This study was conducted to investigate the soil characteristics of newly reclaimed tidal land and the effect of green manure crops on soil properties. Summer green manure crops such as sesbania (Sesbania grandiflora), barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.) and sorghum${\times}$sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor L.) were cultivated at Hwaong, Ewon, Saemangeum and Yongsangang area. Soil pH of reclaimed tidal land was relatively high, but organic matter and available phosphorus contents were lower compared to the optimum range for common upland crops. Soil nutrient contents were unbalanced for upland crop growth. Yield of green manure crops had a wide spatial variation. Nitrogen content in green manure crops was the greater in Sesbania and it was estimated that major nutrient ($N-P_2O_5-K_2O$) supply amount were 150-40-370, 220-50-170 and 140-50-250 $kg\;ha^{-1}$ from sorghum${\times}$sudangrass hybrid, sesbania and barnyard grass, respectively. Based on these results, desalination is required to grow the upland crops at newly reclaimed tidal lands and management practices are necessary to reduce the salt damage by resalinization during the growing seasons. To improve the productivity and increase the nutrient utilization rate, soil physicochemical properties need to be improved to the level for upland crops by application of organic matter and fertilizer.

Enteromorpha prolifera of the isomorphic diploid sporophyte and the haploid gametophyte generations inhabit rocks, tidal flats and tidal pools in the middle parts of intertidal zones. In this experiment, their thalli were observed by bare eyes from October and experienced $74\pm16.5cm$ maximum growth the following March and April. The rate of occurrence of the thalli per month was highest in March, while their biomass peaked at $1,464\pm41.5 g/m^2$ in Jangheung in April. Genetic similarity was investigated samples of E. prolifera collected from Muan, Wando, Jangheung, Yosu and Jinhae, at the south coast of Korea. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used. For the RAPD analysis, 3 ng of the DNA extracted from the thalli using he phenol/chloroform method was amplified by PCR with a 25 {\mu}L$ reaction solution, arbitrary primers and 36 cycles. Among the 60 primers used, 31 yielded products, most of which showed diverse electrophoresis patterns. Similarities among the groups compared ranged from 0.37 to 0.58. We conclude that the use of RAPD analysis is appropriate to characterize the genetic variability of this commercial species along its geographical distribution.

This paper is to estimate the long and short term variations of mean sea level in Korean coastal waters by identifying interrelations among the mean sea level, atmospheric pressure and air temperature along the coast. For this, long-term tidal data observed at tidal and weather observation stations were brought into a statistical analysis. It was noted that, in a general sense, an inverse relationship exists between the sea level and the atmospheric pressure and a positive relationship between the sea level and air temperature, respectively. The maximum difference of monthly mean sea level was in the range of 21 to 25 cm at the eastern and southeastern coasts, meanwhile more than 30 cm being in both in southern and western coasts. It was also noted that mean sea level continues to rise in a long-term basis. Long-term variation of mean sea level trends to rise 0.10 ∼ 0.44 cm per year for each region. However, the long-term variation of mean sea level in the isolated islands shows a different trend, Ullngdo being 0.41 cm fall per year and Chejudo being 0.44 cm rise per year.

Spatial variation of heavy metal accumulation was investigated in Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum collected from several tidal flats. Sediment metal levels varied highly among the sites, which was attributed primarily to differences in Fe and organic carbon contents and in part to gain size. Significant differences in metal concentrations also were found in the clam tissue among the different sampling sites. However, except for a few metals (Mn, Zn, Pb), which showed some elevation, the variations in the clam tissue were not related to the variations in the sediment. This is likely because most metals in filter-feeding herbivores such as R. philippinarum accumulated as a result of feeding on suspended particles such as phytoplankton and organic detritus in the water column, not in bottom sediment. In addition, tissue weight for a specific shell size varied significantly among the sites, and increased tissue mass indicating a good nutritive condition likely caused a subsequent dilution of body metals leading to reduced weight-specific concentrations of some metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Co).

Harsh seawater environment is subdivided into marine atmosphere, splash zone, tidal zone, submerged zone and bottom of sea depending on the exposed part. Since corrosion rate depends on the conditions of the exposed parts, proper protection and maintenance for each parts are essential for long-term use of steel structures in seawater environment. For steel structures which were installed in Shiwha Lake, a special maintenance system is required to guarantee its long-term durability and safety. As the tidal power plant has recently been operated, the salinity has risen due to the rapid influx of seawater upstream into Sihwa Lake and the corrosion tendency of the structure is variable according to the water level fluctuation. In this study, corrosion properties of steel structures under water level fluctuation was evaluated by corrosion rate measurement, visual inspection and natural potential measurement and their durability and life management were discussed in view of the effect of variation in of seawater level fluctuations in Shihwa Lake.

본고는 지난 12년동안 한국연안에 내습한 태풍 및 각 검조소에 출현한 매년의 최고 이상고조와 1970.8.29∼9.2에 있었던 태풍 빌리호 내습시 남 서해안의 각 검조소에서 얻은 자료에 의하여 해면변화에 대한 사례조사를 시도한 것이다. 한국연안은 매년 빈번한 기상교란 (태풍, 저기압등) 에 의하여 이상고조 또는 기상해일현상이 발생, 항만이나 연안지대에서는 적지 않은 피해를 받고 있으나 이에 관한 조사는 전혀 없었으며, 이후 연안지대의 고도이용이나 연안방재를 위하여 먼저 정확한 사례조사가 필요하다고 본다.

For the design of wind-power facilities, the highest and lowest astronomical tides (HAT and LAT, respectively) are needed for the tidal-water levels regarding international designs; however, the approximate highest high water and approximate lowest low water AHHW and ALLW, respectively, have been used in Korea. The HAT and LAT in the wind-farm test-bed sea should be estimated to satisfy the international standard. In this study, the HAT and LAT are therefore estimated using the hourly tidal-elevation data of the Eocheongdo, Anmado, Younggwang, Gunsan, Janghang, and Seocheon tidal-gauging stations that are located in the adjacent coastal sea. The nodal variation patterns of the major lunar components, such as $M_2$, $O_1$, and $K_1$ are analyzed to check the expected long-term lunar cycle, i.e., 18.61 year's nodal-variation patterns. The temporal amplitude variations of the $M_2$, $O_1$, and $K_1$ clearly show the 18.61-years periodic patterns in the case of the no-nodal correction condition. In addition, the suggested HAT and LAT elevations, estimated as the upper and lower confidence limits of the yearly HAT and LAT elevations, are 50 cm greater than the AHHW and 40 cm lower than the ALLW, respectively.

간척지에서 식생의 분포에 대한 평가는 토양관리 및 환경적 연구를 위해 필요하다. 본 연구는 한국 중부 서해안 경기만 내의 3개 간척지에서 식생의 분포와 토양 염농도 간의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 식생이 연속분포를 보이는 지점에서 토양 염농도를 측정하고 출현식물종을 분류하여 연속분포의 특성을 기술하였다. 간척지 내에 나타나는 식생의 공간변이는 부분적으로 이루어지지만 각각의 공간변이를 토양 염농도를 기준으로 연결한 결과 토양 염농도 구배와 내염성 식물종의 분포가 일치하는 연속분포(continuum distribution)를 보여, 토양 염농도가 높은 곳은 내염성 식물종이, 낮은 곳은 비내염성 식물종이 분포하였다. 연속분포는 간척 경과 년 수가 오래된 곳에서 유형이 다양하고 명확하게 구분되나, 간척 초기 지역에서는 연속분포 현상이 뚜렷하지 않았다. 연속분포 유형은 순차적 유형과 비순차적 유형으로 구분되었다. 순차적 유형은 토양 염농도가 높은 곳을 기점으로 할 경우 토양 염농도가 연속적으로 낮아지는 방향으로 이어지며 식물종도 이에 따라 선구종 염생식물(pioneer halophyte)에서 저염생식물(facultative halophyte), 중성식물(glycophyte)의 순으로 변화하였다. 비순차적 유형은 비연속적 토양 염농도의 변화에 의해 형성되며, 식생의 분포도 단계적 변화를 보이지 않고 비정형적이다. 간척 경과 년 수가 오래된 지역에서는 토양 염농도가 높은 식생 고사지역이 있고 식생 비분포지와 함께 이 지점을 기점으로 식생의 연속분포가 형성되었다.

The effective range of surface current data observed by high-frequency radar (HFR) operated in the northern coastal area of Jeju Island by Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology was estimated and the distribution and variability of the M₂ tidal current of the Jeju Strait was analyzed. To evaluate the HFR data, the M₂ tidal current corrected from 25 hours current data observed by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) was compared with the M₂ tidal current in the Jeju Strait analyzed from the surface currents of HFR. The reliability of HFR data was confirmed by analyzing the characteristics of the tide components of these two data sets, and the effective range of HFR data was estimated through temporal and spatial analysis. The observation periods of HFR used in the analysis were from 2012 to 2014, and it was confirmed that there is a difference in the effective range of HFR data according to the observation time. During the analysis periods, the difference between the M₂ current ellipses from the data of KHOA and the HFR was greater in the eastern than in the western part of the Jeju Strait, and represented a high reliability in the western and central parts of the Jeju Strait. The tidal current of the Jeju Strait analyzed using the HFR data revealed a seasonal variability a relatively weak in summer and a strong in winter, about a 17% fluctuations between the summer and winter based on the length of the semi-major axis of tidal ellipse. Appraisals and results of regarding the characteristics and seasonal variability of the M₂ tidal current in the Jeju Strait using HFR data have not been previously reported, so the results of this study are considered meaningful.
