The impact of sound speed variability in the sea is the very important on acoustic propagation for the underwater acoustic systems. Understanding of the temporal and spatial variability of ocean sound speed in the sea around the Ieodo were obtained using oceanographic data (temperature, salinity). from the Korea Oceanographic Data Center, collected by season for 17 years. The vertical distributions of sound speed are mainly related to seasonal variations and various current such as Chinese coastal water, Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW), Kuroshio source water. The standard deviations show that great variations of sound speed exist in the upper layer and observation station between 16 and 18. In order to quantitatively explain the reason for sound speed variations, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis was performed on sound speed data at the Line 316 covering 68 cruises between 2002 and 2018. Three main modes of EOFs respectively revealed 55, 29, and 5% the total variance of sound speed. The first mode of the EOFs was associated with influence of surface heating. The second EOFs pattern shows that contributions of YSCW and surface heating. The first and second modes had seasonal and inter-annul variations.

북서태평양에서 발생하는 열대 저기압의 이동경로에 대한 변화패턴을 1951-2007년의 열대 저기압 경로 자료에 경험적 직교함수(Empirical Orthogonal Function, EOF)법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 북서태평양을 $5^{\circ}\times5^{\circ}$의 격자간격으로 나뉘어 연별 열대 저기압의 이동빈도를 각 격자에서의 변수로 정의하였다. 첫번째 모드는 동서성분(동경125도 기준)을, 두번째 모드는 남북성분(필리핀 동쪽해상에서 남지나해를 가로지르는 축 중심)을, 그리고 세번째 모드는 대각성분(타이완 동쪽 해상을 중심으로 동북방향과 동남방향을 축으로 하는)으로 나누어짐을 알 수 있었다. 첫번째와 두번째 모드의 주성분 시계열에서 각각 1997년과 1991년 부근을 기점으로 해서 주성분들의 부호가 교차되는 데, 이는 1990년대 이전 약 20년 동안에 남중국해 부근지역에서의 열대 저기압 이동 빈도가 동아시아 중위도 지역에서는 최근 20년 동안에 더 높았던 것과 관련성이 있는 것으로 보였다. 열대 저기압 발생의 경우, 첫번째와 두번째 모드에서 고유벡터 값이 음이고 진로가 북서태평양으로 주로 이동했던 열대 저기압은 고유벡터가 양의 값을 보였던 열대 저기압보다 더 동쪽에서 발생했던 것으로 나타났다. 이동특성에 있어 첫번째 모드는 바이칼호 남쪽에서 형성되는 기압 패턴에, 두번째 모드는 $30^{\circ}N$ 부근을 중심으로 남과 북 사이에 형성된 진동패턴에, 세번째 모드는 일본 부근에 위치한 기압패턴에 의해 열대 저기압의 이동경향이 많은 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 해수면 온도 아노말리 값과 상관분석결과 첫번째 모드는 $Ni\tilde{n}o$-3.4 지수와 높은 음의 상관관계를 보여 ENSO의 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

엘니뇨현상과 관련된 해양 아표층 변동성을 조사하기 위해 1980년부터 2004년까지의 적도 해역의 20도 등온선 깊이(Z20)와 난수질량(WWV) 자료를 분석하였다. 주성분 분석, 합성 분석 및 교차상관 분석 결과, 아표층 시계열 자료는 Nino3.4 SST와 유의미한 시간 지연을 가지고 강한 상관성을 보였다. 이 결과는 아표층 해양 변수가 엘니뇨현상에 유용한 예측 인자임을 시사한다. 분석된 결과를 근거로 1996년부터 2004년까지 Nino3.4 SST를 예측하기 위해 신경망 예측 모델을 구성하였다. 해상풍을 입력 자료로 사용하였을 경우 보다 WWV를 적용하였을 때 3개월 이하의 단기 예측을 제외하고 모든 예측 시간에서 더 우수한 예측력을 보였으며, 5-8개월의 예측에 있어서는 기존의 여러 통계 모델 결과보다 예측 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Anoxic sediments collected from Shiwha-ho area were used to find the relationship between the heavy-metal, organic content and anaerobic respiration bacteria by most probable number (MPN) method. Analysis of the sediments showed that COD content was higher in the sediments collected from Ansan-cheon and Shiwha-ho than those collected from sea area nearby. Particularly noticeable was the fact that heavy metal concentration was much higher in the sediments of Shiwha-ho area contaminated by heavy-metal, although they were rich in electron donor and electron acceptor for Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using lactate as an electron donor was in the range of 1.1$\times$106-4.6$\times$107MPNs/ml in the sediments collected from the sea-side of the lake, which were lower in heavy-methal concentration and higher in Fe-Mn content than those from other region. The number of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using acetate as an electron donor was in the rang eof 4.3$\times$102-8.1$\times$105MPNs/ml in the same sediments. Chromate-reducing bacteria were more populated(4.6$\times$104-8.1$\times$105MPNs/ml) in the sediments contaminated by heavy metals. The number of sulfate-reducing bacteria wee counted in the sediments collected from the more contaminate inner-side than those from the sea-side of the lake.

This study examines the changes of an interdecadal circulation over the Asian continent to find cause of the surface warming in Siberia from 1958 to 2004. According to our study, there is a coherency between a long-term change of sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean and the rapid increase of air temperature in Siberia since 1976/1977. In this study, we suggest that mean wind field changes induced by the positive sea surface temperature anomalies of the Indian Ocean since 1976/1977 are caused of inter-decadal variations in a large-scale circulation over the Asian continent. It also indicates that the inter-decadal circulation over the Asian continent is accompanied with warm southerly winds near surface, which have significantly contributed to the increase of surface temperature in Siberia. These southerly winds have been one of the most dominant interdecadal variations over the Asian continent since 1976/1977. In addition, we investigated the long-term trend mode of 850 hPa geopotential height data over the Asian continent from the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis for 1958-2004. In result, we found that there was an anomalously high pressure pattern over the Asian continent, it is called 'the Asian High mode'. It is thus suggested that the Asian High mode is another response of interdecadal changes of large-scale circulations over the Asian continent.

Recently, more attention has been paid to the geomorphological changes in the Nakdong River Estuary, because those changes are caused by artificial activities including weirs, reclamation and construction. In order to analyze quantitatively the recent geomorphological variability in the Nakdong River Estuary, we surveyed the depth and elevation of submarine topography near Jinwoodo and Sinjado from March 2007 to February 2012. A statistical method (based on Digital Shoreline Analysis System) and an Empirical Orthogonal Functions method were used to evaluate the morphological changes. According to the statistical variables (DCE, NDC, EPR, LRR), the highest amount and rate of accumulation were recorded around the Gadeokdo whereas the greatest amount of erosion appeared around the coast off the eastern part of Sinjado. In particular, a dynamic variation of morphology was clearly observed in the vicinity of the sub-tidal channel located between Jinwoodo and Sinjado, which seems to be attributable to channel migration. As a result of the EOF method, the first mode (48.7%) is most closely related to the pattern of morphological variability that might be associated with the westerly movement of sediment by longshore current. The spatial variability of the second mode (16.6%) was high in the shoreface of Sinjado, showing a 4-year periodicity of temporal variability. The strong correlation (coefficient 0.73) between the time coefficient and suspended sediment discharge from Nakdong River emphasizes the role of sediment discharge to deposition in this area. The spatial variability of the third mode (11.3%) was distributed mainly around the coast off the eastern part of Sinjado, which is related to the movement of the coastline of Sinjado. Based on the last 5 year's data, our results suggest that the study area is characterized on the whole by a depositional pattern, but the extent of sedimentation is different locally.

In this study, climate over Korea based on the Historical scenario induced by HadGEM2-AO is simulated by WRF. For this purpose, a system that can be used be for numerical integration over the Far East Asian area of the center of the Korean Peninsula with 12.5 km-horizontal resolution was set-up at "Haebit", the early portion of KMA Supercomputer Unit-3. Using the system, the downscaling experiments were conducted for the period 1979-2010. The simulated results of HadGEM2-AO and WRF are presented in terms of 2 m-temperature and precipitation during boreal summer and winter of Historical for the period 1981~2005, compared with observation. As for the mean 2 m-temperature, the general patterns of HadGEM2-AO and WRF are similar with observation although WRF showed lower values than observation due to the systematic bias. WRF reproduced a feature of the terrain-following characteristics reasonably well owing to the increased horizontal resolution. Both of the models simulated the observed precipitation pattern for DJF than JJA reasonably, while the rainfall over the Korean Peninsula in JJA is less than observation. HadGEM2-AO in DJF 2 m-temperature and JJA precipitation has warm and dry biases over the Korean Peninsula, respectively. WRF showed cold bias over JJA 2 m-temperature and wet bias over DJF precipitation. The larger bias in WRF was attributed to the addition of HadGEM2-AO's bias to WRF's systematic bias. Spatial correlation analysis revealed that HadGEM2-AO and WRF had above 0.8 correlation coefficients except for JJA precipitation. In the EOF analysis, both models results explained basically same phase changes and variation as observation. Despite the difference in mean and bias fields for both models, the variabilities of the two models were almost similar with observation in many respects, implying that the downscaled results can be effectively used for the study of regional climate around the Korean Peninsula.

대한 해협 횡단면 상의 수온, 염분 및 해류의 구조를 이해하기 위하여 1994년 5월 2일부터 20일 까지 현장 조사를 수행하였다. 연구선 탐양호를 이용하여 상세한 CTD 수 직 profile과 ADCP 측정 기록을 얻었으며 두 개의 시간차(15일과 25시간)에 대한 평균 장과 변동장을 분석하였다. 대한 해협 중앙부에는 서로 다른 두 개의 수기 즉 동측의 고온 고염수와 서측의 저온저염수가 서로 인접하면서 대단히 뚜렷한 연안 전선을 형성 하고 있다. 이 고운 고염 수괴가 약 보름에 걸쳐서 서진하면서 수온 염분장을 크게 변 화 시키고 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 중층에서는 수시간대의 짧은 주기로서도 수 온과 염분이 변화하고 있었으며, 이 현상은 EOF분석에서 제 1고유 모드로 나타나며 그 것은 50%이상의 전체 분산을 점하고 있다. 대한 해협에서의 흐름은 조류에 의하면 심 하게 영향을 받고 있으며 해협 중앙부에서 사리와 조금 때 각각 최대 80-90 및 60-70 cm/s의 크기를 보여 준다. 강한 남향의 조류에 의해 때에 따라서는 북향하는 대마 난 류의 존재가 완전히 가려 보이지 않기도 하였다. 25시간 연속 해류 관측 결과의 조화 분석 결과사리와 조금 때 평균, 단일주조류 및 일일주조류의 크기가 서로 비슷함을 알 수 있었다. 대한 해협 서수도를 통과하는 용접수송량은 조금 때 2.1 사리 때에 3.4 Sv 으로 추정되었다.
