This study was conducted to get best fitting frequency distribution for the annual run- off and to simulate long series of annual flows by single-season first order Markov Model with comparison of statistical parameters which were derived from observed and synthetic flows at four watersheds in Seom Jin and Yeong San river systems. The results summarized through this study are as follows. 1. Hydrologic persistence of observed flows was acknowledged by the correlogram analysis. 2. A normal distribution of the annual runoff for the applied watersheds was confirmed as the best one among others by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. 3. Statistical parameters were calculated from synthetic flows simulated by normal dis- tribution. In was confirmed that mean and standard deviation of simulated flows are much closer to those of observed data than except coefficient of skewness. 4. Hydrologic persistence between observed flows and synthetic flows simulated was also confirmed by the correlogram analysis. 5. It is to be desired that generation technique of synthetic flow in this study would be compared with other simulation techniques for the objective time series.

토지이용의 변화는 수문순환의 변화를 초래한다. 이는 토지이용에 따른 지표 특성의 변화로 열수지가 변화함으로써 미규모 및 중규모 기상현상에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 최근 4대강 살리기 사업 등의 대규모 토목사업으로 인해 넓은 면적의 지표면 상태가 변화하고 이에 따른 수문순환 변화에 대한 관심과 함께 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한 최근 수문학 분야에서의 가장 큰 관심은 최신 기법을 적용한 수문분석 및 정확한 수문인자를 추출하고자 하는 것으로 원격탐사나 GIS 기법을 이용할 경우 유역의 물리적인 요소를 고려할 수 있으며 넓은 지역에 대한 정보를 공간적으로 분석할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 길이 103.5km, 유역면적 $1,478km^2$, 한강의 제 1지류인 섬강유역을 대상으로 위성 영상을 이용하여 토지피복에 따른 열수지 변화 특성을 모니터링 하였다. 대상지역의 토지피복은 Landsat TM 위성영상을 이용하여 수역, 도심지, 나지, 초지, 산림, 농경지, 구름 및 그림자 등으로 분류하였으며, 위성영상을 열수지 모델에 적용하여 인자별 격자기반의 공간분포도를 추출하였다. 또한 이를 이용하여 토지피복 종류에 따른 유역내 열환경 특성을 정량적으로 파악하고 열환경 관점에서 유리한 토지피복 조성을 도출하고자 한다.

불투수층은 자연적인 침투를 허용하지 않는 인위적인 토지피복상태로 도시화율 추정 및 유역의 환경변화 정도를 분석하기 위한 척도로 사용되어 왔다. 특히, 수문학적 관점에서 불투수층은 단기 유출현상에 큰 영향을 끼치는 요소로 불투수율이 증가할수록 침투량이 감소하여 첨두유출량은 증가하고 도달시간은 짧아진다. 최근에는 급속한 도시화로 인해 불투수층의 영향이 더욱 커짐에 따라 불투수율의 추정에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 현재까지 위성영상을 이용한 불투수층의 추정은 고해상도 영상을 이용하여 피복분류를 수행하였다. 즉, 분류된 토지피복에 근거하여 불투수율을 산술적으로 계산하거나 분광혼합기법 및 회귀 트리기법 등 다양한 방법에 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Sub-pixel 분류기법을 위성영상에 적용하여 섬강유역의 불투수율을 추정하고자 한다. Sub-pixel 분류는 기존 분류기법들이 다양한 토지피복이 혼합된 화소에 대해서도 가장 비중이 높은 토지피복 하나로 분류하던 것을 개선한 방법으로 fuzzy 이론을 적용하여 최소 20% 이상의 비율을 점유하는 항목 모두를 구분하여 분류하는 기법이다. 이를 위해 섬강유역의 Landsat TM 영상을 수집하고 환경부의 토지피복도와 지질도를 참조하여 트레이닝 자료를 수집하였다. 또한 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 구름은 전처리를 통하여 제거하고 수집된 트레이닝 자료에 Sub-pixel 분류기법을 적용하여 섬강유역의 불투수율을 공간분포도로 작성하였다.

Surface particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration estimated from Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index (MNDCI) algorithm using SeaWiFS data is used to determine spatial and temporal variations of the Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) in the East China Sea. 10-year monthly POC concentrations (1997-2007) show clearly seasonal variations. Inter-annual variation of POC in whole and three different areas separated by standard deviation is not linearly correlated with the Changjiang River discharge that has decreased after 1998. To determine more detailed spatial and temporal POC variations, we used empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis in summer (Jun.-Sep.) from 2000 to 2007. First mode is spatially and temporally correlated with the area influenced by the Changjiang River discharge. Second mode is temporally less sensitive with the Changjiang River discharge but spatially correlated with north-south patterns. Relatively higher POC variations during 2000 and 2003 were shown in the southern East China Sea. These patterns during 2004 and 2007 moved to the northern East China Sea. This phenomenon is better related to spatial variations of wind-direction than the amount of Changjiang River discharge, which is verified from in-situ measurement.

Four in situ incubation experiments were conducted in May, August and November 2009, as well as February 2010 to determine the seasonal primary productivity and the community structure of phytoplankton at the Seomjin estuary. The primary production of phytoplankton ranged from 9 to 3560 mgC $m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$. Primary productivity was the highest in the summer season (August), which was influenced by improved optical and temperature conditions of the water, as well as the supply of nutrients derived from its surrounding watershed. Particularly, the upper station (SJ-1, SJ-2) of Seom-jin estuary showed a higher productivity, as a result of inflow of input nutrients originated from the terrestrial source. The fucoxanthin, as an index pigment of diatoms showed the highest concentration (0.74~9.51 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) at all stations, occupying 30~80% to total Chl a concentrations. The phytoplankton species composition determination, using a microscope showed similar results to the pigment analysis, which indicated diatom Skeletonema costatum, as the dominant species. The primary productivity in Seom-jin estuary indicates temporally and spatially large variation, according to different environmental conditions. Also, Skeletonema costatum has euryhaline features with relatively higher contribution.

The flood pulse in streams enhances the biodiversity and ecosystem services of the channel-floodplain ecosystems by exchanging water, nutrients, sediments and organisms. However, the lateral connectivity in most streams of Korea has been disrupted by the levee constructions for the purpose of flood control and land use of floodplains. To compare the characteristics of floodplain vegetation according to existence of lateral connectivity in streams, we investigated the geomorphological and soil environmental factors and structures and distribution of vegetation in the floodplains connected and isolated by levee to the channel in Cheongmi Stream, Seom River, Hwangguji Stream, Mangyeong River, Gomakwon Stream, and Boseong River, Korea. In comparison of soil environments, moisture and clay contents were higher in the isolated floodplain than in the connected floodplain. According to the result of principal component analysis (PCA) using environmental data, the environments of the connected floodplain and the isolated floodplain were separated by soil moisture contents, soil texture and distribution altitude of the vegetation. The results of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) using vegetation data showed that the isolated floodplain was dominated by the hydropythic communities of diverse life form and that the connected floodplain was dominated by the hygrophytic communities that endure disturbance. In conclusion, it is thought that the vegetation of the floodplain changed to the lentic wetland vegetation dominated by diverse hydrophytes as the floodplain was isolated from the channel by artificial levees.

To classify the relationship between riparian vegetation type and bird habitat, we studied the vegetation and avian species in the three streams(Anyang Stream, Gap Stream, Seom River), located in middle province. Five different vegetation types - Woodland type, Shrub type, Tall and wet grassland type, Low and dry grassland type and Cropland - were identified. The habitats of avian species were highly correlated with vegetation type. Streptopelia orientalis and Hypsipetes amaurotis were found in woodland. Both Paradoxornis webbiana and Phoenicurus auroreus were mainly found in shrub. Tall and wet grassland were preference habitats of Ixobrychus sinensis, Acrocephalus arundinaceus, while, low and dry grassland were occupied by Phasianus colchicus, Falco tinnunculus. Cropland were used as breeding and feeding sites for Egretta alba modesta, Anas poecilorhyncha, Anthus spinoletta. Distribution patterns of avian species were clearly divided by vegetation type and site characteristics in the stream.

This paper describes a simplified numerical procedure for analyzing the response of bridge pier foundations due to riverbed scouring. A computationally efficient algorithm to analyze the behavior of a pile group is proposed by considering soil-pile, pile-cap, and pile-fluid interactions. The complex phenomenon of the pile-soil interaction is modeled by discrete nonlinear soil springs (p-y, t-z and q-z curves). The pile-cap interaction is considered by geometric configuration of the piles in a group and connectivity conditions between piles and the cap. The pile-fluid interaction is incorporated into the procedure by reducing the stiffness of the soil-pile reactions as a result of nonlinearity and degradation of the soil stiffness with river bridge scouring. Through the numerical study, it is shown that the maximum bending moment increases with increasing scour depth. Thus it is desirable to check the stability elf pile groups based on soil-pile and pile-cap interactions by considering scouring depth in the riverbed.
