Distribution of wind direction and wind speed is very important from the viewpoint of ship's safety because it is closely related to the formation and development of sea wave. In this study, the climatological characteristics of monthly wind distribution in a greater coasting area of Korea are analyzed by the ECMWF objective analysis data for the period from 1985 to 1995{11 years). Distributions of wind direction from October to March are very similar and wind speed is strongest in January. The NW'ly and WNW'ly winds at a latitude of 30 degrees N and northward and the NE'ly wind in the Straits of Taiwan and the South China Sea are sustaining and very strong. Distributions of wind direction from June to August are similar and the SW'ly and SSW'ly winds in the South China Sea are strong. The strong Southeast trades exists in the winter hemisphere{Southern Hemisphere). Wind speeds in April, May and September are generally weak.

The seasonal mean wind direction and wind speed in a greater coasting area are investigated using the ECMWF(European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) data for 11 years from 1985 to 1995. In winter, the main wind direction in Korea and vicinity, Taiwan and vicinity, and the North Pacific Ocean of middle latitudes is a northwesterly wind, northeasterly wind, and westerly wind respectively. The wind speed is strongest in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Pacific Ocean of low latitudes(Beaufort wind scale 5-6). A distribution pattern of wind direction in spring and fall is similar to that in winter. Seasonal mean wind speed is strongest in winter and the next is fall. The wind speed in summer is generally weak. However, that in the Indochina and vicinity is strong by the influence of Asian monsoon.

O(1)의 상하류지역에서 점근해를 가지고 $O(Re^{-3/8})$구역내에서 유동변화를 동반하는 유동문제는 트리플 덱(triple deck)을 적용하여 풀 수 있다. 예를 들면, 아주 완만한 모서리, 작은 돌출부(hump), 작은 구덩이(trough), 높이가 낮은 계단(step), 디퓨우저(diffuser)등과 같이 국소적으로 $O(Re^{-5/8})$규모의 기하학적 변화를 가지는 평판위의 유동문제등이다. 이하, 수치계산결과를 바탕으로 각종 유동문제에 대한 적용예를 살펴보기로 한다.

본 연구에서는 한국 동해 대륙붕 해역에서의 주요 해양현상인 수직 수온구조의 단기변동, 수온전선, 그리고 내부파의 변동을 분석하고 이들 변화에 따른 음파의 음장변화를 고찰하였다. 한국 동해항 근해에서 수온의 수직적 변화는 계절적인 변화 이외에 약 2주간의 짧은 기간에도 매우 극적인 변화가 존재함이 실측자료를 통해 밝혀졌다. 1999년 관측된 CTD 자료를 바탕으로 음장 변화를 살펴본 결과 주파수 1kHz, 음원수심 $30{\cal}m$ 인 경우 수신기 수심에 따라 최소 3dB, 최대 10dB까지 차이를 가져올 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한국 동해에서 연안과 외해 사이에는 수온전선이 매우 자주 발달하며 여름에 가장 강한 것으로 알려져 있다. 동해항 근해에는 대표적인 수괴인 대마난류수와 북한한류수가 공존하며 이들의 상대적인 세력 변화 때문에 수은(음속)이 거리에 따라 급격하게 변하는 수온전선이 발달할 수 있다. 저주파수 대역 (200Hz)에 대한 간단한 시뮬레이션 결과는 수온전선이 정상적인 분포에 비해서 거리에 따라 7dB 정도의 큰 전파손실을 초래할 수 있음을 보인다. 한국 동해 연안에도 내부파가 존재한다는 사실이 최근 3년간의 연구 결과 밝혀졌다. 내부파는 외해에서 발생하여 대륙단을 거쳐 대륙붕으로 진행해 오면서 내부파 군 (Packets)으로 분산된다. 수직적 변화가 전체 수층의 $14\%$를 차지하는 간단한 형태의 내부파를 가정하여 음장변화를 시물레이션 한 결과 주파수 1 kHz, 음원수심 $20{\cal}m$인 경우 내부파는 수렴구역 형성을 현저하게 방해하여 최대 5dB까지의 차이를 유발하였다. 추후 이에 대한 연구는 내부파 전체의 시,공간적 분포 특성이 구체적으로 규명되면 보다 정확한 음장변화 추정이 이뤄져야 할 것으로 보인다. 또한 내부파와 음파의 상대적인 진행 방향에 따라 음장변화가 크게 다를 것이 예상되므로 이를 규명하기 위해서는 궁극적으로 3차원적인 음장분포 연구가 필요하다. 음향센서를 해저면에 매설할 경우 수충의 수온변화와 센서 주변의 수온변화 사이에는 어느 정도의 시간지연이 존재하게 되므로 이에 대한 영향을 규명하는 것도 센서의 성능예측을 위해서 필요하리라 사료된다.

Multivariate analyses has been performed on both qualitative and quantitative data of phytoplankton samples collected off the coast of Kunsan in October, 1980, and in March, 1981. The result shows that structure of the phytoplankton cmmunity largely depended on hydrological conditions. Thus the study area can be divided into three phyto-hydrographic zones; the waters under influence of the proper water of the Yellow Sea, the waters where mixing with fresh water occurred, the waters from the south. Biomass was estimated of plasma volume and cell carbon content. The mean value of cell carbon was 30.0$\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$ in October and 26.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$ in March. Relatively low value of biomass seems to be related to great turbidity of the area. Microflagellates of about 5$\mu\textrm{m}$ were abundant with a density of million cells per liter. Their abundance showed on considerable seasonal variation.

The maximum sustained yield (MSY) of shellfish caught through dredge fishery was 7,250 to 7,490 MT from 1990 to 1999, which was not affected by the construction of the Saemangeum Dike. The MSY from 2000 to 2016, under the influence of the dike, was 1,716 to 1,776 MT when the total annual fish catch was 1,000 MT or more, and 289 to 336 MT when it was less than 1,000 MT. The construction of the Saemangeum Dike led to a decrease in the catch volume of the offshore dredge fishery in Jeollabuk-do, to 4.2 to 23.7% of that before its construction. The allowable biological catch (ABC) was estimated to be 313 to 1,532 MT per year, which was about 72.3 to 94.3% less than before the construction of Saemangeum Dike. Currently, the dredge fishery in Jeollabuk-do relies on comb pen shells. For fishery management, the catch per vessel should be set at 51.0 MT/year or less, and the number of fishing vessels should be reduced to 22 as quickly as possible. Besides, in the long term, the number of current fishing vessels should be reduced to less than half in consideration of the comb pen shell collecting period in Jeollabuk-do.

We reviewed investigation status on turbidity plume in the statement of marine environmental survey(2008 to 2012) associated with marine sand extraction projects. The survey statement from seven marine sand extraction sites (extraction area of Southern EEZ, extraction area of Western EEZ, relocation zone in the Western EEZ, sea area under jurisdiction of Taean-gun, sea area under jurisdiction of Ansan City, and two discrete sea areas under jurisdiction of Ongjin-gun) in the nearshore and offshore of Korea showed that in situ observations were carried out for the dispersion and transport of suspended sediments on two areas (One is a extraction area in the EEZs, the other is an area of coastal sites). However, sampling station and range have not been selected considering physical, geographical factors (tide, wave, stratification, water depth, etc.) and weather conditions (wind direction and velocity, fetch, duration, etc). Especially turbidity plumes originating from three sources, which include suspended sediments in overflow(or overspill) discharged from spillways and reject chutes of dredging vessel, and resuspended sediments from draghead at the seabed, may be transported to a far greater distance outside the boundary of the extraction site and have undesirable impacts on the marine environment and ecosystem. We address that behaviour of environmental pollutants such as suspended solids, nutrients, and metals should be extensively monitored and diagnosed during the dispersion and transport of the plume. Finally we suggest the necessity to supplement the current system of the sea area utilization consultation and establish the combined guidelines on marine sand extraction to collect basic data, to monitor cumulative effects, and to minimize environmental damages incurred by the aftermath of sand extraction.

Any significant inflow of fresh water due to flood or snow melting can rapidly reduce salinity at the bay. In such a case, the habitat environment in the sea near river mouth can be partly destroyed. Therefore, research to understand the salinity distribution quantitatively at the bay for the utilization of natural environment and for the inhabitant conservation must be very important. In this study, the investigation on the relationship between satellite image and turbidity is carried out first, and then the salinity distribution at the bay using the relationship between turbidity and salinity is derived. The main results are as follows. First the reappearance ability of RGB bands respectively of the satellite image is investigated, and then it was confirmed that the combination of band2 and band3 expressed best the movement characteristics of turbid water at the bay is chopped up into 4 small areas. Second the turbidity of river mouth is estimated using the travel time from the upward monitoring station to the river mouth. Finally the satellite image is converted into the salinity distribution by the correlation of salinity and turbidity. It is confirmed that the salinity distributions obtained from above three investigation methods are quite reasonable and clear.
