Surface winds over the ocean influence not only the climate change through air-sea interactions but the coastal erosion through the changes in wave height and direction. Thus, demands on a reliable projection of future changes in surface winds have been increasing in various fields. For the future projections, climate models have been widely used and, as a priori, their simulations of surface wind are required to be evaluated. In this study, we evaluate the climatological mean surface winds over the Korean Waters simulated by five regional climate models participating in Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for East Asia (EA), an international regional climate model inter-comparison project. Compared with the ERA-interim reanalysis data, the CORDEX-EA models, except for HadGEM3-RA, produce stronger wind both in summer and winter. The HadGEM3-RA underestimates the wind speed and inadequately simulate the spatial distribution especially in summer. This summer wind error appears to be coincident with mean sea-level pressure in the North Pacific. For wind direction, all of the CORDEX-EA models simulate the well-known seasonal reversal of surface wind similar to the ERA-interim. Our results suggest that especially in summer, large-scale atmospheric circulation, downscaled by regional models with spectral nudging, significantly affect the regional surface wind on its pattern and strength.

Empirical band-ratio algorithms and artificial neural network techniques to retrieve sea surface chlorophyll concentrations were evaluated in the Bohai Sea of China by using an extensive field observation data set. Bohai Sea represents an example of optically complex case II waters with high concentrations of colored dissolved organic mattei (CDOM). The data set includes coincident measurements of radiometric quantities and chlorophyll a concentration (Chl), which were taken on 8 cruises between 2003 and 2005, The data covers a range of variability in Chl in surface waters from 0.3 to 6.5 mg $m^{-3}$. The comparison results showed that these empirical algorithms developed for case I and case II waters can not be applied directly to the Bohai Sea of china, because of significant biases. For example, the mean normalized bias (MNB) for OC4V4 product was 1.85 and the root mean square (RMS) error is 2.26.

Until now, pure drinking water grnerally menas the water without taste, odor, general bacteria, coliform, and other exotic substance. Such a definition has been changing recently due to the finding of numerous other inorganic and organic substances unknown to us. 10 years ago, major causes of death were infectious agents and parasites contained in water, but recently, it has become apparent that some substances contained in drinking water cause cancer and heart diseases. We must drink about 2L of water everyday in order to maintain healthy condition. Waters used for drinking include tap water, well water, spring water, filtered water, etc., but the quality of drinking water has more polluted due to the industrial development and population increase. For example, industrial waste waters from industrial plants pollute the water supply sources ; toxic substances contained in the waste waters pollute the ground water sources by penetrating the geological strata, and municipal, livestock, public building waste waters also pollute the water supply sources. Sometimes, the polluted surface waters were announced to be polluted by various kinds of orgainc substance, and it is reported that the pollution of ground water by orga nic substances has few in number but high in its concectration comparing with those of surface water. As the water quality pollution level increases, so the amount of disinfectant also increase. For example, chlorine solution, one of widely used disinfectants, creates trihalomethane(THM), a carcinogen, and halogen compounds. According to Oliver, through chlorine disinfection process, humine substance and chlorine create bolatile organic halide and nonvolatile organic halide by chemical reaction. There are tens or hundreds filtering devices, but filtering principles and maintenance metjhods are different, so their efficiency tests are needed. According to Smith, the effeciency tests aginst over 30 Ameican filtering devices show that 10 devices can remove 85% of volatile organics and further studies on filtered waters are underway. In consideration of important impacts of polluted drinking water on national health, authors studied the state of water quality pollution against tap water used as drinking water, filtration device passed water, ground water, and conserved drinking water ; tested the efficiency of filtration devices for tap water ; tried to sep up the detection method by using ion chromatography based on negative ion and positive ion by using single column, and attemped the simple filtration method for general households.

Hypoxia can indeed impact the survival of protists, which play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. To better understand the protistan community structure and species that can thrive in hypoxic waters, we collected samples from both the surface and bottom waters during the hypoxic period in Jinhae and Masan Bays and the non-hypoxic period in Jinhae Bay. Subsequently, we utilized metabarcoding techniques to identify the protistan species. During hypoxia, with dissolved oxygen concentrations of 0.8 mg L^-1 in Jinhae Bay and 1.8 mg L^-1 in Masan Bay within the bottom waters, the phylum Dinoflagellata exhibited the highest amplicon sequence variants richness among the identified protist phyla. Following the Dinoflagellata, Ochrophyta and Ciliophora also displayed notable presence. In hypoxic waters of Jinhae and Masan Bays, we identified a total of 36 dinoflagellate species that exhibited various trophic modes. These included one autotrophic species, 14 mixotrophic species, 9 phototrophic species with undetermined trophic modes (either autotrophic or mixotrophic), 2 kleptoplastidic species, and 10 heterotrophic species. Furthermore, the hypoxic bottom water exhibited a greater number of heterotrophic dinoflagellate species compared to the non-hypoxic surface water within the same water column or the non-hypoxic bottom water. Therefore, feeding by mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates may be partially responsible for their dominance in terms of the number of species surviving in hypoxic waters. This study not only introduces the initial documentation of 26 dinoflagellate species surviving in hypoxic conditions but also establishes a foundation for a more comprehensive understanding of the ecophysiology of dinoflagellates in hypoxic marine environments.

한국 남해연안 및 서해남부연안은 겨울철 강한 북서 계절풍과 이에 동반된 냉기류 그리고 조석작용에 의해 수직혼합이 용이하며 이 혼합된 연안냉수는 그 형성 위치로부터 외해로 이동되어짐이 인공위성 열적외선 영상으로부터 쉽게 추적된다. 특히 이들 연안수들은 북서계절풍의 영향을 강하게 받아 서해남부연안수는 혹산도 부근에서 형성된 후 추자도 부근까지 남하하고 때때로 제주해협을 통과하여 남해로 유입된다. 남해 연안수는 주기 적인 북풍에 의하여 외해로 확장하는데, 확장형태에 따라 침강확장과 표류확장으로 구분할 수 있다. 침강확장은 남해연안수가 바람에 의하여 외해로 확장하는 동안 해수면에서 계속 냉각이 될 경우 밀도가 높아져 해저면으로 침강하면서 확장하는 경우이고, 냉각이 일어나지 않을 때는 표층에 떠서 외해로 확장된다. 이러한 확장형태에 따라 침강확장시는 그 연직적인 움직임이 난류수와 반시계방향의 혼합이 일어나고, 표류확장시는 시계방향의 혼합이 일어난다. 또한 남해연안수의 확장은 수온전선에도 영향을 미치는데, 침강확장시는 수온전선의 저층에서 급격한 수온변화가 나타나고 표류확장시는 표층에서 강한 변화가 나타난다. 화장형태에 따른 내부수온구조를 보면 침강확장시는 전층이 평균보다 낮게 나타나지만, 표류확장시는 표층에서만 평균보다 낮게 나타난다.

Zooplankton dynamics were investigated based on samples collected monthly during the period between November 1998 and October 1999 at 15 stations in Gwangyang and Sachon Bay. Zooplankters were quantitatively collected with horizontal towing through the surface and oblique hauling from the bottom to surface at each station, simultaneously. A total of 88 taxa of zooplankton were distributed and 60 taxa were identified to species. Copepods showed the prosperity in species number of 52 species. Number of taxa occurred in samples hauled obliquely always showed $2\~5$ more species than those captured in the surface except for stations near the Namhae bridge. In waters near Namhae bridge, fast current seemed to mix waters vertically. Seasonally these differences were more distinct in the spring and summer than those in other seasons possibly due to the stratification in warmer seasons. In quantitative aspects, differences between two layers seemed to be obscure. Spatial and temporal variations in species diversity of copepods showed more prosperity in pelagic realm than those in the surface. Our collection carrying out in day time might be one of the important reason to cause these differences in zooplankton dynamics between two layers.

A useful radiance-converting method was developed to convert the Landsat-7 ETM+thermal-infrared (TIR) band's radiance ($L_{{\lambda},L7/ETM+}$) to that of Landsat-5 TM TIR ($L_{{\lambda},L5/TM+})$ as: $L_{{\lambda},L5/TM}=0.9699{\times}L_{{\lambda},L7/ETM+}+0.1074\;(R^2=1)$. In addition, based on the radiance-converting equation and the linear relation between digital number (DN) and at-satellite radiance, a DN-converting equation can be established to convert DN value of the TIR band between Landsat-5 and Landsat-7. Via this method, it is easy to integrate Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 TIR data to retrieve the sea surface temperature (SST) in coastal waters on the basis of local empirical algorithms in which the radiance or DN of Lansat-5 and 7 TIR band is usually the only input independent variable. The method was employed in a local empirical algorithm in Daya Bay, China, to detect the thermal pollution of cooling water discharge from the Daya Bay nuclear power station (DNPS). This work demonstrates that radiance conversion is an effective approach to integration of Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 data in the process of a SST retrieval which is based on local empirical algorithms.

여름철 인공호수(간월호, 부남호)로 부터의 담수방류시 천수만 수질(영양염, 유기물, 미량금속)에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 2011년 6, 7, 8, 10월에 평상시와 담수방류 시기 각 2회씩의 해수를 채취하였다. 담수가 방류되면 용존 무기 질소(DIN)의 농도가 만내의 모든 수층에서 약 3-4배 증가하였고, 평상시 암모니아성 질소(NH₄⁺-N)가 우세하다가 담수방류시 질산성 질소(NO₃^--N)가 우세하였다. 용존 무기인(DIP)의 경우 내만 표층에서 절반으로 감소하였고 저층에서는 1.5배 증가하였으며 규산염(Si(OH)₄)은 내만 저층에서 2배 증가하는 모습을 보였다. Redfield ratio는 담수 방류시 인 제한 환경으로 바뀌었다. 용존 유기 탄소(DOC) 및 질소(DON)는 약 2배 증가하였고, 입자상 유기 탄소(POC), 질소(PON), 인(POP) 및 생물기원 규소(Bio-SiO₂)는 내만 표층에서 약 2배 이상 증가했다. 용존 금속(Fe, Co, Ni, Cu)은 내만의 표층에서 증가하였으나, 용존 Cd의 경우 만의 표층에서 절반으로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 볼 때 영양염, 유기물 및 금속 농도가 높은 인공호수의 물이 만으로 유입되면, 천수만 내의 영양염 및 용존 유기물, 금속농도가 증가하고, 식물플랑크톤 대증식이 발생하여 표층에서 산소 과포화, 저층에서 빈산소를 발생시킨다. 빈산소와 함께 내만의 저층에서는 매우 높은 농도의 영양염(DIN, DIP, Si(OH)₄) 농도가 존재하였다. 수질 평가 지수값을 통해 천수만의 부영양화 정도를 평가한 결과, 평상시에는 3등급 이하로 나타나다가 방류시 5등급으로 바뀌게 됨을 알 수 있었다.

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.
