Deicing system is to melt frost or ice freezed in catenary line when the temperature is lower than $0^{\circ}C$ in winter. The principle of deicing system is to melt frost or ice by Joule heat of catenary impedance. The performance of deicing is dependant of deicing current determined by the length of deicing section, deicing impedance and current division ratio of catenary line and messenger line. So, we present technique for estimating deicing current and process for determination of deicing section in the conventional line. Deicing impedance is estimated using Carson-Pollaczek equation, and current division ratio of catenary line and messenger line is estimated using voltage drop, and deicing current is estimated using power system data of deicing system. For the determination of the final deicing section, we verified estimated value comparing with experiment value of deicing impedance and current division ratio of catenary line and messenger line using low voltage experiment. Finally, we verified the validity of estimation technique and process using a simulated test data of real deicing system operation in the Chungju Substation, Chungbuk line.

북극과 남극의 해빙을 촬영한 Kompsat-1 EOC 영상을 SSM/I Sea Ice Concentration(SIC)과 비교하였다. EOC 영상은 2005년 $7{\sim}8$월 북극 해빙지역의 가장자리를 지나는 10개 궤도(624 영상)와 $9{\sim}11$월 남극대륙의 가장자리를 지나는 11개 궤도(676 영상)에서 얻어졌다. 그 중 구름의 영향이 없는 약 12%의 영상으로부터 감독분류와 육안분류를 통해 Multi-year ice와 First-year ice(M+F), Young ice(Y), New ice(N)로 해빙의 유형을 구분하여 SIC를 계산하였으며, 이를 NASA Team Algorithm(NTA)으로 계산된 SSM/I SIC와 비교하였다. 북극의 여름철에는 해빙의 시공간적 변화가 매우 크기 때문에 EOC SIC(M+F+Y+N)와 SSM/I SIC의 상관계수는 0.671로 잘 일치하지 않았다. 남극의 봄철에 N을 제외한 EOC SIC(M+F+Y)의 경우 SSM/I SIC와 0.873의 높은 상관계수를 가졌다. 이로부터 NTA로 계산된 남극의 SSM/I SIC가 M과 F를 비롯하여 Y도 포함하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

지속되는 지구 온난화 현상으로 인해 해빙 속도가 가속화되면서, 북극 항로 활용의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 북극해의 지형과 해빙 상태를 모두 고려한 최적 북극 항로 계획 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저, 연료 소모량을 최소화하는 항로를 탐색하기 위해 북극 항로 계획을 각종 지표를 전산화한 최적화 문제로 정식화하였다. 또한, 해빙을 고려하기 위해 POLARIS 규정을 고려한 선박의 운항 제약 조건을 추가하였다. 제안된 방법을 이용해 최적 북극 항로를 탐색한 결과, 안전하고 경제적인 항로를 도출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Recently, global climate change has caused a catastrophic event in the Arctic Ocean, directly and indirectly. The air-sea interaction has caused the significant sea-ice reduction in the Arctic Ocean, and has been accelerating the Arctic warming. Many scientists are worried about the Arctic environment change, suggesting that many of anomalous events will produce direct or indirect biophysical effects on the Arctic. The aim of this study is to understand the inter-annual variability of the Arctic Ocean in wide-view using multi-satellite-derived measurements. Sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice concentration (SIC) data were obtained from Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) and ECMWF ERA-Interim, respectively. Chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) was obtained from Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Aqua sensor from MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS-Aqua) sensor which has continuously observed since 1998. From 1998 to 2016 summer in the Arctic Ocean which was defined as regions over $60^{\circ}N$ in this study, there were three consequences that CHL increase ($0.15mg\;m^{-3}\;decade^{-1}$), SST warming ($0.43^{\circ}C\;decade^{-1}$) and SIC decrease ($-5.37%\;decade^{-1}$). While SST and SIC highly correlated each other (r = -0.76), a relationship between CHL and SIC was very low ($r={\pm}0.1$) because of data limitations. And a relationship between CHL and SST shows meaningful results ($r={\pm}0.66$) with regional differences.

This study suggests a method of alleviating global warming by the increase of the Earth surface albedo through Artificial Sea ice Increasing (ASI) over the Available Freezing Areas (AFA). The method is developed based on the fact that the large sea surface area in or near the Arctic and the Antarctic has no ice even though both water and air temperatures are below zero and the artificial sea ice generation is thus available. The mean energy of $0.85Wm^{-2}$, which was suspected of adding to the earth by the global warming effect was calculated to offset at once when the sea ice area about $4.09{\times}10^6km^2$ was additionally increased. In addition, three techniques for producing ice plates on the sea surface (using ships, installation apparatus, and floating matter such as Green Cell Foam) for ASI were proposed. According to the result of simple analysis using the energy balance model, when ASI was maximally operated only for 3 months (September, October, and November) over AFA, it is expected that the annual mean temperature of earth surface would be decreased about $0.11^{\circ}C$ in the following year. On the other hand, in case of generating the artificial sea ice in all four seasons, a risk of triggering snowball earth was detected.

Recently, active research on the Arctic Ocean has been conducted due to the influence of global warming and new Arctic ship route. Although previous studies already calculated quantitative extent of sea ice using passive microwave radiometers, melting at the edge of sea ice and surface roughness were hardly considered due to low spatial resolution. Since Sentienl-1A/B data in Extended Wide (EW) mode are being distributed as free of charge and bulk data for Arctic sea can be generated during a short period, the entire Arctic sea ice data can be covered in high spatial resolution by mosaicking bulk data. However, Sentinel-1A/B data in EW mode, especially in HV polarization, needs significant radiometric correction for further classification. Thus, in this study, we developed algorithms that can correct thermal noise and scalloping effects, and confirmed that Arctic sea ice and open-water were well classified using the corrected dual-polarization SAR data.

지구온난화로 2000년대 초부터 급격하게 감소하던 북극의 해빙이 2012년 이후로 다소 주춤한 상태로 돌아서고 있다. 그러나 최근 북극항로를 이용하는 선박의 척수와 화물량은 꾸준히 증가하고 있어 이 항로에 대한 세계적인 관심이 집중되고 있다. 중세의 문명의 교류가 오아시스 루트와 초원 루트 그리고 말라카 해협을 통한 해상실크로드를 통해 이루어진 것처럼, 장차 아시아와 유럽을 잇는 북극항로가 신해양실크로드가 될 것인지 북극을 둘러싼 여러 가지 상황을 살펴보고자 한다.

We extracted a surface displacement map of Canisteo Peninsula and the surrounding area in West Antarctica by applying 4-pass DInSAR technique to two ERS-1/2 tandem pairs and analyzed the surface displacement of glaciers and sea ice. In the displacement map, glaciers showed fast motion pushing the adjoining land-fast sea ice which has the displacement in the same direction as the glacier. Cosgrove ice shelf showed large displacement pushing the adjoining land-fast sea ice as well. Some sea ice indicated the displacement that is opposite to the land-fast sea ice. This was because the type of the sea ice is drift ice that is affected by ocean current. Therefore, we could confirmed the boundary between land-fast sea ice and drift ice. It was difficult to distinguish ice shelf from ice sheet because they showed similarities both in brightness of the SAR images and in fringe rates of the interferograms. However, a boundary between fast-moving ice shelf and stable ice sheet was easily confirmed in the displacement map after the phase unwrapping process.

The present study explored the rapid effect of low temperature on the freezing resistance of dehardening twigs of three apple cultivars and sweet cherry. The effect of low temperature was depending upon the thawing treatment following to the low temperature treatment. When the freezing temperature to $-9^{\circ}C$ for three hours followed by thawing treatment ($5^{\circ}C$) was given repeatedly twice, the low temperature increased apparently the cold hardiness of apple and cherry by 3 to $9^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, when the freezing temperature ($-9^{\circ}C$) for ten hours was pretreated without thawing, the low temperature appeared not affecting the cold resistance of the twigs. The role of freezing-thawing temperature cycle in nature was discussed as a signal of environmental stimulus to which dehardening plant may be responding to increase their cold hardiness so as to adapt against the damage of late frost in early spring.
