Radiometric calibration is a fundamental step in ocean color remote sensing since the step to derive solar radiance spectrum in visible to near-infrared wavelengths from the sensor-observed electromagnetic signals. Generally, satellite sensor suffers from degradation over the mission period, which results in biases/uncertainties in radiometric calibration and the final ocean products such as water-leaving radiance, chlorophyll-a concentration, and colored dissolved organic matter. Therefore, the importance of radiometric calibration for the continuity of ocean color satellites has been emphasized internationally. This study introduces an approach to improve the radiometric calibration algorithm for the visible bands of the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II (GOCI-II) satellite with a focus on stability. Solar Diffuser (SD) measurements were employed as an on-orbit radiometric calibration reference, to obtain the continuous monitoring of absolute gain values. Time series analysis of GOCI-II absolute gains revealed seasonal variations depending on the azimuth angle, as well as long-term trends by possible sensor degradation effects. To resolve the complexities in gain variability, an azimuth angle correction model was developed to eliminate seasonal periodicity, and a sensor degradation correction model was applied to estimate nonlinear trends in the absolute gain parameters. The results demonstrate the effects of the azimuth angle correction and sensor degradation correction model on the spectrum of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiance, confirming the capability for improving the long-term stability of GOCI-II data.

Aerosol lidar ratio (extinction-to-backscatter ratio) at 532 nm was determined using 4-year measurements of elastic-backscatter lidar and sky radiometer at Seoul National University of Seoul, Korea. The mean lidar ratio (with standard deviation) based on 4 years of measurements is found to be $61.7{\pm}16.5$ sr, and weak seasonal variations are noted with a maximum in JJA ($68.1{\pm}16.8$ sr) and a minimum in DJF ($57.2{\pm}17.9$ sr). The lidar ratios for clean, dust, and polluted conditions are estimated to be $45.0{\pm}9.5$ sr, $51.7{\pm}13.7$ sr, and $62.2{\pm}13.2$ sr, respectively. While the lidar ratio for the polluted condition is appears to be consistent with previous studies, clean and dust conditions tend to have larger ratios, compared to previous estimates. This discrepancy is thought to be mainly due to the anthropogenic aerosols existing throughout the year around Seoul, which may cause increased lidar ratios even for clean and dust conditions.

To investigate seasonal variations of soil solution chemistry, samples were collected from zero tension lysimeters in O, A, and B horizons of 26-year-old Larix leptolepis. Pinus koraiensis and Quercus mongolica stands in Kwangju, Kyunggi Province from September, 1996 through June. 1999. Potassium, $Mg^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, and $No_3\;^-$ concentrations increased in October and November concurrent with inputs of fresh litterfall and twigs. Sodium, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$, and $Mg^{2+}$ concentrations increased in March and April concurrent with the yellow sand effect. Potassium concentration showed the highest variation among ions, and $Cl^-$ concentration showed positive correlations with $K^+$ and $Mg^{2+}$ concentrations. Soil solution pH decreased while $Al^{3+}$ and $K^+$ concentrations increased during the study period. If our data reflects long term trends. then $Al^{3+}$ concentration in the O horizon will reach the toxic level (0.180 meq/l) within 10-20 years depending on species.

This study investigates the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of seasonal salted-Kimchi cabbages to provide basic data on its uniform quality. Generally, seasonal salted-Kimchi samples had different pH values at initial storage periods, but there was no difference in pH between the seasonal samples when stored for longer periods. The samples from the fall and winter seasons were relatively low in acid and high in solid soluble content compared to samples from other seasons. Salted-Kimchi cabbages in the summer showed the highest microbiological number compared to samples from other seasons. In the sensory evaluation, there were differences in the appearance, aroma, and taste, depending on seasonal samples at different storage periods. The correlation coefficient between the quality characteristics in the seasonal samples showed a positive or negative correlation between the quality characteristics at 1% significant level. In the principal component analysis, F1 and F2 were shown the 51.81% and 14.23% of the total variance (66.21%), respectively. In the PCA pattern of seasonal salted-Kimchi cabbages during storage periods, winter samples were distributed on the top of F2, spring samples were in the middle of F2, while the rest of the samples were distributed on the bottom of F2. According to increasing storage periods, initial storage samples were distributed at the left of F1, while other samples were located at the right of F2.

Recently, occurrence frequency of extreme events like flood and drought is increasing due to climate change by global warming. Especially, a drought is more severer than other hydrologic disasters because it causes continuous damage through long period. But, ironically, it is difficult to recognize the importance and seriousness of droughts because droughts occur for a long stretch of time unlike flood. So as to analyze occurrence of droughts and prepare a countermeasure, this study analyzed a meteorologic drought among many kinds of drought that it is closely related with precipitation. Palmer Drought Severity Index, Standard Precipitation and Effective Drought Index are computed using precipitation and temperature material observed by Korean Meteorological Administration. With the result of comparative analysis of computed drought indices, Effective Drought Index is selected to execute frequency analysis because it is accordant to past droughts and has advantage to compute daily indices. A Frequency analysis of Effective Drought Index was executed using boundary kernel density function. In the result of analysis, occurrence periods of spring showed about between 10 year and 20 year, it implies that droughts of spring are more frequent than other seasons. And severity and occurrence period of droughts varied in different regions as occurrence periods of the Youngnam region and the southern coast of Korea are relatively shorter than other regions.

Hydrological system forecasting, which is the short term runoff historical data during the limited period in dam site, is a conditional precedent of hydrological persistence by stochastic analysis. We have forecasted the monthly hydrological system from Andong dam basin data that is the rainfall, evaporation, and runoff, using the seasonal ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) model. Also we have conducted long term runoff simulations through the forecasted results of TANK model and ARIMA+TANK model. The results of analysis have been concurred to the observation data, and it has been considered for application to possibility on the stochastic model for dam inflow forecasting. Thus, the method presented in this study suggests a help to water resource mid- and long-term strategy establishment to application for runoff simulations through the forecasting variables of hydrological time series on the relatively short holding runoff data in an object basins.

일차생산은 화학합성 또는 광합성에 의하여 무기탄소가 유기물질로 전환되는 것을 의미한다. 한강은 하류로 갈수록 유속이 느리지만 수심이 깊어져 부착조류가 서식하기 쉽지 않은 환경이기에 대부분의 일차생산자는 식물플랑크톤이다. 선행연구와 비교 결과, 한강 본류의 부영양화가 여름철에 발생하고 있으며 팔당댐 방류량과 지류의 유입에 의한 유기물 증가로 하천 내 1차 생산의 기여도가 증가하고 있고, 이는 유기물 근원을 판정하여 수질오염에 대한 처리대책을 위해 지속적으로 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 한강본류에서 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산력을 조사하고, 유기물의 분해속도를 측정하여 당해 유역의 유기물 수지를 추정하여 한강 고유의 특성과 지류에서 기인할 수 있는 부영양화 기여도를 파악하여 부영양화에 의한 유기물 증가로 발생할 수 있는 수질오염을 예측하고자 한다. 조사유역은 한강의 팔당댐 방류구로부터 신곡수중보까지 전 구역 중 총 12개의 지점을 선정하였다. 기간은 2021년 5월부터 2022년 3월까지 계절별 2회로 총 8회 조사를 실시하였으며, 한강본류에서는 식물플랑크톤의 산소소비법을 통해 일차생산력과 유기물 분해속도를 조사하여 내부기원 유기물을 측정하였고, 한강본류로 유입되는 4개의 유입하천에서는 COD를 조사하여 외부기원 유기물을 측정하여 한강에서 발생하는 총유기물량을 산정하였다. 연구 결과, 하류 지점으로 갈수록 일차생산량이 점차 중가하였으며 지천이 유입되는 안양천, 탄천지점에서 유기물분해 속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 이는 수온 상승으로 인한 미생물 활성도가 높아져 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산량이 증가한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 여름 조사 전 강우에 의한 팔당댐 방류량 증가로 인해 식물플랑크톤 현존량이 다른계절에 비해 비교적 낮았지만, 호수의 부영양호 기준보다 높게 나타나 부영양한 수체로 판단하였다.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the growth characteristics, seasonal distribution and botanical composition of wildflower pastures. The experimental wildflowers were 34 species (1 turfgrass species, 4 native wildflower species and 29 introduced wildflower species). The experiment was administered in the Chungnam National University experimental field from October, 2007 to December, 2009 and the result is as follows: The length of the wildflowers was within the range of 7-52 cm and they bloomed into six to ten colors but the species of blooming wildflowers and flower colors and blooming periods were simplified during from August to November. Their tendencies were obviously observed two years later (2009) but among them especially the colors, seasonal anthesis distribution and continuation of wildflower became a problem. The botanical composition of wildflowers, turfgrass, and weeds came to 20%, 67%, and 13% each one year later (2008) and two years later (2009) 16%, 72%, and 12% each. Being grounded upon this result, in case of wildflower pastures of autumn seeding, it is more important to maintain the color, seasonal distribution, and permanence of wildflowers occurring due to annual wildflower reduction after wintering in two years, let alone in the establishment year.

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.
