper part of cloud top up to 500 hPa and show symmetric responses with respect to SST changes.

While the infrared imaging satellites with the several type were developed and operated in the foreign countries, we do not have the domestic infrared imaging satellite up to now. In the paper, the general characteristics of infrared and the applications of infrared image were introduced. Also the oversea development status of the infrared imaging satellite was surveyed and introduced to this paper. According to foreign status, the infrared image is utilized in various application including the forest fire monitoring, the volcano activity research, sea surface temperature measurement, land surface temperature calculation, the climate change research, and the environment monitoring. According to these trend the development of the domestic infrared imaging satellite in low earth orbit was required.

한반도 동해의 외해역(울릉도) 및 내해역에서(포항 및 묵호)의 조사된 T/P 해면자료와 TG해면자료간의 상관성이 각각 어떻게 나타나는가를 파악하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 이때의 1992년 10월부터 1997년 12월까지 관측된 T/P자료와 TG자료를 각각 이용하였다. 본 연구로부터 우리는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 결과를 알 수 있었다. 1) 비교적 조석의 영향이 우세한 내해역에 위치한 포항 및 묵호가 외해역에 위치한 울릉도에 비해서 낮은 상관성을 보였다. 이러한 큰 차이는 M2, S2, Kl 분조 등에 의한 조석변형 때문에 발생하는 현상이다. 이것은 주로 T/P자료에 기인하는 조석오차이다. 2) 조석변형 때문에 발생하는 신호는 해양신호와 관계없는 잘못된 거짓신호로서 이를 제거하기 위해서는 lowpass filter를 적용하는 것이 좋다. 대체로 외해역의 경우는 60일, 120일, 180일, 200일의 필터를 순차적으로 처리함에 따라 상호 두 자료간의 유의성이 점차적으로 개선되는 것을 알 수 있었으나, 내해역의 경우에는 거의 유의성이 개선되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 200일의 필터를 처리했을 때, 외해역에 위치한 울릉도는 상관값이 0.91로 매우 높은 유의성을 보였고, 그리고 내해역에 위치한 포항 및 묵호는 각각 0.58 및 0.65로서 울릉도에 비해서 상대적으로 낮은 유의성을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 Unmaned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)를 이용하여 양식어장에 유입될 수 있는 적조 모니터링에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 적조는 한반도 주변 해역을 포함한 전 세계 연안 지역에서 물고기의 집단 폐사, 해안구조물에 대한 물리적 손상등과 같이 사회 경제적인 피해를 야기 시켜왔고, 최근 해수면 온도상승과 같은 기후 변화에 의한 영향으로 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 남해안과 같이 생활하수가 다량 유입되고 저층에 퇴적된 영양물질이 용출되는 곳에서 상습적으로 발생한다. 1995년에 발생한 코클로디니움에 의한 적조는 764억원의 기록적인 피해를 입히면서, 적조에 대한 신속한 대응과 효과적인 방제작업의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이렇게 양식어장 운영에 다양한 문제가 발생이 된 후 대응하는 것보다 모니터링을 통해 사전에 유입을 차단하고 대처하는 연구가 필요하고 판단된다. 원격탐사를 활용한 적조 탐지 및 모니터링 연구는 UAV에서 취득한 RGB color 영상을 통한 적조 추출 및 분석, 시계열 분석을 위한 영상자료 수집, 현장관측 자료와 위성영상에서 추출한 클로로필 농도 비료글 통해 이루어 졌다. 또한 매년 발생하는 적조생물에 관한 속성정보를 통해 적조발생지역에 대한 적조생물종과 국내 연안에서 발생한 적조의 발생 범위 등의 정보를 지리정보기반에 의한 공간분석을 실시하였다.

The first 7 years of altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) were analyzed to study the surface circulation and its variability in the East Asian Marginal Seas. Long term averaged T/P sea level time series data where compared with in situ sea level measurements from a float-operated type tide gauge around of south Korea and Japan. T/P data are a large contaminated by 60-day tidal aliasing effect, very near the alias periods of M2 and S2. When this 60-day effect is removed, the data agree well with the tide gauge data with 4.6 cm averaged RMS difference. The T/P derived sea level variability reveals clearly the well-known, strong current-topography such as Kuroshio. The T/P mean sea level of North Pacific (NP) was higher than Yellow Sea (YS) and East Sea (ES). The T/P sea level valibility, with strong eddy and meandaring, was the largest in eastern part of Japan and this variability was mainly due to the influence of bottom topography in Kuroshio Extention area.

본 논문에서는 해상 클러터를 고려하여 움직이는 물체의 SAR 원시 데이터를 생성하고, SAR 원시 데이터 중간 처리 결과인 range 압축 데이터의 azimuth 차분 신호로부터 물체의 속도를 측정하는 방법을 여러 가지 환경에 적용하여 그 정확도 및 적용 가능한 경우를 분석하였다. 움직이는 물체에 의한 도플러 중심 주파수의 변이가 azimuth 차분 신호에서 위상의 변화를 가져오므로, 이를 이용하여 움직이는 물체의 속도를 측정하는 알고리듬을 정리하였다. 이 알고리듬을 위에서 생성한 range 압축 데이터에 적용하여, 타깃이 되는 물체가 독립적으로 존재하는 경우, azimuth 상에 또 다른 속도를 가지는 산란체가 존재하는 경우, 그리고 높은 후방산란계수를 가지는 육지에 타깃이 되는 물체가 인접해 있는 경우를 가정하여 속도를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 타깃이 되는 물체가 SAR 영상에서 256 픽셀 범위 내에서 독립적으로 존재할 경우에는 높은 정확도로 물체의 속도를 측정할 수 있었으나, 128 픽셀 범위에 다른 움직이는 물체가 존재하거나, 높은 후방산란 계수를 갖는 육지와 인접해 있을 경우에는 최대 1m/s 의 오차를 나타냈다. 이는 주변 산란체의 영향에 의해 신호가 교란되어 목표물의 위치를 추정하는 과정에서 오차가 발생했기 때문이다.

전 세계 인구의 90% 이상은 북반구 지역에 거주하고 있으며, 약 67%는 해안 지역에 거주하고 있다. 최근 기후변화로 인해 해수면 높이가 상승하고 있으며, 태풍, 폭풍해일 등의 자연재해로 인해 해안 지역의 인명과 재산 피해가 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 조석의 영향에 따라 수위 및 유량이 변동하는 특성을 가지고 있는 감조하천의 경우, 만조시에 하천의 유량이 배수되지 않아 홍수피해가 가중되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 조위의 영향을 받는 감조하천의 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 울산 수위시계열을 wavelet 분석, curve fitting, high pass filter 방법을 이용하여 4가지의 성분(조석 성분, 파고성분, 강우-유출 성분, 잡음 성분)으로 분리하고, 분포형 모형인 GRM 모형을 통해 유출량을 산정하였다. 모의 유출량과 강우-유출 성분을 이용하여 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하고, 모의 유출량에 따른 수위를 추정하였다. 나머지 3가지 성분과 합하여 통합 수위를 산정하고 관측 유량과 비교한 결과 오차가 약 10%이내로 감조 하천의 수위를 정확하게 예측할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 감조하천에서 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발할 수 있었으며, 본 연구 결과를 활용하여 유량에 따른 수위를 예측하고 추가적인 다른 성분의 영향을 고려한다면 홍수기에 감조하천의 수위를 원활하게 관리할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
