Wind velocity and wind direction are very important in the viewpoint of ship's safety and stability of port structure. The characteristics of wind distribution in the coast of Busan are analyzed for 10 years from 1997 to 2006 using AWS(Automatic Weather System) data. The characteristics of wind distribution of Miryang, is not affected by the land and sea breeze are also examined to understand clearly the characteristics of wind distribution in the coast of Busan. The mean wind velocity in the coast of Busan is stronger than that of Miryang. The mean wind velocitie at Youngdo and Gadukdo stations of Busan are stronger about 2.0 times than those at IlGwang, Haeundae and Daeyeon stations. The correlation a states show that the variation tendencies of monthly mean wind velocitie in the coast of Busan are very similar. The maximum monthly mean velocitie in the coast of Busan are recorded in September. This re ult is closely related to the influence of typhoon. The maximum instantaneous wind velocitie are also strong at Youngdo and Gadukdo stations and the peaks of maximum instantaneous wind $velocit^9$ are observed mainly from August to September. In the coast of Busan, the SW'ly-NNE'ly wind are prevailing in the winter and the SW'ly and NE'ly wind are predomi snt in the spring. w that the vs of wind direction in the summer and athumn are similar with those in the spring and winter, respectively.

Since the growth and quality of oak mushrooms are sensitively affected by environmental conditions, an adequate environmental control is very essential to improve the yield and quality under protected cultivation. In this study, the diameter, thickness, length and hardness of cap and stipe, the dry weight, fresh weight and moisture content of the mushrooms were analyzed under the environmental conditions such as night air temperatures (control, $5{\~}11^{\circ}C$ and $12{\~}18^{\circ}C$), relative humidities in the daytime (control, humidifying for 6 h and 12 h), and wind velocities (control, fan-operation for 6 h and 12 h). At a lower night temperature, the quality of the mushrooms was improved, and considered to be optimum at $3{\~}8^{\circ}C$ in terms of fresh weight and quality. At $70{\~}80{\%}$ of relative humidity in the daytime, the fresh weight was increased, but the quality decreased. Considering the quality, the relative humidity in the daytime is adequate at around $50{\%}$. At 6 h of maintaining the wind velocity at $1{\~}2\;my{\cdot}s^{-1}$, the growth and quality were better, but the lightness became higher at 12 h although the fresh weight was reduced by evaporation. It is concluded that even though both of the yield and quality are not easily improved at a same time, optimum approaches should be required by using the relationship among environmental factors and the growth and quality.
