최근 지구환경변화에 의한 이상기후현상으로 수자원을 안정되게 확보하고, 확보된 수자원의 이용 효율을 극대화하기 위한 방안들이 절실하게 요구되고 있으며, 수자원 이용효율 극대화의 일환으로 댐간 연결사업이 대두되고 있다. 그러나, 유역이 다른 두 댐을 인위적으로 연결할 경우 그 영향을 최소화하는 방책들이 필요하며, 특히 홍수기 발생하는 탁수의 댐간 이동문제는 중요한 검토항목 중 하나이다. 댐에 저류된 물은 기후조건(기온, 일사량 등), 유입수의 수질조건(수온, 탁도 등)의 영향으로 밀도분포를 형성하게 되고, 이는 시간적, 공간적으로 변화하게 된다. 일반적으로 여름철에는 수면으로부터 열에너지가 공급되어 댐 저수지 상하부에 큰 수온차가 발생하여, 강한 수온 밀도성층이 형성된다. 이 수온 밀도성층은 여름철 발생하는 홍수의 규모에 따라 파괴 또는 유지되며, 댐내 탁도분포는 다양하게 변화하게 된다. 강한 수온 밀도성층을 파괴하기 힘든 중소규모의 홍수가 유입할 경우에는, 밀도성층 하부로 탁수가 유입하여 장기간 댐내에 채류하게 되며, 이를 선택적으로 취수하여 방류하지 않으면 계절적인 수온변화에 저수지 전역으로 확산되어, 늦 가을 맑은 날 저수지내 물이 탁해지는 현상이 발생한다. 한편, 홍수규모가 클 경우는 홍수유입과 동시에 수온 성층이 파괴되어 저수지 전체로 탁수가 확산되며, 홍수초기부터 신속하게 방류하지 않으면 홍수 후 맑은 날 탁수가 방류되는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 탁수장기화 현상은 댐 유지관리 선진국에서는 철저하게 관리되고 있다. 따라서, 댐 연결사업 추진 시에는 홍수사상별 댐 저수지내 탁수거동을 정확하게 분석하고, 특히 취수설비가 댐본체에서 분리되어 댐 저수지내 임의의 지점에 위치 할때는 취수설비 계획지점 전면의 탁수 거동현상을 고려하여 고탁수의 댐간 이동을 최소화 할 수 있는 설비 운영계획을 수립하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 EFDC의 댐 수리 및 수질예측모형을 이용하여 댐의 탁수모델을 구축하였으며, 고탁수가 발생하는 유역의 댐에서 취수한 물을 다른 댐으로 공급하게 될 경우, 방류지역의 댐에 미치는 영향을 평가 분석하였다. 총 6개의 홍수사상('99년 홍수, '02년 루사, '03년 매미, '06년 에위니아, '09년 홍수 등)을 선정하여, 방류지역 댐의 탁수 거동해석을 실시하였다.

대명천지 밝은 낮에 졸음을 느껴 본적 있으신지, 월요일 아침 일찍 잠에서 깨기 어려운 적이 있으신지? 사람들은 잠을 잘 자야 한다는 것은 알고 있지만 잠이 음식이나 물, 공기처럼 우리가 살아가는데 필수적으로 꼭 필요하다고 실감하고 있는지 모르겠다. 믿어 줄 사람이 있을지 모르겠지만 잠은 역동적인 행동이다. 1950년대 까지는 잠이란 우리가 살아가는 하루 중에 일부로서 그저 수동적인 휴면 상태쯤으로 알고 있었다. 그렇지만 잠을 자는 중에도 우리의 뇌는 아주 활발하게 활동하고 있다. 더구나 잠이 우리의 일상 기능과 신체적, 정신적 건강에 다방면으로 영향을 주고 있다는 것이 알려지기 시작했다.

The sound wave in the sea propagates under the effect of water depth, sound velocity structure, sea surface and bottom roughness, and bottom sediment distribution. In particular the sound velocity structure in shallow water varies with time and space, an? the sediment distributes very variedly with place. In order to investigate the seasonal variation of low-frequency sound propagation in the Yellow Sea, the propagation experiments were conducted along the same track in the middle part of the Yellow Sea at various seasons of spring. summer, and autumn. In this paper we consider the measurement results on the propagation loss with the sound velocity structure, and investigate the seasonal variation of the propagation loss. As a result, the propagation losses measured in summer were larger than the losses in spring and autumn. And the propagation losses measured in autumn were smaller than the losses in spring. The seasonal change of the propagation loss increased with the rise of sound frequency and the propagation range.

In this study, we developed strategies for pre-processing GNSS data for the purpose of separating geodetic factors from crustal deformation due to the earthquakes. Before interpreting GNSS data analysis results, we removed false signals from GNSS coordinate time series. Because permanent GNSS stations are located on a large tectonic plate, GNSS position estimates should be affected by the tectonic velocity of the plate. Also, stations with surrounding trees have seasonal signals in their three-dimensional coordinate estimates. Thus, we have estimated the location of an Euler pole and angular velocities to deduce the plate tectonic velocity and verified with geological models. Also, annual amplitudes and initial phases were estimated to get rid of those false annual signals showing up in the time series. By considering the two effects, truly geodetic analysis was possible and the result was used as preliminary data for analyzing post-seismic deformation of the Korean peninsula due to the Tohoku-oki earthquake.

Seasonal and year-to-year variations of water quality were observed at six stations in Mokpo Harbor area between 1997 and 2004. Water quality(salinity, pH, DIN and DIP) was variable between years. Salinity was significantly low in 1998, while nutrient concentrations were significantly higher in 1998 than other years. Water temperature, salinity, DO, COD and DIP concentrations exhibited clear seasonal variations, and these seasonal trends reflected seasonal changes in fresh water discharge from Youngsan river mouth. Water temperature, COD and DIP were significantly higher in August, while salinity and DO reached minimum values in August. In the station 1(Youngsan river mouth), waters with low salinity are subject to high nutrient inputs from Youngsan river, while in the station 6 (outside from Mokpo harbor) waters are primarily oceanic Relationship between water quality parameters indicates that salinity is the primary factor influencing the COD, DO, pH, Chlorophyll a and nutrient concentrations in Mokpo harbor area.

The performance of a novel fermentation process, adopting a sludge blanket type configuration for higher hydrolysis/acidogenesis of the municipal primary sludge, was investigated under batch and semi-continuous conditions with various pH and temperature conditions. This acid elutriation slurry reactor provided higher system performance with a short HRT (5 days) and higher acidogenic effluent quality under pH 9 and thermophilic ($55^{\circ}C$) conditions. The hydrolysis of the sludge was revealed to be significantly dependent on seasonal effects for sludge characteristics but with little impact on acidogenesis. Based on the rainy season at the optimum conditions, VFA production and recovery fraction ($VFA_{COD}/COD$) were $0.18\;g\;VFA_{COD}\;g^{-1}\;VSS_{COD}$ and 63%. As byproducts, nitrogen and phosphorus releasing were $0.006\;g\;N\;g^{-1}\;VSS_{COD}$ and $0.003\;g\;P\;g^{-1}\;VSS_{COD}$, respectively. For the mass balance in a full-scale plant($Q=158,880\;m^3\;day^{-1}$) based on the rainy season, the VFA and non-VFA(as COD) production were $3,110\;kg\;VFA_{COD}\;day^{-1}$ and $1,800\;kg\;COD\;day^{-1}$, resulting in an increase of organics of $31\;mg\;COD\;L^{-1}$ and $20\;mg\;VFA_{COD}\;L^{-1}$ and nutrients of $0.7\;mg\;N\;L^{-1}$ and $0.3\;mg\;P\;L^{-1}$ in the influent sewage. The economical benefit from this process application was estimated to be about $67 per $1,000m^3$ of sewage except for energy requirements and also, better benefits can be expected during the dry season. Also, the results revealed that the process has various additional advantages such as pathogen-free stabilized solids production, excellent solids control and economical benefits.

At gas stations, liquid fuels expand and contract in volume owing to temperature variations. In Korea, the ambient temperature varies between $-15^{\circ}C$ in winter and $35^{\circ}C$ in summer. The volume expansion coefficients of liquid fuels are about $0.1%/^{\circ}C$. To investigate this issue, we measured daily changes in fuel temperature and the delivered fuel temperature at gas stations. In addition, we scrutinized the daily, monthly, and annual changes in temperature over past 50 years in Korea. The results show that the temperature of the fuel in the storage tank was maintained at a stable value(summer or winter). Many factors, such as the surrounding conditions, fuel filling frequency, and gas station location, influence the delivered fuel temperature. The results of this study can be applied for establishing a national regulation and will contribute to fair transactions.

The Chongok karst cave which is located in Donghae-city, has high tourist and educational value due to existence of many doline(sink hole). Whereas this cave is easy to approach for the tourists, because this cave is located near the downtown, a high environmental riskiness such as sewage flowing has been also involved. In study, we observed the variation of water quality with long-term monitoring and investigated the possibility of existence of impact factor to water eco-system and determined the proper long-term monitoring factor among many monitoring criteria. The groundwater quality was maintained in the range of about $14^{\circ}C$ in temperature, over 10mg/l in dissolved oxygen and 7-8 in pH, so the impact factor in water eco-system was not observed. The guide line to make sure of tourist safety was determined to 60mm/d as daily rainfall. The conductivity was suggested to main factor for long-term monitoring main factor and pH/turbidity was suitable for the supplementary factor. For the seasonal variation monitoring, ORP was recommended.

The joint cruises of six times between Korea and China were carried out for a better understanding of the environmental and oceanographical characteristics of the Yellow Sea for 6 years from 1998 to 2003. Zooplankton samples were collected one time per year at 24 stations on 3 lines of the Yellow Sea. The aim of this study is to understand the seasonal fluctuation of zooplankton community in the Yellow Sea. There is no trend on the spatio-temporal distribution of zooplankton. Copepoda, the major taxon of the Yellow Sea, was high in distribution in the eastern part and Chaetognatha in the western part of the Yellow Sea. In this results, the dominant copepods were Calanus sinicus, Paracalanus parvus s.l., Oithona atlantica, and Corycaeus affinis during the study periods. The density fluctuation of these dominant species may be an important factor in determining the fisheries resource of the Yellow Sea.

Zooplankton was sampled vertically with a Norpac net from Gamag Bay in April, July, September and December, 2001. Copepods were predominant in April and December, and cladocerans in July and Noctituca scintillans in September, respectively. There are high spatio-temporal fluctuations in the abundance of zooplankton with a range of 22-17,197 indiv.$m^3$. In the copepod community, neritic species, Eurytemora pacifica, Acartia omorii, Centropages abdominalis and Calanus sinicus were predominant in April ; Labidocera rotunda and A. erythraea in July; A. erythraea and Paracalanus parvus s. 1. in September; A. omorii and E. pacifica in December. However, oceanic species Eucalanus sp. and Neocalanus sp. were abundant in September. It indicates that although Gamag Bay is semi-closed, the distribution pattern of zooplankton is seasonally strongly affected by oceanic waters in addition to neritic ones.
