Field survey on the variational characteristics of water quality and chlorophyll a concentraion were carried out at the 25 stations for four seasons in Kogum-sudo(Straits) southern coast of Korean Peninsula from Feburuary to October in 1993. We made an analysis on biological factor as chlorophyll a concentraion as well as physicio-chemical factors such as water temperature salinity sigma-t transparency dissolved oxygen(DO) chemical oxygen demand(COD) nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) N/P ratio and suspended solid(SS). The waters in the Kogum-sudo were not stratified due to the tidal mixing. And the high productivity in photic layer were supported by high nutrients concentration from bottom waters. The high concen-trations of suspended solid in straits had a bad influence upon marine biology of nature and cultivations. In Kogum-sudo had a sufficient nutrients for primary productivity during a year. Especially phosphate and inorganic nitrogen were high the other side silicate was very low. The source of nutrients supply depend on rather mineralization of organic matters and input of seawater from outside than input of freshwaters from lands. Phytoplankton biomass as measured by chlorphyll a concentratiion was very high all the year round and it was controlled by the combination o f several environmental factors especially of phosphate in summer and dissolved nitrogen in other seasons.

Spatial and temporal analysis of water quality was performed for eleven monitoring stations in Dongjin River watershed in order to determine the trends of monthly water quality. The monthly water quality data of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) during $1995{\sim}2004$, were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphic approaches. The results indicated that BOD and TN concentrations had the downward trend, but TP showed the upward trend, especially in Gobucheon. This numerical and graphic analysis is the useful tool to analyze the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.

The physico-chemical characteristics and the concentrations of chlorophylls of coastal seawater were investigated to know the seasonal variations of biological oceanographic environments in the Islands of Ullungdo(U) and Dokdo(D). The samplings of sea water according to different depths were performed four seasons (May, June, August and November) in five stations along the coast of Ullungdo Island and 3 times (June, August and November) in three stations around the coast of Dokdo Island. The seasonal variations of sea water temperature showed that the formation of thermocline in August was distinct in comparison to the other seasons. The sea water in the surface was influenced by low temperature-high salinity in May and with high temperature-low salinity in the investigated area. The amount of seston was high in May (5.3-15.0mg/l) and was low in August (1.4-4.9mg/l) in ullungdo island. for the nutrients or sea water in Ullungdo Island, the concentrations of nitrate and ammonium were higher than Dokdo Island (nitrate-max. of U in August : 0.10-11.50$\mu\textrm{g}$/1, max. of D in August : 2.92-8.10$\mu\textrm{g}$/l : ammonium-max. of U in November : 14.18-20.69$\mu\textrm{g}$/l, max. of D in June : 0-1.78 $\mu\textrm{g}$/l). The high concen-tration of chlorophylls showed on the deeper layer from 30 m to 50 m in August (U 30 m : 0.85$\mu\textrm{g}$/l ; D 50m : 1.02 $\mu\textrm{g}$/l), while the concentrations of chlorophylls were even in May, June and November in the deeper layer of surface layer. In conclusion, the establishment of thermocline in deeper area of the euphotic layer in August was a trigger far the development of phytoplankton, while the complex physico-chemical system by diverse currents and vertical mixing of sea water in the area induced the even distribution of phytoplankton in both epilimnion and hypolimnion in May, June and November.

The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of types of crate and season on transport condition and mortality, and ultimately to identify the best practice for reducing economic lose. Total loading weight stocking density, transport and lairage times and mortality were surveyed from the management data sheet of two companies for each first week of January, April, August and October, An average loading weight, length of transport and lairage times and mortality were 3.9 ton, 96 min, 478 min and 0.6%, respectively. Mortality after lairage was not significant between two types of crate. In addition, container type crate showed higher loading weight and stocking density than box type one. Spring and winter had significantly higher mortality with 0.7 and 0.8%, respectively, then summer and fell of 0.5%. An interaction between crate type and season on mortality showed that mortality for box type on was higher in spring and winter with 0.8 and 0.7%, respectively, compared to summer and fall of 0,3 and 0.4% respectively. In the case of container type crate, spring, fall and winter had greatly different death into with 0.7, 0.5 and 0.8%, respectively, while there was no difference between spring and summer, and between summer and winter, Mortality after transportation was similar between both crate type, with higher rate for spring and winder than other seasons. The result was likely related to death of exposure due to extended waiting time without heating facility.

태풍은 남서부태평양 해상에서 생성되어 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에 강풍 및 폭우를 동반하여 상륙함에 따라 매년 수많은 인명 피해와 사회 경제학적 피해가 발생되고 있다. 또한 기후변화가 가속화됨에 따라 서북태평양지역의 기온상승 및 태풍 진로 해역의 열용량 증가로 인하여 태풍의 강도가 더욱 증가될 것으로 전망되고 있으며 한반도 역시 슈퍼 태풍에 대한 잠재적 위험에서 안전하지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 태풍에 대한 효율적인 치수 및 방재대책을 위해서는 객관적인 태풍자료 구축 뿐 아니라 한반도에 미치는 지역별, 계절별 태풍활동 및 태풍강우에 대한 정량적 분석을 실시하고자한다. 본 연구에서는 태풍강우 분리기법을 적용하여 한반도에 영향을 미치는 태풍강우 및 비태풍강우를 분리를 하였으며, 호우 특성에 따른 공간적 특성을 유형화하고 태풍정보를 고려한 비정상성 빈도해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 한반도에 영향을 주는 태풍에 대한 효율적인 치수 및 방재대책의 마련과 지역 내 사회기반시설 설계에 대한 기초 자료를 제공해 줄 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate characteristics and seasonal variations of carbonaceous species for $PM_{2.5}$ in Seoul metropolitan area, Korea, we measured organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) from January 2014 to December 2014 using a semi-continuous OC/EC Analyzer (Model-4, Sunset Lab.). Mean concentrations of OC and EC were estimated $4.1{\pm}2.7{\mu}g/m^3$ and $1.6{\pm}1.0{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The annual averaged OC/EC ratio was $2.9{\pm}2.7$. Concentrations of OC and EC comprised 13% and 5% of $PM_{2.5}$ and the mass fraction of both was the highest in fall. OC and EC showed similar trend in seasonal variations. Concentrations of those showed a clear seasonal variation with the highest in winter and the lowest in summer. The correlations between the two were the best during the winter ($r^2=0.88$). As results of carbonaceous species analysis, the dominant factor in view of fine particle ($PM_{2.5}$) is primary emission source such as mobile, fossil fuel combustion during commute time(08:00~10:00 or 17:00~21:00) and winter season. Continuous monitoring of atmospheric carbonaceous species is essential to provide the science-based data to policy-maker establishing the air quality improvement policy.

The seasonal variations of the rate and intensity of metacercarial infection of C. sinensis in P. parva were observed. The fish were collected at Sun-Am River which located in Kim-Hae City, Kyong-Sang Nam Do (=Province), Korea, from March 1983, to February 1984 every month. A total of 788 fish was examined. The number of metacercariae in each fish was individually counted after the individual digestion by artificial gastric juice. The results were as follows: 1. During one year, 513 (65.1%) out of 788 fish were infected with metacercariae. In May, June, July and September, the infection rates ranged from 82.0% to 98.6% whereas the rates was relatively low in March, April, November and February ranging from 11.4% to 64.7%. 2. The intensity of infection was similar with those of infection rates. The mean intensity per infected fish was 103.0 and standard deviation was 118.9 throughout one year. The highest mean intensity was in June (294.8) and the lowest in November (11.1). 3. The observed frequency of fish with certain intensities of metacercariae were fitted to theoretical equations derived from negative binomial distribution in March, April, November and February (p>0.05). Meanwhile, the equation of lognormal distribution were fitted with the observed frequencies in May, June, July and September (p>0.05, p>O. 75). The variance/mean ratio varied by month. The value was the highest in July (814.3) and the lowest in November (158.8). Unlike our hypothesis, the metacercarial density of Clonorchis sinensis in its the most favorable fish host, Pseudorasbora parva showed considerable seasonal variations in the hyperendemic area. The possible factors were discussed.
