The present paper studied neurosecretory cell types and their seasonal secretory activity in the eyestalk of Palaemon macrodactylus. The samples were monthly collected in Nakdong estuary for one year. The eyestalk consisted of lamina ganglionaris, medulla externa medulla interna, and medulla terminaris. four types of neurosecretory, A-, B-, C- and D-cells are found in the eyestalk. The A-cells are located in the medulla externs. Althoush the B- and C-cells are located in the medulla interna and medulla terminalis, B-cells are predominant in medulla interna and C-cells are usually distributed in medulla terminaris. The size of D-cells are larger than other types of cells in size. The neurosecretory cells except D-cells show a remarkable change with month. The A-, B-, and C-cells are activated from March and April to July, and decreased at August.

Based on the observation of the microwave radiometers at Cheongju, Hapcheon and Daegwallyeong in Korea, the precipitable water vapor and liquid water path have been analyzed for spatio-temporal characteristics. The observed datas have been validated by comparing precipitable water vapor between the microwave radiometer and the radiosonde near the sites. It resulted in the correlation coefficient of more than 0.8 in all three sites. For three regions, the precipitable water vapor shows similar seasonal variation and diurnal cycle, and that amount of precipitable water vapor increases from around 1000 LST and has a maximum value at 1900 LST. On the other hand, the liquid water path of microwave radiometer has regional differences for its seasonal variation, which seems to be caused by the geographical characteristics including the frequent fog and clouds in Daegwallyeong, a high mountain region (834 m from sea level), almost flat land in Chengju, and Sobaek Mountains in Hapcheon that blocks the westerly clouds.

A total of 60 species of benthic macrofauna was collected by a grab sampler in the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay, Korea. The dominant group was Polychaeta which was composed of 32 species. The dominant species were Platynereis bicanaliculata, Cirriformia tentaculata, Lumbrineris longifolia, and Cirratulus cirratus which accounted for approximately $63.7\%$ of the total numbers of benthic macrofauna. Seasonal variations in both species composition and abundance of the benthic macrofauna were major characteristics in the study area. Seasonal peak of number of species and abundance occurred in summer. And the lowest abundance occurred in winter. Seasonal dominant species were Platynereis bicanaliculata, Cirriformia tentaculata, Lumbrineris longifolia in spring and summer, and Cirratulus cirratus, Capitella capitata, Opisthobranchia in fall.

Despite of the same species there is a difference in the tree shape and its wood property due to quantitatiVe and qualitatiVe differences in wood cells by the intra-annual cambial actiVity. The purpose of this study was to proVide the fundamental database of intra-annual cambial seasonal actiVity for red pine in Sokwang-ri and Anmyondo for the determination of their wood qualities. As the results of intra-annual cambial actiVity, the initiation of cambial actiVity of red pine in the plots with Age Class V in Sokwang-ri was in the middle of April and it was at the beginning of April in all plots in Anmyondo. Only the plots with Age Class IX in Sokwang-ri showed relatiVely late initiation of cambial actiVity as between middle of May and middle of June. Except one plot with Age Class IX in Sokwang-ri all plots in both sites showed the same cessation of cambial actiVity as between middle and end of October. According to intra-annual cambial actiVity, the duration of cambial actiVity in Sokwang-ri is shorter than that of Anmyondo. On the other hand, the number of cell diVision of cambial actiVity in Sokwang-ri was more than those of Anmyondo. We could establish the database for intra-annual cambial actiVity for Sokwang-ri and Anmyondo to estimate their wood quality.

The optimization of long-range ensemble climate prediction for rice phenology model with advanced bias correction method is conducted. The daily long-range forecast(6-month) of mean/ minimum/maximum temperature and observation of January to October during 1991-2021 is collected for rice phenology prediction. In this study, the concept of "buffer period" is newly introduced to reduce the problem after bias correction by quantile mapping with constructing the transfer function by month, which evokes the discontinuity at the borders of each month. The four experiments with different lengths of buffer periods(5, 10, 15, 20 days) are implemented, and the best combinations of buffer periods are selected per month and variable. As a result, it is found that root mean square error(RMSE) of temperatures decreases in the range of 4.51 to 15.37%. Furthermore, this improvement of climatic variables quality is linked to the performance of the rice phenology model, thereby reducing RMSE in every rice phenology step at more than 75~100% of Automated Synoptic Observing System stations. Our results indicate the possibility and added values of interdisciplinary study between atmospheric and agriculture sciences.

From March 1998 to August 2000, the phonology and morphometrics change of Zostera caespitosa Miki were examined at the Duksan Port in the eastern coast of Korea. Morphometric characteristics (shoot height, leaf length, sheath length, leaf width, and number of leaf per shoot), size and number of reproductive structures (spathe, spadix, and seeds), shoot density, biomass and physiochemical parameters (water temperature and nutrient concentrations) were measured. Significant differences between months (p < 0.05) existed for morphometric characteristics except for sheath length. The sequence of shoot heights clearly showed cyclical annual variation with water temperature. Vegetative shoots of Z. caespitosa were present throughout the year, but reproductive shoots were rarely occurred from mid January to early April in water temperature of $9-12^\circ{C}$. Flowering in the spathe began in mid February, and seed maturing was occurred in early April. Water column nitrate and phosphate concentration showed seasonal variation, but ammonia concentration was variable with season. Relationships between shoot morphometrics and physiochemical parameters were not significantly correlated but water temperature seemed to regulate the re-productive phase and annual life cycle. The mean shoot density and above biomass of the populations were $511.6\pm{25.6}\;shoots\;m^{-2}$ and $413.4\pm{19.8}\;g\;dry\;wt\;m^{-2}$, respectively.

내성천은 경북 북부지역을 흐르는 모래하천으로 계절적 변동이 큰 수문학적 특성에 반응하여 발달하는 모래 하상의 역동성과 이른바 '화이트리버'라고 하는 경관상 고유성이 대표적인 하천이다. 하지만, 2010년부터 영주댐이 건설되기 시작하였고, 2015년 전후로 식생이 광범위하게 활착하는 등 하천 변화가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 변화를 객관적으로 분석하기 위해 영주댐 하류내성천을 대상으로 장기 모니터링을 실시하였으며 이 논문은 2012~2018년 기간에 대해 기상 수문 수질, 하도 형태, 하천 지형 및 식생 등 다각적인 측면의 조사 자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사 방법으로는 자료 수집, 수위계 운영, 드론/지상 사진 촬영, LiDAR 항공측량, 현장 조사 등을 포함되었다. 장기 모니터링을 통해 발견한 주요한 사실들은 다음과 같다. 2015년은 1982년 다음으로 심한 가뭄이 발생하였으며 이로 인해 여름철 첨두유량은 50년래 최저를 기록하였다. 내성천 하도의 식생 활착은 1987년부터 시작되었으며, 2013년 이전에는 하류 구간에서, 그 이후로는 전체 구간에서 식생 활착이 발생하였다. 그 중 일부 지점은 홍수로 인해 재나지화 되었으나 여러구간은 목본이 활착하였고, 퇴적으로 인해 하도의 형태 변화가 발생하기도 하였다. 내성천은 모래 하상의 본질적 특성을 유지해 왔지만, 최근 약간의 조립화 경향이 나타났으며, 조사 단면에서 최심하상의 저하가 관찰되었다. 조사 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 내성천에 나타난 변화는 주로 가뭄에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 이와 함께 영주댐이 하도 변화에 미친 영향에 대해 고찰하였다.

This study examined the relationship between the initiation timing typhoon season in the Northwestern Pacific and the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) using a numerical simulation. The initiation timing of the typhoon season is closely associated with SSTs over the Indian Ocean (IO) and the eastern Pacific (EP) in the preceding winter and early-spring. The experiment based on the Weather and Research Forecast (WRF) model showed that the start date of the typhoon season is delayed for about one month when the SSTs over the IO and the EP increase in the preceding winter. The forced tropical SST pattern induces anticyclonic anomalies in the Northwestern Pacific, which is an unfavorable condition for typhoon development, and hence it could delay the initiation of the typhoon season.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to know seasonal distribution of group A streptococci obtained from one center using emm genotyping and T serotyping in Masan from 2003 through 2004. Methods : Among children who visited the Changwon Fatima Hospital at Masan, Korea from June 2003 through February 2004, 100 patients who had clinical findings of acute pharyngitis, scarlet fever, and cellulitis were confirmed as GAS by culture, and were enrolled in our study. All obtained GAS were sent to the WHO Collaborative Center for Reference and Research on Streptococci, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis for T serotyping and emm genotyping. We classified these results again according to seasonal and disease's entities. Results : 19 different T serotypes was typed. T4(27.5%), T1(17.6%), T6(13.7%), and T12(13.7%) serotypes were relatively common in summer, while T4(28.3%), T12(15.2%), and T12/B3264(8.7%) were common in winter. T4 and T12 were persistent all year around. Distribution of T serotypes in 89 patients with pharyngotonsillitis were T4(26.7%), T12(14.0%), T1(12.8%), and T6(11.6%) in order of frequency. 15 different emm genotypes was typed. The number of emm 1, emm 6, emm 9, and emm 44 genotypes decreased or disappeared in winter, and the number of emm 3, emm 12, and emm 89 genotypes increased or reappeared in winter. Conclusion : Because T serotyping and emm genotyping are useful tools for evaluating epidemiology and pathogenesis of group A streptococci, we should monitor these strains every year, and should serotype and genotype GAS obtained from the invasive streptococcal infections.
