  • 국가기상위성센터(NMSC)는 2011년 4월부터 천리안 위성(COMS) 해수면온도자료를 생산해왔다. 본 연구에서는 천리안 해수면온도 알고리즘을 이용하여 북서태평양 지역에 최적화된 해수면온도 산출 알고리즘 및 정지궤도와 극궤도 위성의 해수면온도 자료 합성 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 북서태평양 해역에 최적화된 천리안위성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 천리안 위성 자료와 부이(Buoy) 해수면온도 자료를 이용하여 해당지역에 최적화된 회귀계수를 산출 하였으며, 정확도 향상을 위한 새로운 구름 및 기타 오염 화소 제거와 부이자료의 품질검사 과정을 수행하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서 산출한 북서태평양 지역에 최적화된 천리안 위성 해수면 온도와 극궤도 위성(NOAA-18/19 and GCOM-W1) 해수면온도 자료를 이용하여 합성해수면 온도를 산출하였다. 합성 방법은 국립기상과학원에서 개발한 합성해수면온도 알고리즘을 응용하여 적용하였다(NIMR, 2009). 북서태평양 해역에 최적화된 천리안위성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 2011년 4월부터 2012년 3월까지의 위성 및 부이 자료를 사용하였고, 합성 해수면온도를 산출하기 위해 2012년 7월부터 2013년 6월까지의 자료를 사용하였다. 합성 해수면온도와 부이 해수면온도 자료를 비교한 결과 $0.95^{\circ}C$의 평균 제곱근 오차(RMSE)를 나타냈다.

  • Coupled Climate Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 6에 참여한 21개의 모형들의 기후변화 시나리오 실험 결과로부터 북서태평양 해면수온과 쿠로시오의 미래변화를 분석하였다. 해면수온 상승의 공간적인 특징은 쿠로시오의 공간적인 분포와 유속의 변화와 관련된 것으로 파악되었다. 북태평양에서 아열대 순환계와 아한대 순환계의 경계를 따라 흐르는 쿠로시오 확장역의 위치 변화와 지구온난화에 따른 대규모 대기순환과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 21개 모형 중 9개의 모형들의 기후변화 실험별로 zero-바람회전응력이 나타나는 위도를 비교하였다. 온실기체의 증가로 대기복사강제력이 커짐에 따라 zero-바람회전응력이 나타나는 위도가 북상하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 관측에서 나타난 zero-바람회전응력이 나타나는 위도가 북상하는 추세와 일치하는 결과이다. 이러한 결과는 지구온난화로 인해 해들리순환이 북쪽으로 확장함에 따라 한반도가 속한 중위도의 온난화가 가속될 수 있음을 나타낸다. 대한해협을 통해 동해로 유입되는 대마난류의 수송량과 온도 또한 대기복사강제력이 커짐에 따라 증가하였다.

  • 톱상어과는 톱상어목에 속하며 지금까지 2속 8종이 보고되었다. 우리나라에 서식하는 톱상어과 어류는 톱상어 1종으로 알려져 있다. 톱상어과는 주둥이 양쪽에 작고 큰 이빨이 나있으며 납작하고 긴 것이 특징이다. 톱상어의 집단구조를 알기 위해서 4개의 지역(한국, 개체수=6; 미야기현, 개체수=1; 고치현, 개체수=1; 오키나와, 개체수=8)에서 채집된 16개체를 대상으로 형태와 분자분석을 실시하였다. 형태분석결과 3가지의 유형으로 구분되었으며, 그 중 톱상어 A 유형은 한국과 일본에 서식하며 짧은 주둥이(전장의 26.8%), 폭넓은 주둥이(주둥이 길이는 주둥이 폭의 4.5배)를 가지며, 톱상어 모식표본과 유사한 점에서 톱상어(Pristiophorus japonicus)로 추정된다. 톱상어 B 유형은 오키나와에 서식하며 긴 주둥이(전장의 31.7%), 폭넓은 주둥이(5.2배)를 가져 Pristiophorus sp.1로 제안한다. 톱상어 C 유형은 오키나와에 서식하며 긴 주둥이(전장의 31.7%), 폭좁은 주둥이(6.3배)를 가져 Pristiophorus sp. 2로 제안한다. 나아가 톱상어 A 유형과 C 유형의 mtDNA cytb 영역을 비교한 결과 2.1~2.7% 차이를 보여 형태결과를 지지해 주었다. 향후 Pristiophorus sp. 1 및 Pristiophorus sp. 2의 분류학적 위치를 구명하기 위한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

  • The bathymetric and gravity data were obtained in 2001 and 2003 during a survey of seamounts in the northwest of the Marshall Islands, western Pacific. The study areas are located in the Pigafetta Basin which is the oldest part of the Pacific plate and in the Ogasawara Fracture Zone which formed from the spreading ridge between the Izanagi and Pacific plates in the Jurassic. The densities of seamounts and the elastic thickness values of the lithosphere are calculated by using three-dimensional flexure modeling considering the constant sediment layer in the infinite plate model. Very low elastic thickness values (5km), relatively young seamounts, and old lithosphere in the east study area suggest the possibility of the rejuvenation of lithosphere by widespread volcanisms, whereas the elastic thickness values (15km), relatively old seamounts, and young lithosphere of the west study area are suitable for a simple cooling plate model of $300-600^{\circ}C$ isotherm. The gravity residuals of OSM6-1 and OSM6-2 suggest the possibility of different load density or elastic thickness. Relatively older OSM6-2 formed on the younger lithosphere with relatively thin elastic thickness, while younger OSM6-1 on the older lithosphere with relatively thick elastic thickness.

  • Background: There is little information about the objectivity of posttraumatic growth experienced by cancer patients. So, the aim of present study was to investigate the viewpoints of family caregivers regarding posttraumatic growth in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in one referral medical center in East Azerbaijan Province in northwest of Iran. 120 primary family caregivers of cancer patients participated with a convenience sampling method. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Perception about Prognosis Scale (PPS) were applied for data collection with analysis performed using SPSS statistical software. Results: Family caregivers believed that their patients had a good prognosis (score 3.95 from 5). The total score of PTGI was 60.7 (SD=18.8) that indicates a moderate level of growth as reported by family caregivers. Conclusions: Family caregivers of cancer patients have incorrect viewpoints about the prognosis of their patients and reported moderate levels of growth. These findings showed that posttraumatic growth among cancer patients is an objective phenomenon.

  • This study investigates the spatial structure of the total cloud liquid water content Q fields over the Northwest Pacific Ocean during winter monsoon. The distributions of Q have been estimated from the brightness temperatures of the ocean - atmosphere system $T_B(f)$, where f is frequency, measured by AQUA AMSR-E in January -March 2003. Marine strati (St) and stratocumuli (Sc) are typical for winter monsoon season. They were analysed using mainly high-frequency channel at f = 36.5 GHz, vertical polarisation. $T_B$ data were accompanied by the data on near surface wind speed, air temperature and humidity from the nearest meteorological stations. Tow one-dimensional spectra were computed for downwind and crosswind sections of Q fields. The AMSR-E antenna field of view (14-8 km) and the cloud field sizes (100-1000 km) restricted the spatial scales. The results of case study Jan 31 2003 are presented. Scale-invariant spectrum is typical. In the cases of extended St levels a spectral slope equals about -1.7, conforming to classical -5/3 of turbulence theory. For Sc cases the absolute magnitude of spectral slope is rather higher, as a rule. The value is about -2. In the case when cloud streets are presented, a strait line form of spectrum is less reliable with a slope being rather lower (about -1.4).

  • A new marine tardigrade species of the genus Orzeliscus belonging to the family Halechiniscidae is described from the sea coasts of Korea and Japan. This new species is most characterized in having slender, pole-shaped clava with uniform breadth along its whole length. Furthermore, it evidently differs from the congeners by the combination of characters of a hemispherical protrusion on cheek region of the head, a big and bulbous lateral projection between leg III and leg IV, and an elongate papillus terminating with a minute tube on leg IV. 'Orzeliscus cf. belopus' sensu McKirdy, Schmidt and McGinty-Bayly, 1976 from the Galapagos Islands quite resembles this new species in sharing the slender, pole-shaped clava. However, these two Pacific populations are distinguished to each other by body size and shapes of the protrusion on cheek region and the lateral projection between leg III and leg IV. Scanning electron microscope photographs and a key to species of the genus Orzeliscus are also provided herein.

  • Some echinoids were collected from the coast of Gangwon-do during the period from November 2008 to July 2011 and were identified on the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of cytochrome oxidase subunit I mitochondrial DNA. Among them, Strongylocentrotus pallidus (Sars, 1871) belonging to the family Strongylocentrotidae of the order Camarodonta is reported for the first time in Korea and is redescribed. The genetic differences ranged from 0.038 to 0.139 between S. pallidus and four other species of genus Strongylocentrotus, but ranged from 0.002 to 0.005 between Korean specimens and GenBank data of S. pallidus. This species is widely distributed in cold sea water along the western part of the North Pacific and the Northwest Atlantic.

  • In this research, the possible applicability of mixture blended with natural, crushed, and recycled fine aggregate are discussed. The fresh and hardened properties of mortar using blended fine aggregates are monitored depending on various blending ratio of fine aggregates. Newly developed ternary diagram was also utilized for better interpretation of the data. It was found that air content increased and unit weight decreased as recycled fine aggregate content increased. With moisture type processing of recycled fine aggregate, the mortar flow was not negatively affected by increase in the recycled fine aggregate content. The ternary diagram is found to be an effective graphical presentation tool that can be used for the quality evaluation of mortar using blended fine aggregate.

  • Depressive symptoms are one of the biggest mental health issues among Korean American adolescents. Previous studies have found that parental warmth and intergenerational family conflict have a major impact on depressive symptoms among Korean American adolescents. This cross-sectional study examines the mediation effects of intergenerational family conflict between perceived parental warmth and depressive symptoms among 97 Korean American adolescents aged 14 to 18 years old in the Pacific Northwest region. The results revealed that 60% of participants experienced depressive symptoms. In addition, mother-adolescent conflict significantly mediated between perceived parental warmth and depressive symptoms while father-adolescent conflict did not significantly mediate. The finding suggests the need to develop intervention programs for Korean American adolescents and their parents that focus on creating an understanding of the difference between Korean culture and American culture, identifying early signs of depressive symptoms, and decreasing intergenerational family conflict by teaching parents to express parental warmth effectively.
