This report is to introduce detail processes during the restoration/revision project for the Korean Standard Methods for Marine Environment. The processes are composed of 3 steps: questionaries, QA/QC confirming step by CRM(Certified Reference Materials), and advisory council by specialists. The questionaries required four main topics to be included to the restoration/revision protocol: 1. the guidelines to sampling, transportation, storage, and pre-analytical procedures for the marine specimens, 2. the unified analytical method, especially for the organic compounds, 3. the QA/QC test requirement for CRM, 4. introduction of diverse analytical instruments, 5. the customer- friendly express of the protocol. Based on these new protocol, we expect two most important effects: 1, increased insurance of international credibility and equivalence by the QA/QC procedures, 2. increased conformability and representatively from wide-spread use of the protocol. Finally we suggested several residual topics remained to the inter-government cooperation.

Small fishing ports and coastal structures installed in a relatively low sea water depth disturb the wave induced current and cause the collapse of equilibrium state of sediment transport. These structures creates diffracted waves and matter the concentration of waves to cause the beach erosion. In order to mitigate these eroding problems on the beach, many counter measurements were proposed such as detached breakwater, groin or headland; however, these methods interrupt the aesthetic view of sandy beach due to the exposed structures above the sea level and have difficulty of applying to those beaches with the good scenery. Furthermore, some of these methods create secondary environmental problems after the installations. To eliminate these problems, one of the countermeasures, artificial reefs have been selected and used worldwide to minimize the disturbance of the scenery and secondary effects on the environment. Meanwhile, it is important to set the design elements for installing the artificial reefs such as that of length, opening width, clearing distances from the shoreline and more. Nevertheless, there are no construction manuals or standards for designing the artificial reefs with these important design elements yet. In this study, different conditions of artificial reefs were used with various cases throughout hydraulic model test to precisely analyze the changes of waves and currents to propose the standards of design elements to install the artificial reefs.

Marine traffic management could be defined as the implementation of managerial technical measures to improve vessel traffic safety. The managerial elements of vessel traffic management for ports and harbours or narrow channels include the total amount of traffic control, the vessel traffic separation scheme, speed restriction, traffic control by signals, the navigation information service and so forth. This research aims to quantify how much the traffic separation schemes(TSS) contribute to the alleviation effect of ship handling difficulty and to propose a design standard when the individual management measure is applied in an actual waterway. Traffic separation schemes have now been established in most of the major routes and congested waters of the world, and the number of collisions and groundings have often been dramatically reduced. In this part, the relationship between the alleviation of ship handling difficulty and the reduction of encounter figures among ships is quantitatively clarified by applying the ES model. As results of simulation analysis, it is recognized that a traffic separation system is most effective in the case of narrow width and heavy traffic volume. The centre buoy installation reduces about 1/4 of the alleviation of ship handling difficulty, TSS establishment 1/3, and design change to one-way traffic from two-way traffic reduces 1/2.

In the case of occurring marine oil pollution, it is the most effective way that to prepare all the necessary response resources in advance and to respond to incidents, but there are limits in reality. Therefore, may be an important alternative ways to use a fishing vessel registered in the affected area by massive marine oil pollution efficiently. In the United States and other developed countries, it is can be found that temporary response program by local fishing vessels(VOO program) has been developed and operated. This study was examined for sweeping arm system suitable for domestic small fishing vessels. The selected small vessel was as the model of Coastal gill-net and compound fishing vessel with classes of 2.5~3.5tons, length 8~9m, breath 2.5~2.8m, horsepower 200~250 HP and FRP materials. The developed equipment was designed that can be easily mounted on the model ship and portable structure. For increasing the field practicality, the weight of each part was composed less than 10kg for easy assembly and disassembly.

한강하구지역의 강화해협은 한강, 임진강과 예성강의 강물이 흘러들어오는 하구형 수로로서 폭이 좁고, 유속이 매우 빠른 특성을 갖는다. 또한 조류(潮流)의 영향을 강하게 받아 상당량의 유량을 경기만으로 내보내고, 한강의 상류로부터 유입되는 상당량의 물질이 하구로 운반되어 침전하여 쌓이거나 하류의 외해로 배출하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 한강하류부에 위치한 강화해협의 유 무에 따른 한강과 임진강의 흐름특성 변화를 분석하였다. 수치모의를 위해 복잡한 하구지역의 물의 흐름해석이 가능한 일차원적인 모델링 도구인 MIKE 11 모형을 이용하여 정류 및 부정류 해석을 실시하였다. 상류경계조건은 홍수 시 방류량이 크게 증가하는 홍수기 유량과 조위의 영향을 많이 받는 평수기 시 유량으로 설정하였고, 하류경계조건은 평수기를 비롯하여 홍수기에도 임진강과 한강의 유량에 영향을 미치는 서해 조위로 설정하였다. 강화해협의 폐쇄에 따른 수위 변화의 영향은 홍수기 시 실제 강우 사상을 모의 하였을 때 최대 8.21% 수위가 상승하였으며, 200년 빈도 계획홍수량을 모의한 결과로는 정류 해석의 경우 최대 8.25%의 변화율을 보였고, 부정류 해석의 경우 최대 13.08%의 변화율을 보였다. 평수기는 창조기에 수위 변화가 적었던 반면 낙조기에는 창조기에 비해 수위 변동이 심하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 추후 강화해협 뿐만 아니라 해양생태계의 중요한 가치를 지니고 있는 한강하구의 다른 수로에 의한 영향을 분석함으로써 수로의 중요성을 평가하고, 2차원 수치해석 등을 통한 다양한 분석을 실행하여, 홍수 및 해양환경 훼손으로부터 하구 환경을 보호하는 보다 정량적인 대응체계가 정립되어야할 것으로 사료된다.

날로 심각해지는 해수 오염, 유류사고, 해파리에 의한 인명피해 및 발전소의 경제적 피해사고, 해양 쓰레기 등과 같은 해양 환경 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 해양환경문제를 해결하기위해 생물학적 방법과 물리적 방법이 있으나 생물학적 방법은 개체군과 종류의 변화로 그 적용이 어려운 실정이고, 물리적 방법은 지속적인 제거를 위한 비용적인 문제와 인부 및 자원봉사자의 안전문제가 발생한다. 따라서 에어버블을 이용한 각종 친환경적 방법이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 에어버블 차단막의 차단율을 증가시키기 위해 현장조건 내에서 에어버블의 거동특성에 대한 실험을 하였다. 실험을 위해 회류식 개수로 에어버블 거동실험장치를 제작하였다. 실험장치는 길이 8.1m, 높이 1.2m, 폭 0.7m이며, 두께 10mm의 투명 아크릴를 사용하여 에어버블의 거동을 관찰 할 수 있게하였다. 대형펌프를 사용하여 물이 회류함을 통해 흐름유속을 만들어 현장조건을 고려하였다. 에어버블을 분사하기 위해 압축공기 저장탱크와 연결된 분사구가 있으며, 노즐의 크기(0.5mm~1.0mm)로 분사량을 조절하고 분사압은 별도의 조절장치를 이용하여 0~5bar 범위의 분사압 조절을 가능하게 하였다. 초고속 카메라와 3축유속계를 사용하여 에어버블의 이동경로, 유속 및 에어버블의 거동을 측정하였다. 실험을 통한 구간별 에어버블의 거동 분석 결과, 상승속도는 분사구에서 분출되는 구간인 0~0.8m 에서는 상승속도가 증가하고, 0.8~1.2m구간에서는 속도가 다시 상승하는 경향을 확인하였다. 이는 수표면에 가까워질수록 수압이 작아져서 에어버블의 크기가 커짐에 따라 부력이 커짐으로 판단된다. 같은 이유로 분사량이 많을수록 상승속도도 같이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 유속에 따른 거동은 유속을 0.1m/s~0.5m/s로 조정하여 유속별 에어버블이 수표면까지 도달하는 거리, 속도 및 이동경로를 분석하였다. 유속과 에어버블이 수표면까지 도달하는 거리는 비례하여 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 조건에 따른 에어버블 거동 경험식을 도출하였다. 본 실험은 회류식 개수로 에어버블 거동실험장치를 활용하여 에어버블 거동 경험식을 제시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 에어버블 차단막 기술 개발을 위한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The submarine's intercept pulse detection detects pulses radiated from enemy surface ships, submarines, and torpedoes, and performs an important function of providing maneuverability and survivability of submarine. Whether or not the intercept pulse is detected is determined by comparing the size of the received pulse with the threshold value by the operator. In the case of intercept pulses, the intensity of the pulses is frequently reduced under the influence of various environmental factors. In the situation, if detection is performed with a fixed threshold, a non-detection problem occurs and persists until the operator sets a low threshold. In this paper, we proposed method for automatically adjusting threshold to reduce the non-detection problem caused by a fixed threshold. Simulation were preformed on 4 cases with different pulse level fluctuation widths, and it was confirmed that the detection performance was improved by increasing the number of detections when a method for automatically adjusting threshold was applied to all cases. Through the proposed method, it is expected that the intercept pulse detection performance will be improved in the marine environment the large fluctuations in pulse level in the future.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated WLAN / UWB communication antennas operating at 3.3 [GHz] and 5 [GHz] bands in order to effectively use the high-speed communication network system that improved antenna miniaturization, gain and radiation pattern. Microstrip patch antennas were chosen to improve the bandwidth. The slot width, length, and transmission line width were calculated using the theoretical formula for each step. Simulation results show that the return loss is -14.053 [dB] at 3.3 [GHz] and -13.118 [dB] at 5 [GHz]. The gain showed a value of 2.479 [dBi] at 3.3 [GHz] and a value of 3.317 [dBi] at 5 [GHz]. After optimizing it with the CST Microwave Studio 2014 program, which can be 3D-designed, Based on these results, we investigated the performance of antennas by measuring their characteristics. In recent years, WLAN, which is a variety of wireless technologies that are continuously developing, and UWB, which is a communication technology which is increasing in frequency band due to an increase in demand of the technology users, is used for a high speed wireless communication system. Communication seems to be possible.

We examined changes in the shell valve movements (SVMs) of Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas using a Hall element sensor to investigate the early detection of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum. No increase or decrease was observed in SVMs caused by the non-toxic algae Isochrysis galbana in both M. edulis and C. gigas. However, when M. edulis and C. gigas were exposed to A. pacificum, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning, the average SVMs for 12 hours before and after exposure increased from 1.25 times/hr to 2.13 times/hr and 2.23 times/hr to 8.91 times/hr, respectively. After exposure to A. pacificum, the SVMs of M. edulis increased rapidly within 1 hour and then decreased gradually. However, C. gigas showed high SVMs until 4 hours after exposure. SVMs of C. gigas appeared to be more sensitive to toxic dinoflagellate than those of M. edulis. Therefore, these results are expected to be used as basic data for the establishment of a biological monitoring system for early detection of the toxic dinoflagellate A. pacificum.

Line density index(LDI) was developed to quantify a densely isothermal line rate as standard index in the ocean environment. Theoretical background on the LDI development process restricting index range 0 to 100 was described. And validation test was done for the LDI application condition that total line length is not greater than 1/10 of unit area. NOAA SST(Sea Surface Temperature) data were used for the experimental application of LDI in the South Sea of Korea. Using GIS, $0.1^{\circ}C$ isothermal lines were linearized as vector data form SST raster data, and unit area were built as polygon data. For the LDI calculation, spatial overlapping(line in polygon) was implemented. To analyze the effect of unit area size for the LDI distribution, two cases of unit area size were designed and descriptive statistics was calculated including performing normality test. The results showed no change of LDI's essential characteristics such as mean and normality except for the range of value, variance and standard deviation. Accordingly, it was found that complex structure of thermal front and even smaller scale of front width than unit area size could influence on the LDI distribution. Also, correlation analysis performed between LDI and difference of temperature(${\Delta}T^{\circ}C$), and horizontal thermal gradient(${\Delta}T^{\circ}C/km$) on the front was obtained from linear regression model. This obtained value was compared with the results from previous researches. Newly developed LDI can be used to compare the thermal front regions changing spatio-temporally in the ocean environment using absolute index value. It is considered to be significant to analyze the relationship between thermal front and marine environment or front and marine organisms in a quantitative approach described in this study.
