  • 위성기반 적조 탐지 알고리즘들은 특정 해역, 적조 종을 중심으로 개발되어 왔다. 하지만 한반도 주변해역의 빠르고 정확한 적조 감시를 위해서는 한반도 주변의 전 발생 해역과 다양한 적조 종을 대상으로 한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 주변해역을 대상으로 GOCI 영상을 활용하여 적조 영역의 스펙트럼 특성과 위성기반 적조 탐지 알고리즘의 적합성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 적조 종들의 클로로필 함량과 적조가 출현하는 해역의 탁도에 따라서 스펙트럼 특성이 달라졌다. 또한 기존 적조 탐지 알고리즘을 GOCI 영상에 적용하였으며, 이를 통해 기존 임계값으로는 적조 영역 추출에 한계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이를 개선하기 위해 적조 종들을 클로로필 함량의 차이에 따라 두 그룹으로 나누어 적조 감시 체계를 제시하였다. 총 5 단계를 거쳐 적조 영역과 비적조 영역을 구분하였으며, 적조 속보를 기준으로 했을 경우 최종 추출된 적조영역이 기존 알고리즘으로 추출된 영역에 비해 적절한 결과를 나타냈다. 이러한 적조 감시 체계를 활용한다면 한반도 주변의 모든 해역과 다양한 적조 종에 대한 빠르고 정확한 감시로 인해 효율적인 적조 감시가 가능할 것이다.

  • The distribution of tidal current and tidal induced residual current, topographical eddies and tidal residual circulation in the waters surrounding the Geumo Island-An Island channel were identified through numerical model experiments and vorticity balance analysis. Tidal current flows southwest at flood and northeast at ebb along the channel. The maximum flow velocity was about 100-150 cm/s in neap and spring tide. During the flood current in the neap tide, clockwise small eddies were formed in the waters west of Sobu Island and southwest of Daebu Island, and a more grown eddy was formed in the southern waters of Geumo Island in the spring tide. A small eddy that existed in the western waters of Chosam Island during the ebb in neap tide appeared to be a more grown topographical eddy in the northeastern waters of Chosam Island in spring tide. Tidal ellipses were generally reciprocating and were almost straight in the channel. These topographical eddies are made of vorticity caused by coastal friction when tidal flow passes through the channel. They gradually grow in size as they are transported and accumulated at the end of the channel. When the current becomes stronger, the topographic eddies move, settle, spread to the outer sea and grow as a counterclockwise or clockwise tidal residual circulation depending on the surrounding terrain. In the waters surrounding the channel, there were counterclockwise small tidal residual circulations in the central part of the channel, clockwise from the northeast end of the channel to northwest inner bay of An Island, and clockwise and counterclockwise between Daebu Island and An Island. The circulation flow rate was up to 20-30 cm/s. In the future, it is necessary to conduct an experimental study to understand the growth process of the tidal residual circulation in more detail due to the convergence and divergence of seawater around the channel.

  • Depth profiles of organic carbon (C), biogenic silica (Si), and inorganic phosphorus (P) in Maxwell bay sediments were determined to investigate paleoclimatic changes during Holocene. Organic C and biogenic Si contents generally show a down-core decrease trend, which appears to be mostly controlled by their vertical fluxes through productivity in the surface waters, but it is uncertain that inorganic P contents are directly influenced by productivity changes with time. Before 4000 yr B.p. marine productivity seemed to be almost zero because ice permanently covered the surface waters of the study area. As the climate started to become relatively warm at 4000 yr B.p., ice was sporadically melted in the surface waters and thereby marine productivity gradually increased until 1500 yr B.p. For the last 1500 year, marine productivity must be high enough to overcome the dilution by high terrigenous sedimentation, thus that period was the warmest during the last 6000 year.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the amount of available wave power and its characteristics related to the development of apractical system for ocean wave energy conversion in Korean coastal waters. The analysis method of wave power was established through comparison between theory and numerical simulation of deep sea wave by Inverse Fourier Transform with random phase method. Based on the results of comparison, wave power was estimated by use of data set from observed offshore and coastal waves and hindasted deep sea waves around the Korean peninsula. Annual mean wave power is estimated as about 1.8 ~ 7.0 kW for every metre of wave frontage at East sea, 1.5~5.3 kW at South sea and 1.0 ~ 4.1 kW at West sea, respectively. Mean wave power along deep sea front of coastal waters of Korea amounts to about 4.7 GW. Regional distribution and seasonal variation of wave power were discussed to develop practical utilization system of wave power of not so high grade of available wave power.

  • The European Common Barnacle Balanus perforatus Brugiere (Crustacea, Cirripedia) has been introduced into the east coast of Korea, presumably via the ballast water of ships. The species has since been spreading along both the northern and southern coast to the east, most likely due to alongshore currents. We predicted the potential range expansion of Balanus perforatus in Korean waters using Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction (GARP), an environmental niche modeling technique. The results show that much of the southern coastal waters of Korea could be colonized by the spread of the nonindigenous species, but that the west coast is unlikely to be invaded. More sampling on the west coast would enhance the predictability of the model. To our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind for predicting marine nonindigenous species in Korean waters using GARP modeling.

  • The morphometry and distribution of the unarmoured dinoflagellates Brachidinium capitatum F.J.R. Taylor, Asterodinium gracile Sournia, Microceratium orstomii Sournia and the toxic species Karenia papilionacea Haywood et Steidinger have been investigated in open waters of the SE Pacific Ocean. The genus Microceratium Sournia is recorded for the first time since the initial description. These taxa showed a high morphological similarity and they may correspond to life stages of a highly versatile single species that is able to project body extensions. Karenia papilionacea showed the higher abundance in the surface waters of the more productive areas (the Marquesas Archipelago and the Perú-Chile Current). Brachidinium capitatum and K. papilionacea often co-occurred, predominating B. capitatum in offshore surface waters. Asterodinium gracile was recorded at the bottom of the euphotic zone (down to 210 m depth), with a shallower distribution in more productive areas. Intermediate specimens of Asterodinium-Brachidinium-Karenia, with variable disposition and size of the body extensions were illustrated.

  • The present study reports mysids on sandy beaches along the eastern coast of Korea. Samples were collected with a dip net or a sled net in sandy shores in April 1995 and November 2006. 9 species representing five genera were identified from the present study. Of these, the genus Nipponomysis including N. lingvura, N. ornata, and N. imparis, and Acanthomysis nakazatoi were newly recorded from the Korean waters. Morphological descriptions and taxonomic key to species were given. The present study reports that 45 species belonging to 15 genera from the Korean waters have been recorded.

  • The aim of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of the signal of local ice load acting on side shell in the bow part due to ice broken by an icebreaker in ice-covered waters. The Korean icebreaking research vessel "ARAON" voyaged to the Arctic Ocean during the summer of 2010, and measurements of local ice load were carried out using several strain gauges. In this study, the time history of measured signals was analyzed and the characteristic values including rising time and half-decaying time were presented using non-dimensional parameters.

  • The order Prorocentales currently includes two genera Prorocentrum Ehrenberg and Mesoporos Lillick. The Prorocentrum genus is a predominant group throughout the year found in Korean waters. To date, the Prorocentrum genus includes 31 species and the Mesoporos genus has only one species in Korean waters. In this study, we identified one Mesoporos species and three Prorocentrum species around a coast of Jeju Island, and described them as newly recorded species in Korean waters.

  • 2000년 7월 5일 한국 동남연안을 촬영한 SAR 영상에서 해안을 따라 나타난 낮은 후방산란 해역의 원인을 고찰 하였다. 이 해역은 여름철에 자주 표층 냉수가 관측되는 해역으로 인접한 시기의 SST 영상과 SeaWiFS 영상에서도 거의 동일한 해역에서 각각 낮은 표층 수온과 높은 농도의 엽록소 a의 분포를 보였다. 복수의 위성 센서 영상을 공동으로 활용한 결과 영양염이 풍부한 저층 냉수가 표층으로 용승 하여 식물플랑크톤을 비롯한 생물 활동을 증가시켰을 가능성을 보여주고 있으며, 높은 밀도의 생물 활동으로 인한 물질들이 생성한 표층 유막으로 인하여 SAR 영상에서 낮은 후방산란을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.
