The forth dye diffusion experiment, which was authorized by the Office of Atomic Energy, and some physical aspect of oceanographic observations were carried out in the sea off Kori in September 29-October 1, 1971. In a series of drift bottle experiments the 337 bottles were released. And bottom topography by echo soundings in the survey was well approached to the chart No. 433, Kori and Approaches, published by Hydrographic Office in October 1970. Results deduced from this survey were as follows: 1. A small ridge extends from Kori-Mal tip in southwestward over 1300 meters, and eastside of which is plain and a little sloping while westside of which cliffy and very steeper sloping. 2. A gyre was formed in the waters from Kori-Mal to Mat-dum in cum sole definitely at flood tide and in contra solem less definitely at ebb tide. And that the gyre rose and decayed with the turn of the tide. 3. Diffusion coefficients of 2.5% Rhodamine B solution of 200 liters were 9. 3 ${\times}{10^2}$ c$m^2$/sec in the waters Kori-Mal to Mat-dum and 28.6${\times}{10^2}$ c$m^2$/sec in the waters eastside of Mat-dum at the time after 26 minutes from releasing of the dye solution. 4. According to the above results the eastside of Mat-dum is rather recommendable to settle as the point for the outlet of drainage or waste of atomic power plant to be constructed.
