In the Korea Strait total of 96 copepod taxa (40 genera) were identified from the seasonal and vertically stratified samples. Species richness was the highest in fall and the abundance was the highest in spring. Spatial differences were not significant within each season, but was meaningful among seasons. The water column layers of high abundances were near bottom in spring, and surface in summer and fall. Species association of copepods was examined by the cluster analysis. There are the two different results on the timing of the intrusion of East Sea Cold Water to the Korea Strait in the deeper layer based on physical data [in winter (Lee et al., 1938) vs in summer (Cho and Kim (1998)]. This study based on the distributional characteristics of copepods supported Cho and Kim (1998)'s result. Although sea water temperatures was one of major controlling factors of the copepod distribution in this strait, biological interrelation among the species such as common or exclusive exploitation of the habitat was also responsible for the observed distributional patterns.

Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) has the potential to increase the rates of genetic improvement in cattle. Thus this study was performed to investigate several factors influencing in vivo embryo production in Holstein cattle under field conditions. The donors were superovulated with Folltropin-V and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ combination method. From Day 10 onward, donors were superovulated by i.m., twice daily, administration of 400mg Folltropin-V given in a series of decreasing doses over a 4-day period: on the first day, 3.5ml; on the second day, 3.0ml; on the third day, 2.0ml; and on the fourth day, 1.5ml (20ml in total, equivalent to 400mg of NIH-FSH-P1). Estrus was induced by i.m. administration of 25mg prostaglandin $F_2{\alpha}$ on the sixth and seventh of FSH treatment. Estrus detection was performed twice daily beginning 24h after the first prostaglandin $F_2{\alpha}$ injection. Donor cows were artificially inseminated 12 and 24 h after first standing estrus with semen from a proven Holstein sire. Embryos used in this study were recovered Day 7.5 of the cycle (Day 0: first standing estrus). From 195 superovulated dairy cows, 2,104 eggs were recovered, of which 1,172 were classified as transferable embryos based on morphological evaluation of quality. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The numbers of recovered and transferable embryos did not significantly differ among the capacity of milk production that were < 10,000kg/305days (group 1), $10,000{\sim}12,000\;kg$/305days (group 2) or > 12,000kg/305 days (group 3) (p>0.05, Table 1). 2. No differences in the numbers of recovered and transferable embryos were found among the donor's postparient days (p>0.05, Table 2). 3. Also, the numbers of recovered and transferable embryos of each superovulation seasons did not significantly differ among the four groups (p>0.05, Table 3).

The Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus is a widespread species in the western North Pacific and major fishery resource. To understand the spatio-temporal variation of anchovy prey items in the coastal waters of southern Korea, the stomach contents of anchovy and the structure of the zooplankton community were analysed at three sites (Jindo, Yeosu and Tong-yeong) from July 2011 to February 2012. The main prey items in Yeosu and Jindo were cyprid stage of barnacle (>35%) and copepod Calanus sinicus (>22%) in July, respectively, while, predominant ones in Tongyeong were small copepods, Paracalanus parvus s.l. (41%) and Corycaeus affinis (22%). During this period, the dominant zooplankton were cladoceran Evadne tergestina (39%) in Yeosu, small copepod, P. parvus s.l. (28%) in Jindo and cladoceran E. tergestina (14%) in Tongyeong. The dominant prey items were barnacle larvae and copepods in summer, phytoplankton and Pseudodiaptomus marinus in autumn and P. parvus s.l. and cold water copepod, Centropages abdominalis in winter. Anchovy prefer the prey item C. sinicus (3%) over E. tergestina (39%), which was a dominant species in the catching site in summer. P. marinus (0.5%) and C. abdominalis (0.9%) were preferred over P. parvus s.l. (30%, 21%) in autumn and winter, respectively. Prey items varied with area and season in the coastal waters of southern Korea. These results suggest that the prey selectivity of anchovy showed high flexibility and adaptability in the study waters.

무한 지속 가능한 지열 에너지를 활용한 공조시스템인 지열원 냉난방 시스템은 기존의 공조 시스템보다 열원이 안정적이기 때문에 높은 효율과 우수한 성능을 가지므로, 기후변화협약 대응의 주요수단으로서 기술개발과 보급이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템에 대한 실증 연구를 통하여 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 하절기 냉방 성능을 분석하였다. 대수층 축열 냉난방 시스템은 주입정과 양수정의 2개의 우물공이 설치되어 있으며, 겨울 난방 운전 중에 한 개의 우물공으로부터 지하수를 열펌프로 유입한 후 낮은 온도의 지하수를 타 우물공에 축열하고, 하절기에 겨울에 저온으로 축열된 우물공으로부터 지하수를 열펌프로 유입하여 온도가 증가된 지하수를 타 우물공에 주입한다. 즉, 계절별로 열펌프에서 생성된 냉수와 온수의 대수층 축열을 위하여 계절별로 주입정과 양수정이 바뀌게 된다. 본 연구의 대수층 축열 지열원 열펌프 시스템의 2009년 8월의 주요일자별 시스템 운전 중의 평균 냉방 열펌프 유닛 COP와 냉방 시스템 COP는 각각 4.7과 3.4이상의 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 또한, 모든 일자에 대하여 외기온도가 $31.6^{\circ}C$서 $22^{\circ}C$까지 변화가 크게 나타났지만 열펌프 유닛 COP와 시스템 COP의 변화는 미소하였다. 이는 양수정으로부터의 지중 순환수가 운전기간 중에 $17.5^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지되었기 때문이다. 양수정과 주입정 사이에 5개의 관측공을 설치하였으며, 양수정 측에 인접한 관측공의 온도는 거의 변화가 없었으며, 단기간이지만 널리 사용되고 있는 수직밀폐형 시스템과 달리 지속적인 냉방운전 중의 양수 온도의 증가는 발생하지 않아 안정적인 성능을 나타냈다. 주입정에 인접한 모니터링 홀의 온도는 심도가 깊은 곳의 온도가 낮은 곳보다 높게 나타났다. 이는 냉방 운전 시 열펌프 유닛의 실외열교환기에서 지중 순환수가 냉매로부터 열을 취득하여 온도가 상승하면서 주입정측에 온열이 축열이 진행되었기 때문으로 분석되며, 하절기의 냉방 운전 시간이 증가할 경우 축열 효과는 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 양수정과 주입정 중간의 모니터링 홀의 온도는 2009년 8월 가동 중에 온도변화는 없었는데, 이는 양수정과 주입정 사이의 열간섭이 발생하지 않았기 때문으로 분석된다. 일자별로 운전 중의 열펌프 유닛 COP는 차이가 없었지만, 운전 및 정지 시간을 모두 포함한 시스템 소비전력과 냉방용량을 모두 합산하여 산정한 일일 평균 냉방 열펌프 유닛 COP와 냉방 시스템 COP는 일자별로 다소 차이가 발생하였는데, 이는 각 일자별로 열펌프 유닛 가동율의 차이로 인하여 열펌프 유닛 가동 전에 먼저 작동되는 지중순환펌프의 운전 소비전력의 차이와 열펌프의 단속운전 시의 열손실과 추거 소비전력의 차이 때문이다.

In order to elucidate the ecological and phenological responses of bean under global warming situation, we investigated leafing and flowering phenomena and growth traits of Baktae and Seomoktae in control plot (ambient $CO_2$ concentration and temperature) and warmed plot (elevated $CO_2$ concentration and increased temperature than control) in green house. Average $CO_2$ concentration and temperature were set 540 ppm in treatment and higher $2.2^{\circ}C$ in treatment than control. The appearance of leaf unfolding and the initiation of blooming and fruit maturing in Seomoktae were late in treatment than control. In case of Baktae, the number of total pods and seeds per plant in treatment was fewer than that in control. For Seomoktae, the number of total pods per plant and weight of total seeds per plant were decreased in treatment than in control. Thus, the number of pods and seeds of Baktae declined and the production of Seomoktae was decreased under global warming condition. This result indicates that site selection and crop yield for cultivating of the bean may be changed into new area due to global warming condition.

Spatio-temporal distribution of soil moisture was studied to improve understanding of hydrological processes at hillslope scale. Using field measurements for three designated periods during the spring, summer and autumn seasons in 2010 obtained from Beomryunsa hillslope located at the Sulmachun watershed, correlation analysis was performed between soil moisture measurements and 18 different terrain attributes (e.g., curvatures and topographic index). The results of correlation analysis demonstrated distinct seasonal variation features of soil moisture in different depths with different terrain attributes and rainfall amount. The relationship between predicted flow lines and distribution of the soil moisture provided appropriate model structures and terrain indices.

Seasonal succession of algae and water quality parameters were studied in artificial reservoirs in Daegu city from 2000 to 2001. The algal succession was evaluated with respect to dom-inant class and their frequencies. Succession order of algae in two reservoirs was : Bacillariophyceae longrightarrow Chlo-rophyceae longrightarrow Cyanobacteria longrightarrow Bacillariophyceae longrightarrow Bacillariophyceae longrightarrow Cyanobacteria longrightarrow Cyanobacteria longrightarrow Cyanobacteria. This succession order was different from other studies. The local environment condition maybe affects the succession of algae in these reservoirs. As result of correlation analysis between algal biom-ass and water quality parameters, we got low correlation coefficients. Also we got low correlation coefficients between chlorophyll-a and algal biomass. Between chlorophyll-a and water quality parameters, we got high correlation coefficients. An approach having attention to cell biovolume rather than cell number is made to understand the algal community and the ecosystem of reservoir.

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.

The study used a seasonal ARIMA model to forecast the number of tourists to Kyeongju foreign in a uni-variable time series. Time series monthly data for the investigation were collected ranging from 1995 to 2010. A total of 192 observations were used for data analysis. The date showed that a big difference existed between on-season and off-season of the number of foreign tourists in Kyeongju. In the forecast multiplicative seasonal ARIMA(1,1,0) $(4,0,0)_{12}$ model was found the most appropriate model. Results show that the number of tourists was 694 thousands in 2011, 715 thousands in 2012, 725 thousands in 2013, 738 thousands in 2014, and 884 thousands in 2015. It was suggested that the grasping of the Kyeongju forecast model was very important in respect of how experts in tourism development, policy makers or planners would establish marketing strategies to allocate services in Kyeongju as a tourist destination and provide tourism facilities efficiently.

The seasonal predictability of typhoon activity over the western North Pacific is investigated using an atmospheric general circulation model GCPS. A ten-member ensemble with different initial conditions is integrated for five months using observed sea surface temperature data for each year from 1979 to 2003. It is shown that the monthly variation of occurrence frequency of simulated tropical storms and the distribution of tropical storm genesis location are similar to those of observed tropical storms, but the model is unable to reliably predict the interannual variation of the occurrence frequency of tropical storms. This is largely because the observed relationship between tropical storm occurrence frequency and ENSO is different from the simulated one. Unlike the observation, in which the tropical storm occurrence frequency has no relation to ENSO, the model has a tendency to generate more (less) tropical storms than normal during El Nino (La Nina). On the other hand, the interannual variation of the mean longitude of tropical storms that shows a close connection with ENSO in both observations and simulations is simulated similar to the observation.
