동해는 지금, 예전에 찾아 볼 수 없는 정도로 세계적인 주목을 받고 있다. CREAMS, PICES, NEAR-GOOS, JECSS 등과 같은 국제적인 공동연구 활동이 활발히 행해지고 있고, '98년도부터는 미국 와싱턴 대학을 중심으로 한 US-CREAMS도 본격적인 활동을 시작할 것이다. 왜 지금 동해인가\ulcorner 그 배경을 살펴보면, 우선 제일 첫째로 미니대양이라는 것과 둘째로 냉전의 종결을 들 수 있다. (중략)

Many countries has been interested in studying the East Sea to look ahead into the world oceans' future, since the East Sea has been known as a miniature ocean. In this respect, PICES decided the East Asian Seas Time-series (EAST) studies, and the East Sea as the first subject (EAST-I). Since 2006 Ministry of Land, Transport & Maritime Affairs, Korea has supported the Korean EAST-I program. Through the Korean EAST-I program, 44 research papers were published in various scientific journals. This special issue contains 6 research articles including results from the interdisciplinary observation in the summer, 2008. Those articles cover the entire East Sea from the Korea Strait to the Japan Basin, and also cover the studies of the euphotic layer to the bottom sediment. MLTM and KIMST have provided full support to EAST-I program. KHOA carried out the joint cruises in the Ulleung Basin. Those are deeply appreciated. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the editorial board of Ocean & Polar Research.
