  • Multispectral scanner data collected by LANDSAT-1 over the mid West Sea of Korea were analyzed and interpreted for delineation of coastal features and turbidity distribution patterns during different portions of the tidal cycle. Imagery from two successful LANDSAT-1 overpasses of the area in October 1972 and in October 1973 had been used to prepare schematic maps of coastal features and turbidity distributions. Color composite imagery of LANDSAT MSS 4, 5 and 7 gave the best representation of shorelines, coastlines and tidal flats. MSS 5 imagery was most effective in differentiating relative turbidity levels through density slicing techniques. Referring to the tidal power development of Garolim Bay, the basin area measurements assuming dyke construction at the bay entrance, have been carried out on the coastal reature maps comiled from LANDSAT imagery, and those results were correlated with existing data. General areal patterns of surface turbidity distribution in the study area revealed close similarity with bathymetry of the area. Synoptic circulation patterns were also well discriminated from the LANDSAT imagery using the suspended sediment as a tracer.

  • This study was conducted to qualify the equality of the flow distribution from open channel between rapid mixing basin and flocculation basins in a domestic full-scale water treatment plant, and suggest a remedy for improving the equality. In order to evaluate the feasibility of the suggested remedy, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique are used, and for verifying the CFD simulation results wet tests were carried out for the pilot scale channel based on geometric similarity. From the results of CFD simulation and wet tests, it was investigated that the modification of hydraulic structure in the distribution channel, which is to install the longitudinal orifice baffle in flow direction, could improve the equality of the flow distribution. Also, in the case that Froude number is relatively small (Froude number <<0.03), the open ratio of orifices on the installed baffle hardly affects the equality of flow distribution.

  • This paper introduces the probable regional and long distance trade of cotton goods among the pre-Hispanic Mesoamericans during the Classic (A.D. 200-900) period through the comparison of the available documentary sources. Based on the ethnohistoric data and the archaeological evidences it was found that cotton was used throughout the Mesoamerica by the elite ruling class. However, because cotton could not be grown at elevations above 6,000 feet it was obvious that nations such as Teotihuacan which flourished in the highland of present day Mexico City had to import cotton from the tropical coastal hotlands either through trade or tribute. Several ethnohistorical and archaeological data suggest that urban center in highland Mexico had people employed in weaving the textiles rather than cultivating or spinning cotton. Archaeological evidences such as the workshops used by the craft specialists seemed to be associated with weaving of cotton. Because of the similarity in climatic conditions for marine shells and cotton cultivation, Kolb's model seems to be applicable to the cotton trade of the classic Teotihuacan. Based on Kolb's model, it could be hypothesized that Teotihuacan-Kaminaljyyu-Maya was the indirect trade route connecting the Basin of Mexico and the Mayan regions.

  • This study investigates the wave height distributions in front of a perforated wall generated by obliquely incident monochromatic waves through laboratory experiments conducted in a wave basin. Attention is paid to the difference or similarity between a plain wall and a perforated wall. And the investigation is focused on the chamber width and side wall effects of a perforated wall on the propagation characteristics of waves. The main results of this study show that the normalized wave height along a perforated wall is a significant difference compare to a plain wall cases. The side wall in the chamber suppresses the growth of the stem waves.

  • An indirect or supplementary approach is proposed for determining the parameters of the Clark's model in order to improve existing defect in estimating the parameters. The gamma-distribution type function is employed to represent the Clark's model, which takes the same form as the Nash's model, so that parameter estimation is not difficult since it can be performed with a simple optimization process. Analytic forms of Clark's models parameters are introduced using parameters of the proposed methodology to give traditional form of Clark's. An application to a watershed has shown that the proposed approach can preserve the properties of observed data. Based the application, the new approach is recommended as an alternative to the existing parameter estimating methodology.

  • 물이용의 기후변화 취약성은 기후변화 뿐 아니라 이의 직, 간접적 영향으로 인한 물수요량 변화 등의 다양한 요소에 의한 영향을 받기 때문에 그 정도를 파악하기가 어렵다. 또한 기존의 대부분의 물이용 취약성 평가 연구는 단순 기후요소의 변화만 고려한 경우가 대부분이고 사회경제적 요소의 변화를 반영하지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강 유역에서 미래 기후 변화와 사회경제적 변화에 따른 물이용 취약성 평가방법을 개발하고, 한강에 적용함으로서 다양한 사회경제시나리오에 따른 강유역의 물이용 취약성이 어떠한 영향을 받는지에 대한 이해에 주안점을 맞췄다. 개발한 평가방법은 지표기반 접근법으로, 다기준 의사결정기법인 Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)를 사용하였다. 이 방법은 IPCC의 취약성분석 방법에 사용되고 있으며, 취약성에 대한 정의에 따라 결과 값이 적응능력, 노출, 민감도로 구성되어있다. 사용된 지표 자료는 통계청 등 다양한 국가 통계자료를 기반으로 한 자료뿐 아니라, 일부분은 수문모형인 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool)모델로부터 모의된 결과를 포함한다. 기후시나리오로 Representative Concentration Pathways(RCPs), 사회경제시나리오로는 Shared Socioeconomic Pathways(SSPs)를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 물이용 취약성 평가결과는 사회경제적 요소의 변화를 기존의 평가방법에 추가 반영하여 미래 전망을 제시하는 향후 수자원 정책 방향에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Expert system is one type of artificial intelligence softwares that incorporate problem-solving knowledges and experiences of human experts by use of symbolic reasoning and rules about a specific topic. In this study, an expert system, PLAYMAKER2, is used to interpret sedimentary facies and depositional settings of the sedimentary sequence. The original version of the expert system, PLAYMAKER, was developed in University of South Carolina in 1990, and modified into the present PLAYMAKER2 with some changes in the knowledge-base of the previous system. The late Cenozoic sedimentary sequence with maximum 10,000 m in thickness, which is located in the Korean Oil Exploration Block VI-1 at the southwestern margin of the Ulleung Basin, is analysed by the expert system, PLAYMAKER2. The Cenozoic sedimentary sequence is divided into two units-lower Miocene and upper Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments. The depositional settings and sedimentary facies of the Miocene sediments interpreted by PLAYMAKER2 in terms of belief values are: for depositional settings, slope; $57.4\%$, shelf; $21.4\%$, basin; $10.1\%$, and for sedimentary facies, submarine fan; $35.7\%$, continental slope; $26.3\%$, delta; $16.1\%$, deep basinplain; $6.1\%$ continental shelf; $3.2\%$, shelf margin; $1.4\%$. The depositional settings and sedimentary facies of the Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments in terms of belief values we: for depositional settings, slope; $59.0\%$, shelf; $22.8\%$, basin; $7.0\%$, and for sedimentary facies, delta; $24.1\%$, continental slope; $22.2\%$, submarine fan; $17.3\%$, continental shelf; $7.0\%$, deep basinplain; $4.8\%$, shelf margin; $2.6\%$. The comparison of the depositional settings and sedimentary facies consulted by PLAYMAKER2 with those of the classical interpretation from previous studies shows resonable similarity for the both sedimentary units-the lower Miocene sediments and the upper Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments. It demonstrates that PLAYMAKER2 is an efficient tool to interpret the depositional setting and sedimentary facies for sediments. However, to be a more reliable system, many sedimentologists should work to refine and add geological rules in the knowledge-base of the expert system, PLAYMAKER2.
