The Korean Government is trying to construct an ocean research station in Dokdo's water. The station would be the third ocean research station following the Ieodo station and the Gageocho station. Although the new station would served as a scientific research base for peaceful and academic purposes, the construction of the station will almost certainly lead to a diplomatic dispute between Japan and Korea in the near future due to the disputed ownership of the island. In light of the diplomatic protests against the construction of the Ieodo station by the Chinese Government, various domestic and international legal issues which could be raised regarding the construction of the Dokdo station need to be reviewed. Therefore, this article reviews the international legal status of the station and the rights and duties pertaining to its construction, investigates the domestic legal grounds relating to the construction and operation of the marine scientific installation, evaluates the international legal impacts of the construction on the expansion of maritime jurisdiction, the effective control on Dokdo and the negotiations on maritime boundary delimitation, and finally draws conclusions on the future activities of the Korean Government for the construction and operation of the Dokdo Ocean Research Station.

R-Mode is terrestrial based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) backup radio navigation technology which used existing maritime information service infrastructure. It has advantages on reduce the cost and reutilize the frequency resource. In this paper, we propose a method to develop a medium-frequency (MF) band R-Mode transmitting station by utilizing the currently operating Differential GNSS (DGNSS) reference station infrastructure. To this end, the considerations for co-operating the DGNSS reference station and the MF R-Mode transmitting station are analyzed. In this process, we also analyze what is necessary to configure the communication system as a navigation system for range measurement. Based on the analysis result, MF R-Mode transmitting station system is designed and architecture is proposed. The developed system is installed in the field, and the performance evaluation results is presented.

이어도에 건설된 다목적 해양과학기지에서는 주위 대류 및 해류의 데이터 수집을 통해 기상, 어장예보 등의 기초 자료를 제공하는 것을 한 가지 목적으로 한다. 그런데 이어도 기지 구조물에 의한 해수 유동의 변화는 과학기지의 관측 데이터에 영향을 주어 정확한 자료 수집을 어렵게 하므로, 이어도 기지 구조물이 주위 유동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 유동 정보 관측을 평가/보정하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위한 기초연구로, 해류와 구조물 사이의 상호 작용을 모사 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 연구, 적용방법을 논의한다. 그 결과, 3차원 전산유체역학을 이용한 수치해석을 통해 이어도 기지 구조물 및 수중암초가 주위 유동에 미치는 영향을 연구하고 정확한 데이터 측정방법을 제안한다.

The definition of onset date of Changma is revisited in this study using a quality controlled Ieodo ocean research station data. The Ieodo station has great importance in terms of its southwest location from Korean Peninsula and, hence, makes it possible to predict Changma period in advance with less impact of continents. The onset date of Changma using the Ieodo station data is defined by the time that meridional wind direction changes and maintains from northerly to southerly, and then the zonal wind changes from easterly to westerly after first June. This definition comes from a recognition that the establishment and movement of the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) cause Changma through southwesterly flow. The onset data of Changma has been determined by large-scale dynamic-thermodynamic characteristics or various meteorological station data. However, even the definition based on circulation data at the Ieodo station has a potential for the improved prediction skill of the onset date of Changma. The differences between before and after Changma, defined as Ieodo station data, are also found in synoptic chart. The convective instability and conspicuous circulations, corresponding low-level southwesterly flow related to WNPSH and strong upper-level zonal wind, are represented during Changma.

To assess the station-keeping performance of floating structures in the Arctic region, the ice load should be considered along with other environmental loads induced by waves, wind, and currents. However, present methods for performance evaluation in the time domain are not effective in terms of time and cost. An ice load generation module is proposed based on the experimental data measured at the KRISO ice model basin. The developed module was applied to a time domain simulation. Using the results of a captive model test conducted in multiple directions, the statistical characteristics of ice loads were analyzed and processed so that an ice load corresponding to an arbitrary angle of the structure could be generated. The developed module is connected to commercial dynamic analysis software (OrcaFlex) as an external force input. Station-keeping simulation in the time domain was conducted for the same floating structure used in the model test. The mooring system was modeled and included to reflect the designed operation scenario. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed ice generation module and its application to station-keeping performance evaluation. Considering the generated ice load, the designed structure can maintain a heading angle relative to ice up to 4°. Station-keeping performance is enhanced as the heading angle conforms to the drift direction. It is expected that the developed module will be used as a platform to verify station-keeping algorithms for Arctic floating structures with a dynamic positioning system.

미래 항만내 항법에서 요구하는 sub-meter 수준의 위치정확도를 만족하기 위해 DGPS와 같은 위성전파항법 보강시스템의 활용이 필요하다. 일반적으로 해양에서 사용하는 DGPS 기준국용 수신기는 RSIM Ver. 1.1에서 제시한 DGPS 기준국용 수신기 성능 요구사항을 만족해야 하고, 이에 대한 성능검증이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 해양에서 사용하는 DGPS 기준국용 수신기의 성능검증방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 DGPS 기준국용 수신기 성능검증 방법으로 실시한 상용 DGPS 기준국용 수신기의 성능검증 실험을 통하여 제안한 성능검증 방법을 검증하였다.

이어도 종합해양과학기지에 설치된 해양환경모니터링시스템을 이용하여 얻은 수온과 염분 자료를 이용하여 이어도 기지주변의 해수 특성과 양자강에서 유출되는 저염분수의 특징, 태풍에 의한 해수 성질 변화를 파악하였다. 수온은 정확도가 매우 높은 반면, 염분자료의 정확도와 안정도는 비교적 낮았다. 여름철 표층에서 강하게 나타나는 수온과 염분의 일변화는 태양일사량의 변화 이외에도 조석에 의한 수층의 수직운동에 의해서 발생하였다. 계절변화는 수온자료에서만 발견되었다. 염분의 가장 큰 변화 원인은 양자강에서 유입되는 담수로 약 $3{\sim}4$일 사이에 최대 8 psu 정도의 변화를 일으킨다. 2003년 8월과 2004년 8월 제주도 남서부 해역에서 저염분수가 발견되기 약 10일 전에 이어도 기지에서도 저염분수가 관측되었으나, 2005년 7월에는 이어도 기지에서만 저염분수가 관측되었다. 즉, 이어도 기지를 통과한 저염분수가 반드시 제주도 근해까지 확장하지는 않는다. 2003년 9월과 2004년 8월에 강력한 태풍이 이어도 기지 근처를 지나갔는데, 태풍에 의한 영향은 약 $3{\sim}4$일 간 지속되었다.

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.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station(IORS) is an integrated meteorological and oceanographic observation base which was constructed on the Ieodo underwater rock located at a distance of about 150 km to the south-west of the Mara-do, the southernmost island in Korea. The underwater ambient noise level observed at the IORS was similar to the results of the shallow water surrounding the Korean Peninsula (Choi et al. 2003) and was higher than that of deep ocean (Wenz 1962). The wind dependence of ambient noise was dominant at frequencies of a few kHz. The surface current dependence of ambient noise showed good correlation with the ambient noise in the frequency of 10 kHz. Especially, the shrimp sound was estimated through investigations of waveform and spectrum and its main acoustic energy was about 40 dB larger than ambient noise level at 5 kHz.
