The icebreaking research vessel ARAON conducted her second ice trial in the Arctic Ocean during the summer season of 2010. During this voyage, the local ice loads acting on the bow of the port side were measured using 14 strain gauges. The measurement was carried out during icebreaking while measuring the thickness of the ice every 10 m. The obtained strain data were converted to the equivalent stress values, and the effects of the ship speed and ice thickness on the ice load were investigated. As a result, it was found that a faster speed produced a larger stress, according to the variation in the peak values below an ice thickness condition of 1.5 m. Meanwhile, the effect of the ice thickness on the ice load was not clear.

Capsicum annuum belongs to the Solanaceae family, crops of which are extensively cultivated worldwide. It is a food source containing various nutrients and vitamins and also serves as a medicine for treating ailments. The burning feeling experienced while consuming Capsicum fruits is due to the presence of capsaicinoids, particularly capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. This study aimed to assess the content of these two compounds in 34 varieties of capsicum and paprika. High-performance liquid chromatography with a gradient elution system and a reverse-phase YMC Pack-Pro column with UV detection at 280 nm was employed. The results revealed that, among the 34 samples, only six samples (samples 1, 15, 20, 29, 32, and 34) contained capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, and their highest contents were found in sample 1 - variety name: Sungil-c (capsaicin: 3.42 mg/g extract, dihydrocapsaicin: 1.20 mg/g extract). These findings suggest that the content of these two compounds is attributed to the variety and is influenced by geographical location and environmental factors. Additionally, this study provides a basis for establishing a C. annuum variety with high capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin contents.

The icebreaking research vessel, ARAON had her second ice trial in the Arctic Sea from 16th July to 12th August 2010. During the voyage, the local ice loads acting on the bow of port side were measured from 14 strain gauges. The measurements were also carried out in ice waters with various ice concentration ratio as well as the icebreaking performance tests. In this study, the ice loads measured during the 'general' operation in ice waters were analyzed. As a first step, the relationship between the location of strain gauges and the ice loads were investigated, and then the possibility for observation of higher ice loads was estimated based on the probability density function. The relationship between the ship speed and the ice load was also investigated. 718 peak stresses data higher than 20 MPa obtained from strain gauges array attached in longitudinally and vertically was analyzed. In general, the ice load increases as the ship speed increases in the low ship speed range, and ice load decreases as the ship speed is greater than a certain speed.

This paper describes the whole procedures to determine ice-induced global loads on the ship using measured full-scale data in accordance with the method proposed by the Canadian Hydraulics Centre of the National Research Council of Canada. Ship motions of 6 degrees of freedom (dof) are found by processing the commercial sensor signals named Motion Pak II under the assumption of rigid body motion. Linear accelerations as well as angular rates were measured by Motion Pak II data. To eliminate the noise of the measured data and the staircase signals due to the resolution of the sensor, a band pass filter that passes frequencies between 0.001 and 0.6 Hz and cubic spline interpolation resampling had been applied. 6 dof motions were computed by the integrating and/or differentiating the filtered signals. Added mass and damping force of the ship had been computed by the 3-dimensional panel method under the assumption of zero frequency. Once the coefficients of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic data as well as all the 6 dof motion data had been obtained, global ice loads can be computed by solving the fully coupled 6 dof equations of motion. Full-scale data were acquired while the ARAON rammed old ice floes in the high Arctic. Estimated ice impact forces for two representative events showed 7e15 MN when ship operated in heavy ice conditions.

최적의 선박 운항 항로를 찾기 위해서는 선박의 정확한 추진성능을 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 선박 최적운항시스템의 추진성능 데이터베이스를 생성하기 위한 전산프로그램의 개발에 대해 기술하고 있다. 실해역에서의 추진성능은 표류와 표면 거칠기 등 선체 상태뿐 만 아니라 파랑과 바람 등 해상 상태의 영향을 받는다. 이 부가저항 추정 방법들은 ISO 15016:2002 표준의 실선 속력시운전 해석법을 근간으로 하고 있으며, 추가로 바람과 선체 표면 거칠기에 대한 몇 가지 추정 방법이 보완되었다. 이 추정 방법들은 종합적인 전산프로그램으로 만들어졌다. 그리고 향후 최적 운항경로 계산에 활용될 쇄빙연구선 아라온 호에 대해서 데이터베이스 계산이 수행되었다. 이 프로그램은 모든 선박의 항로 최적화 계산에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As commercialization of the Arctic sea route and resource developments are regularized, demands for ice-breaking tankers, LNG carriers, and offshore plants are expected to increase. In addition, the existing ice-breaking cargo ships navigating in the ice-covered waters are worn out. Hence, the construction of new ships is likely to be undertaken for both current and long-term applications. The design of ships navigating in ice-covered waters demands conservative methods and strict development standards owing to the extreme cold and collision tendencies with ice floes and/or icebergs. ISO 19906 recently stated that a fatigue limit should be defined when designing Arctic offshore structures such that the ice-induced fatigue becomes one of the important design drivers. Thus, establishing systematic measures to mitigate ice-induced fatigue problems in ice-breaking ships are important from the viewpoint of having a competitive advantage. In this paper, the issues relating to ice-induced fatigue problems, based on data and published literature, are examined to describe the criticality of ice-induced fatigue. Potential fatigue damage possibilities are investigated using data measured in the Arctic Ocean (2013) and using the Korean icebreaker, ARAON.

In order to investigate the behavior and seasonal variability of Mn as one of the bio-essential metals in the Amundsen sea, which is known as the most biologically productive coastal area around the Antartica, seawaters were collected using a clean sampling system for 10 stations (96 ea) in 2014 (ANA04B) and for 12 stations (139 ea) in 2016 (ANA06B) surveys of RV ARAON. Dissolved and particulate Mn concentration varied in the range of 0.15-4.43 nmol/kg and <0.01 to 2.42 nM in 2014 and in the range of 0.25-4.15 nmol/kg and 0.01-2.64 nM in 2016, respectively. From the sectional distribution of dissolved and particulate Mn, it might be suggested that dissolved/particulate Mn was provided from iceberg melting and diffusion/resuspension from sediments, respectively. Although this sea is highly productive, there was little evidence regarding the biological origin of dissolved Mn, but particulate Mn only in sea ice and offshore areas could be explained as originating from organic matters, e.g. phytoplanktons. And it could be suggested that the subsurface maximum of dissolved Mn was formed by isopycnal transport of melting materials from ice wall to offshore. Compared to early (2014) summer, temperature, salinity, biomass, dissolved and particulate Mn in late (2016) summer indicated that temporal variations might be resulted from the reduction of ice melting and mCDW flow, which induced a reduction in resuspension. In addition, in the late summer, particles including biomass were reduced, which brought about a reduction in the removal rate of dissolved Mn.

The transmission of solar light according to the distribution of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) was measured in the Pacific Arctic Ocean. The Research Vessel Araon visited the ice-covered East Siberian and Chukchi Seas in August 2016. In the Arctic, solar [ultraviolet-A (UV-A), ultraviolet-B (UV-B), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR)] radiation reaching the surface of the ocean is primarily protected by the distribution of sea ice. The transmission of solar light in the ocean is controlled by sea ice and dissolved organic matter, such as CDOM. The concentration of CDOM is the major factor controlling the penetration depth of UV radiation into the ocean. The relative CDOM concentration of surface sea water was higher in the East Siberian Sea than in the Chukchi Sea. Due to the distribution of CDOM, the penetration depth of solar light in the East Siberian Sea (UV-B, $9{\pm}2m$; UV-A, $13{\pm}2m$; PAR, $36{\pm}4m$) was lower than in the Chukchi Sea (UV-B, $15{\pm}3m$; UV-A, $22{\pm}3m$; PAR, $49{\pm}3m$). Accelerated global warming and the rapid decrease of sea ice in the Arctic have resulted in marine organisms being exposed to increased harmful UV radiation. With changes in sea ice covered areas and concentrations of dissolved organic matter in the Arctic Ocean, marine ecosystems that consist of a variety of species from primary producers to high-trophic-level organisms will be directly or indirectly affected by solar UV radiation.

북극해 아메라시아 분지(Amerasia Basin)에 속한 척치 해저평원(Chukchi Abyssal Plain)의 지구조 역사(tectonic history)는 혹독한 해빙 조건으로 인한 관측 부족으로 인하여 아직 밝혀지지 않았다. 지구조역사에 대한 여러 경쟁 가설들은 형성 시기로는 중생대에서 신생대까지, 지각 유형으로는 과도하게 확장된 대륙 지각에서 해양 지각까지, 형성 기작으로는 평행/부채꼴 균열에서 평행이동까지의 광범위한 범위를 갖는다. 2018년(ARA09C 항차)과 2021년(ARA12C 항차)에 쇄빙연구선 아라온을 이용해 해저평원의 수심 2,160~2,250 m 범위의 3개 정점에서 해양지각의 연령 결정에 필수적인 역할을 하는 해양지열의 관측이 이루어졌다. 해양지열 정점은 약 40 km에 걸쳐 확장축에 수직으로 위치한다. 퇴적물 코어 시료의 실험실 열전도도로부터 보정된 현장 열전도도를 사용하면, 관찰된 해양지열은 54~60 mW/m² 범위를 보인다. 해양지각을 가정할 때, 해양지열 관측결과는 형성 시기로서 후기 백악기(중생대)에 해당한다. 추정된 연대는 후기 중생대-신생대 동안 마카로프 분지가 열리면서 척치 해저평원 형성이 활성화되었다는 가설을 뒷받침한다. 이 시기는 동쪽으로 해저평원에 인접한 척치 보더랜드(Chukchi Border Land)의 열개 현상 발생과 동시대이다. 본 연구의 해양지열 관측결과로 퇴적물 내 가스하이드레이트 안정영역 하부(the base of the gas hydrate stability zone)의 위치가 추정되었고(332~367 mbsf), 이는 척치 고원(Chukchi Plateau)에서처럼 가스하이드레이트와 연관된 해저면 모사 반사면을 식별하는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 척치 해저평원의 정확한 형성 과정과 맨틀 열구조에 대한 이해를 높이기 위해 해양지열 관측을 포함한 추가적인 지구물리 탐사가 필요하다.
