The object of this study was to analyze long-term water quality gradients during 1992-2008 at six sites of Geumho River and near-by two sites of Nakdong River and their influences on fish trophic guilds and tolerance guilds along with ecological health. Water quality including biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), conductivity, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and total suspended solids (TSS) varied largely depending on the sampling locations and seasons. Values of ambient BOD, COD, TP, and TN were greater in the downstream than in the upstream reach, and seasonal and interannual variabilities were also higher in the downstreams. This phenomenon was evident due to a dilution by the Asian monsoon rainfall during the monsoon. These outcomes indicate that point sources near the downstream are important for the chemical conditions, but also seasonal stream runoff was considered as an important factor regulating the chemical conditions. Conductivity decreased rapidly during the summer due to ionic dilution, and nutrients (N, P), BOD, COD had an inverse function of seasonal precipitation. Based on the water quality, we selected two sites (control site = $C_s$ vs. impacted site = $I_s$) for impact analysis of water chemistry on fish community and trophic/tolerant guilds. Fish guild analysis showed that species diversity was higher in the headwater stream ($C_s$) than the impacted downstream ($I_s$), and that the proportion of tolerant and omnivore species were greater in the impacted site of downstream. Comparisons of water quality between Geumho River and Nakdong River indicated that Geumho River was considered as a point source which degradated water quality to the Nakdong River. Overall, chemical water quality and fish guild analysis suggest that even if current chemical quality got better after 1996 due to continuous constructions of wastewater disposal plants near the downstreams, fish compositions of tolerant and omnivores were still dominated the community. Thus, biological restoration based on ecological health is required for the ecosystem conservation.

An investigation was carried out to study the effect of two housing systems on physiological responses and energy expenditure of sheep in a semi-arid region of India. Two types of housing management were adopted. First was a shed- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ structure with all the four sides of 1.8 m chain link fencing with a central height of 3 m. The roof was covered with asbestos sheets and with mud floorings. Second was an open corral- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ open space with all the four sides covered with 1.8 m chain link fencing. Thirty-four (32 ewes and 2 rams) sheep of native Malpura breed aged about 18 months (body weight 28 kg ewes; 35 kg rams) were grazed together on a 35 ha plot of native range. All the sheep were grazed as a flock from 08.00 to 17.00 h during a yearlong study. The flock was divided into two groups (16 ewes+1 ram) in the evening and housed as per the systems (Shed and Open Corral). Dry and wet temperatures were recorded at 06.00 h and 21.00 h using a wet and dry bulb-thermometer both inside the shed and in the open corral and temperature humidity index (THI) was calculated. There was significant (p<0.05) difference in the THI between shed and open corral in all the seasons, indicating that shed was always warmer compared to open corral. Rectal temperature (RT) of both the groups of sheep was similar during morning as well as evening throughout the seasons. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the skin temperature (ST) and respiration rate (RR) between the two groups at both the measurements in all the seasons. Highest energy expenditure (EE) was recorded inside the shed at 21.00 h (224 kJ/h) during monsoon and lowest at 6.00 h during winter (119 kJ/h). There was a significant (p<0.05) difference between the EE inside the shed and that in the open corral. It was concluded that housing had significant effects on the physiological responses and EE of sheep. Provision of housing at night was stressful during monsoon (with less rainfall) and summer, whereas it was protecting the sheep from acute cold during winter in a semi-arid region of India.

토양수분은 기후, 토양 및 지표면의 조건 등에 의해 영향을 받는다. 특히, 급격한 도시화 및 산업화의 영향으로 다른 영향인 자들 보다 지표면 조건의 변화가 크게 바뀌고 있다고 할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 이러한 지표면 조건의 변화가 토양수분에 어떻게 영향을 미칠 수 있는지를 간단한 토양수분 동역학 모형을 이용하여 평가해 보았다. 먼저, 본 논문에서는 토양수분의 시간적 공간적 통계특성을 정량화 해보기 위해 논문의 전반부를 Washita ’92 자료 및 Monsoon ’90 자료의 1차원 및 2차원의 통계적 특성을 정리하는데 할해하였으며, 논문의 후반부에서 지표면 조건의 변화를 모형 매개변수의 통계적인 특성을 변화시킴으로서 고려하고 각각의 경우 토양수분이 어떻게 반응하는가를 살펴보았다. 사용된 모형은 선형저수지의 개념에 토양상층에서의 공간적 거동을 고려하기 위하여 확산의 개념을 도입하여 구성된 모형이다. 모형의 주요 매개변수는 손실률과 확산계수로 나타나고, 이들은 관측자료의 통계특성을 이용하여 추정될 수 있다. 지표면 조건의 변화는 모형의 매개변수에 다양한 통계특성을 적용하고 고려하게 된다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 지표면 조건의 평균적인 변화보다 이의 공간적인 분산도의 변화에 초점을 맞추어 분석하였다. 이는 평균적인 지표면 조건의 변화는 선형저수지의 이론에 근거하여 그 영향을 쉽게 판단할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구의 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 지표면 상태의 분산도가 커질 경우 토양수분은 더 쉽게 손실된다, (2) 토양수분의 분산도는 모의 초기에 강우의 영향으로 크게 나타나나 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하고 점차 지표면 상태의 분산특성를 나타내게 된다, (3) 지표면 유출이나 토양상층에서의 토양수분 이동에 따른 확산의 영향은 지표면 유출이 존재하는 강우기간으로 제한되며 전체적으로 토양수분의 변화에 미미한 영향을 미친다.

강수량의 계절성은 수자원관리에 매우 중요한 수문요소로서 계절성의 변동을 정량적으로 평가하는 것은 미래 수자원관리 및 정책 수립에 필수적이다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구의 목적은 강수량의 계절성을 평가하는데 유리한 방법론을 제시하고 이를 통한 계절 변동성의 정량적인 해석을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서 제시한 순환통계치 분석은 시간을 각도로 변환하여 이용함으로써 미세한 시간적인 변화양상의 정량적인 해석이 가능하였다. 월최대강수량의 발생 시기는 남해안지역이 6월말에서 7월초이고, 북쪽으로 올라감에 따라 조금씩 발생시기가 늦어지는 것으로 분석되었다. 일최대강수량의 시공간적 변동성은 월 최대강수량보다 크게 분석되었으며, 이는 일최대강수량의 경우 지형학적인 영향에 크게 좌우되며, 우리나라의 여름철 극치강수량이 태풍 발생빈도 및 경로와 연관성을 갖는다는 사실을 반영한 결과라고 판단된다. 월최대강수량 및 일최대강수량 발생시기의 이동평균을 통해 발생시기의 변동을 분석한 결과, 서울과 강릉지방은 최대강수량의 발생시점이 늦어지고 있으며 반대로 목포와 부산지방은 최대강수량의 발생시점이 앞당겨지고 있었다. 이는 몬순시스템의 거동에 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.

The Kum-Ho river basin is one of the densely populated area having more than 35% of the total population and it was also well irrigated since ealier days in the Nackdong River Basin Most of the easily developed source of surface water are fully utilized, and at this moment the basin is at the stage that no more surface water can be made available under the present rapid development of economic condition. Since surface water supplies from the basin have become more difficult to obtain, the ground water resources must be thoroughly investigated and utilized greatly hereafter. In economic ground of the basin what part could ground water play\ulcorner In what quantities and, for what uses could it be put\ulcorner The answer to these questions can be relatively simple; the ground water resources in the basin can be put at almost any desired use and almost anywhere in the basin. The area of the basin is at about 2088km$^2$ in the middle part of Nackdong River Basin and it is located along the Seoul-Pusan Express Highway. The mean annual rainfall is about 974.7m/m, most of which falls from June to September during the monsoon. Accumulated wet period is appeared approximately after every 8 year's accumulated dry-period with the duration of 5 years. The water bearing formations in the basin include unconsolidated alluvial deposits in Age of Quatenary, saprolite derived from weathered crystalline rocks, Kyongsang sedimentary formations of the period from late Jurassic to Cretaceouse, and igneouse rocks ranging of the Age from Mesozoic to Cenozoic. The most productive ground water reservoir in the basin is calcareouse shale and sandstones of Kyongsan system, which occupies about 66% of the total area.

This study evaluates the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in reproducing the present-day (1981~2005) precipitation over Far East Asia and South Korea. The WRF model is configured with 25-km horizontal resolution within the context of the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) - East Asia Phase 2. The initial and lateral boundary forcing for the WRF simulation are derived from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Interim reanalysis. According to our results, WRF model shows a reasonable performance to reproduce the features of precipitation, such as seasonal climatology, annual and inter-annual variabilities, seasonal march of monsoon rainfall and extreme precipitation. In spite of such model's ability to simulate major features of precipitation, systematic biases are found in the downscaled simulation in some sub-regions and seasons. In particular, the WRF model systematically tends to overestimate (underestimate) precipitation over Far East Asia (South Korea), and relatively large biases are evident during the summer season. In terms of inter-annual variability, WRF shows an overall smaller (larger) standard deviation in the Far East Asia (South Korea) compared to observation. In addition, WRF overestimates the frequency and amount of weak precipitation, but underestimates those of heavy precipitation. Also, the number of wet days, the precipitation intensity above the 95 percentile, and consecutive wet days (consecutive dry days) are overestimated (underestimated) over eastern (western) part of South Korea. The results of this study can be used as reference data when providing information about projections of fine-scale climate change over East Asia.

In an effort to develop high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) proxies for mid-latitude regions, two massive reef-building coral species, Alveopora and Favia, were collected from Jeju and Tsushima Islands, respectively. Their skeletons were subsequently analyzed for annual growth banding, Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios. Hermatypic corals are thinly distributed in the waters of Jeju Island, where Alveopora japonica was the only dominant coral species. A higher diversity of hermatypic corals were observed in the waters of Tsushima Island, where Favia sp. was the most common coral species and even forming an about 6-m-high reef structure. Both Alveopora and Favia showed annual growth layers consisting of couplets of high- and low-density bands. Sr/Ca ratio of both species and Mg/Ca ratio of Alveopora also showed seasonal variation, likely reflecting SST variation. These results suggest the possibility that Alveopora and Favia species can be used as potential SST proxies. However, this study also highlights the potential growth disturbance of middle latitude corals due to high rainfall during monsoon and low SST during winter. This possibility should be taken into account in the investigation of Sr/Ca(Mg/Ca)-SST relationships.

전통적으로, 한국의 벼생산 시스템은 곡물생산이라는 주목적 이외에, 지하수 함양, 장마기의 담수기능에 의한 홍수 방지 등 논농사가 가지는 다원적 기능이 주요한 특징으로 자리잡고 있다. 이러한 의미에서, 앞으로 다가올 기후변화에 대응한 새로운 작물생산 기술의 개발은 벼 생산 시스템의 다원적 기능과 IT, BT, NT를 융합한 체계로 나아가야 할 필요가 있다. 이와 같은 요구에 부응하기 위해서는 현재의 농업생산체계가 다음과 같은 새로운 파라다임으로 전환해야 할 것이다. 우선, 식량과 에너지를 생산하는 터전인 농경지의 중요성과 가치를 재인식하고 유지 보전 시켜야 할 것이다. 둘째, 농업생산 구조가 에너지 수지를 고려한 저탄소 녹색 농업체계로 전환하여야 할 것이다. 마지막으로 논 농업이 가진 공익적 기능을 새롭게 인식하고 이를 극대화시키는 자세 전환이 필요할 것이다.

This study presented seasonal changes of the phytoplankton community in Junam reservoir by pollution and water quality of the lake. The water storage of the reservoir is 5.3 million ton, most of which are being utilized for agricultural, industrial and residential purposes. The annual precipitation during the investigation period was 1,868.9 mm, increasing by 20% from the average annual level of 1,506.7 mm in 2009. The annual average water storage was 57.3%. It decreased during agricultural season and then increased again after monsoon rainfall. The loads of BOD were $3,799kgday^{-1}$, and 81% of them came from livestock and household. The TN and TP loads were $1,164kgday^{-1}$ and $170kgday^{-1}$, respectively, and 76% of them came from livestock. We assessed water quality of the Junam reservoir using 17 variables. According to the result, the reservoir met the fourth grade, meaning slightly bad, because of high concentration of COD, SS and chlorophyll-a. Eutrophication assessment was conducted by revised Carlson's Index (TSIm, Aizaki), and it was found that the entire lake was eutrophicated with high chlorophyll-a concentration all through the year, except during February to April and in July. A total of 76 phytoplankton species were identified from the samples. Among them, the largest number of species were Chlorophyceae with 33 species(43.4%), followed by Bacilliophyceae with 27 species(35.5%), Cyanophyceae with 8 species(10.5%), and Cryptophyceae with species(10.5%). The total cell number of phytoplankton was the highest in October(7,884 cells $mL^{-1}$) among Cyanophyceae and Bacilliophyceae. The seasonal succession of Chlorophyceae (Chlamydomonas spp.), Cyanophyceae(Microcystis aeruginosa) and Cryptophyceae(Rhodomonas spp.) was observed during January to May, July to September and October to December respectively.

To elucidate the mechanism associated with the development of heavy precipitation system, a field experiment was carried out in Jejudo (or Jeju Island) and Marado, Korea from 22 June to 12 July 2006. The synoptic atmospheric conditions were analyzed using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCEP/NCAR) reanalyzed data, weather maps, and sounding data. The kinematic characteristics of each precipitation system were investigated by dual Doppler radar analysis. During the field experiment, data of four precipitation events with more than 20 mm rainfall were collected. In F case (frontal precipitation), a typical Changma front was dominant and the observation field was fully saturated. However there was no convective instability near the surface. LF case (low pressure accompanied with Changma front) showed strong convective instability near the surface, while a strong convergence corresponded to the low pressure from China accompanied with Changma front. In FT case (Changma front indirectly influenced by typhoon), the presence of a convective instability indicated the transport of near surface, strong additional moisture from the typhoon 'EWINIAR'. The convergence wind field was ground to be located at a low level. The convective instability was not significant in T case (precipitation of the typhoon 'EWINIAR'), since the typhoon passed through Jejudo and the Changma front was disappeared toward the northeastern region of the Korean peninsula. The kinematic (convergence and divergence) characteristics of wind fields, convective instability, and additional moisture inflow played important roles in the formation and development of heavy precipitation.
