A biogeochemical model was used to estimate air-sea $CO_2$ exchange over the East China Sea. Since fresh water discharge from the Changjiang River and relevant chemistry were not considered in the employed model, we were not able to produce accurate results around the Changjiang River mouth. This factor aside, the model showed that the East China Sea, away from the Changjiang River mouth, takes approximately $1.5{\sim}2\;mole\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ of $CO_2$ from the atmosphere. The model also showed that biological factors modify the air-sea $CO_2$ flux by only a few percent when we assumed that biological activity increased two-fold. Therefore, we can argue that the biological effect is not strong enough over this area within the framework of the current phosphate-based biological model. Compared to the preindustrial era, in 1995 the East China Sea absorbed $0.4{\sim}0.8\;mole\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ more $CO_2$. If warming of the sea surface is considered, in addition to the increase in atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration, by 2045 the East China Sea would absorb $0.2{\sim}0.4\;mole\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ less $CO_2$ compared to the non-warming case.

This study calculated wind speed at the height of 10 m using a disaster prediction model(Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model, FPHLM) that was developed and used in the United States. Using its distributions, a usable information of surface wind was produced for the purpose of disaster prevention when the typhoon attack. The advanced research version of the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) was used in this study, and two domains focusing on South Korea were determined through two-way nesting. A horizontal time series and vertical profile analysis were carried out to examine whether the model provided a resonable simulation, and the meteorological factors, including potential temperature, generally showed the similar distribution with observational data. We determined through comparison of observations that data taken at 700 hPa and used as input data to calculate wind speed at the height of 10 m for the actual terrain was suitable for the simulation. Using these results, the wind speed at the height of 10 m for the actual terrain was calculated and its distributions were shown. Thus, a stronger wind occurred in coastal areas compared to inland areas showing that coastal areas are more vulnerable to strong winds.

In this study we define the two different types of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$, i.e., the eastern Pacific El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ (i.e., EP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$) versus the central Pacific El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ (i.e., CP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$), during the boreal summer (June-July-August, JJA) and winter (December-January-February, DJF) using the two NINO indices in the tropical Pacific. The two different types of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ significantly differ in terms of the location of the maximum anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific. The CP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ has been observed more frequently during recent decades compared to the EP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$. In addition, our analysis indicates that the statistics of CP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ during JJA is closely associated with the warming trend in the central equatorial Pacific. We also examine the different responses of the East Asian marginal SST to the two types of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ during JJA and DJF. The CP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ during both JJA and DJF is concurrent with warm SST anomalies around the Korean Peninsula including the East China Sea, which is in contrast to the EP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$. Such different responses are associated with the difference in tropics/mid-latitude teleconnections via atmosphere between the two types of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$. Furthermore, our results indicate that atmospheric diabatic forcing in relation to the precipitation variability is different in the tropical Pacific between the EP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ and the CP-El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$.

너울은 항만활동 및 선박운행을 방해하며, 연안지역의 인명사고와 지형 변화 등을 야기키는 주요 원인이다. 이러한 너울의 관측 및 예측은 장기간에 걸친 파랑 및 바람 관측자료와 주변외해 기상자료의 거시적인 검토가 필요하기 때문에 자료 수집 및 분석에 많은 시간과 노력을 필요로 한다. 이러한 어려움 때문에 지금까지는 너울에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지기 어려웠다. 이에 본 연구는 인터넷 기반의 실시간 모니터링 시스템인 필드박스를 개발하고 이로부터 수집한 파랑자료, 선형파이론과 국내 기상청과 NASA의 기상자료 등을 이용하여 우리나라에서 발생하는 너울의 특성과 원인을 분석하였다. 2004년부터 2006년 동안 광안타워에서 관측된 자료를 이용하여 너울의 빈도와 총발생시간을 월별로 통계 분석하였다. 따라서 우리나라의 분기별 너울 발생의 특징을 규명할 수 있었으며 국내에 발생하는 너울의 원인과 위치적 특징 등을 도출하였다.

본 연구에서는 머드유동층의 연행부상률 산정을 목적으로 국내 최초로 환형수조를 이용하여 고령토 머드유동층에 대한 연행부상 실험이 수행되었다. 고령토로 제작된 머드유동층의 초기농도를 변화시키면서 총 6회의 연행부상 실험이 수행되었으며, 머드유동층의 연행부상률이 정량적으로 산정되었다. 본 연구결과에 따르면, 머드유동층의 부상률과 반대방향으로 작용하는 토사의 침강의 영향으로 인하여, 경계면에서 난류 운동에너지의 부가 손실이 유발되고, 결과적으로 리차드슨 수가 높은 경우에 염수 성층 구조일 때 보다 상당히 감소된 부상률이 초래되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 과거 타 연구결과와의 비교 검토를 통하여 본 연구에서 사용된 환형수조는 성능 상에 문제가 없음이 간접적으로 확인되었으며, 연행부상 실험 방법 및 실험 결과의 타당성이 입증되었다.

A sequential extraction technique was used to study sediment phosphorus speciation and its relative importance in the intertidal flat of Keunso Bay during summer and winter for a better understanding of the phosphorus cycle and bioavailability in intertidal sediments. Loosely sorbed P contents were the lowest among the five P-pools and showed little seasonal or spatial variation. Although Fe-bound P contents were almost constant in winter, they decreased rapidly with sediment depth in summer. The dissolution of Fe oxides, used as an oxidant for the anaerobic respiration, ascribed the rapid decrease of Fe-bound P in summer. Al-bound P contents displayed little seasonal variation, but showed a large spatial variation, with higher values in the upper intertidal flat. Comprising about 50% of total P, Ca-bound P contents were the highest among the five P-pools. Ca-bound P contents were higher in winter than summer, but did not exhibit a clear spatial variation. Organic P contents were higher in summer than winter, which was associated with higher primary production and clam biomass in summer. Organic P contents were higher in the lower intertidal flat than the upper intertidal flat. In Keunso Bay, bioavailable P contents of the intertidal flat comprising about one third of total P ranged from 2.41 to 5.09 ${\mu}molg^{-1}$ in summer and 3.82 to 5.29 ${\mu}molg^{-1}$ in winter. The bioavailability of P contents was higher in the lower intertidal flat than the upper intertidal flat, which was attributed to the large clam production in the lower intertidal flat.

Due to global climate change, Korea is experiencing flooding and drought severely. It is hard to manage water resources because intensive precipitation during short periods and drought are commonly occurred in Korea, recently. Severe drought occurred in 2015 and 2017 in the islands, and coastal and inland areas in Korea, and the citizens experienced decreased water supply and emergency water service by using bottled water. Therefore, the Korean government provided additional governmental funds such as the grant of drought disaster. In this study, we tried to calculate the cost of water for drought response based on the cost of tap water for the regional local governments in Korea and the grant of drought disaster by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in Korea, etc. The estimated costs of water for drought responses in coastal and inland areas which have a chance to apply alternative water sources such as brackish or seawater desalination and water reuse in Korea were higher than in other areas in Korea. Additionally, as the novel approach of drought response, the 300 ㎥/day-scale desalination vessel was suggested to provide desalinated water for the islands in Korea. The estimated expenses of water supply for the target island areas (Sinan-gun and Jindo-gun) by the desalination vessel was lower than those by emergency water service by using bottled water.

해양현상을 이해하기 위한 관측분야의 노력 중에서 해류 정보의 생산은 가장 어려운 작업 중의 하나이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 대안으로서 연속 화상 자료로부터 해류벡터를 추정하려는 많은 연구들이 진행 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 주변의 SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) chlorophyll-a 해색 자료와 AVHRR/SST 를 이용하여 연속 화상 사이의 유사한 형태를 추적하는 최대상 관계수법을 사용한 표층 유속 벡터의 추정을 시도하였다. 한국의 남해역에서 적용한 유속 벡터 결과는 해면 고도계를 이용한 지형류, ADCP 관측 결과와 비교하여 유속은 약 15% 정도 작고, 유향은 약 $36^{\circ}$의 차이로 근접하여 기존 연구 결과에 비해 양호하게 나타났다. 이는 향후 GOCI 자료의 응용적 측면에서 매우 고무적이다.

Ocean Research Stations (ORSs) is the ocean platform type observation towers and measured oceanic, atmospheric and environmental data. These station located on the offshore area far from the coast, so they can produce the data without land effect. This study focused to improve the wave data quality of ORS station. The wave observations at ORSs are used by the C-band (5.8 GHz, 5.17 cm) MIROS Wave and Current Radar (MWR). MWR is convenient to maintenance and produce reliability wave data under bad weather conditions. MWR measured significant wave height, peak wave period, peak wave direction and 2D wave spectrum, so it's can provide wave information for researchers and engineers. In order to improve the reliability of MWR wave data, Datawell Waverider Buoy was installed near the one ORS (Socheoncho station) during 7 months and validate the wave data of MWR. This study found that the wave radar tend to be overestimate the low wave height under wind condition. Firstly, this study carried out the wave Quality Control (QC) using wind data, however the quality of wave data was limited. So, this study applied the four filters (Correlation Check, Direction Filter, Reduce White Noise and Phillips Check) of MWR operating software and find that the filters effectively improve the wave data quality. After applying 3 effective filters in combination, the RMSE of significant wave height decreased from 0.81m to 0.23m, by 0.58m and Correlation increased from 0.66 to 0.96, by 0.32, so the reliability of MWR significant wave height was significantly improved.

소파블록은 제체의 보호와 파랑에너지 소산을 목적으로 사용되므로 피복된 블록의 안정성을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 소파블록의 안정성은 주로 수리모형실험으로부터 산정되는 안정계수를 통해 평가되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 형태의 소파블록인 K-블록을 활용하여 블록의 맞물림 효과를 포함한 안정성 평가를 위해 인발력에 기반한 새로운 안정성 실험방법을 제시하였다. 소파블록의 인발 실험은 일정 경사면 소파블록을 설치하고 수직 및 수평 방향으로 인장력을 작용시켜 사면 상의 피복층으로부터 블록이 분리되는데 필요한 힘을 직접 계측하는 방법이다. 제안된 실험방법은 소파블록의 맞물림 효과를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 맞물림 영향에 의한 단층 피복블록(K-블록)의 높은 안정성을 검증하였다.
