We have monitored nutrients, chlorophyll, suspended solids, and salinity in the Keum Estuary to understand the temporal fluctuation of oceanographic parameters and to illustrate any variation due to the gate operation of the Keum River Dike from June, 1995 to September, 1996, approximately for 500 days. Tidal range is used as the key factor to explain the fluctuations and atmospheric parameters such as air temperature, wind velocity and rainfall are also used supplementally. The fresh water discharge was selected as another major impact on the estuarine environment due to the gate operation of the Keum Dike. In addition, daily variation by tidal cycle was investigated twice in April and July, 1996. In diurnal variation, salinity was positively correlated with tidal elevation, whereas negatively correlated with nutrients. Relatively high suspended solid and chlorophyll contents were found in the period between high and low tide. In 500 days continuous observations, salinity was negatively correlated with the volume of fresh-water discharge, but positively correlated with nutrients. A major chlorophyll bloom occurred in spring. A similar pattern of variation was observed between suspended solid and the neap-spring tidal cycle. In comparison with the data of the Keurn Estuary before the gate operation of the Keum River dike, fresh-water discharge predominated other environmental factors during the rainy season. In addition, the velocity of tidal current and the concentration of suspended solid were decreased, while nutrients and chlorophyll contents were increased.

Surface currents were observed by high-frequency (HF) radars off the Keum River estuary from December 2008 to February 2009. The dataset of observed surface currents had data gaps due to the interference of electromagnetic waves and the deteriorating weather conditions. To fill the data gaps an optimal interpolation procedure was developed. The characteristics of spatial correlation in the surface currents off the Keum River estuary were investigated and the spatial data gaps were filled using the optimal interpolation. Then, the temporal and spatial distribution of the interpolated surface currents and the patterns of interpolation error were examined. The correlation coefficients between the surface currents in the coastal region were higher than 0.7 because tidal currents dominate the surface circulation. The sample data covariance matrix (C), spatially averaged covariance matrix with localization ($C^G_{sm}$) and covariance matrix fitted by an exponential function ($C_{ft}$) were used to interpolate the original dataset. The optimal interpolation filled the data gaps and suppressed the spurious data with spikes in the time series of surface current speed so that the variance of the interpolated time series was smaller than that of the original data. When the spatial data coverage was larger (smaller) than 70% of the region, the interpolation error produced by $C^G_{sm}$ ($C_{ft}$) was smaller compared with that by C.

CTD, light transmission and tidal current data obtained off the Keum estuary in August, 1991 and 1992 were analyzed to look into the plume movement and the vertical structure of the plume changing with tidal currents. When the river plume was developed by a localized torrential downpour, the initial plume showed a surface lens of low salinity in the section south of the Yeon-Do. The axis of surface lens moved with tidal currents which flows mainly northeastward and southwestward tn the study area and the excursion of the lens axis reached 7 km. The plume during the ebb period showed a symmetric lens structure of low salinity which extends vertically to 3 m below the surface. During the flood period the plume deepened to 6 m below the surface in its northen side forming a sharp salinity front, which results in an asymmetric lens. We suggest that the salinity front with deepened plume moved to the north repeatedly, resulting in temperature increase and salinity decrease in the northern region off the estuary. When the river discharged continuously the large volume over 20 days, the plume forming surface lens extended to the Sybidongpa-Do and deflected to the north.

We conducted a seasonal field survey to analyze the distribution patterns of a phytoplankton community and biological oceanographic characteristics in the Geum river estuary in 2018. The results showed that the phytoplankton community consisted of 58 genera and 116 species, showing a relatively simple distribution. It was controlled by diatoms at 70.2%, a low number of species in winter and spring, and a high number in summer and autumn. The phytoplankton cell density ranged from 10.0 to 2,904.0 cells mL^-1, with an average layer of 577.2 cells mL^-1, which was low in autumn and high in winter. The seasonal succession of phytoplankton dominant species was mainly centric diatoms from winter to summer, including Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii, Cerataulina bergonii, and Skeletonema costatum-ls in winter, S. costatum-ls and C. bergonii in spring, and Eucampia zodiacus and Th. nordenskioeldii in summer. However, the autumn species depended upon the regions, with the inner bay dominated by the centric diatom, Aulacoseira cf. granulata, the mixed areas by S. costatum-ls, and the open sea by the dinoflagellate, Lingulodinium polyedra. According to principal component analysis (PCA), the phytoplankton community was greatly affected by the inflow and expansion of freshwater, including high nutrients, which are introduced annually through the rivermouth weir in Geum river estuary. However, the estuary, which is strongly affected by annual freshwater, was limited to areas near Geumran Island, which is adjacent to the river-mouth weir.

본 연구에서는 최근 기후변화에 따른 가뭄으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 충청남도 서부권의 물 부족을 해결하기 위하여 금강 본류로부터 보령댐으로 일정 유량을 도수(diversion)하는 계획이 금강 본류에 미치는 수리적 영향을 검토하였으며 특히 금강 본류의 농공용수 취수에 제한을 초래할 수 도 있는 수위에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 공간적 범위는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 하류 외해 방향으로 약 9km 지점에 위치한 금강 하구로부터 상류 방향으로는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 약 76km 지점에 위치한 공주시 반포면 검상동의 검상천 합류지점까지 총 85km에 이르는 구간에 대한 1차원 수리 모형을 구축하였으며, 시간적 범위는 보령댐으로의 도수가 갈수기에 이루어지는 것으로 가정하여 2015년 2월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 진두수위표의 시간별 유량과 8개 지천의 유입 유량, 장항검조소의 시간별 조위, 농공용수 취수시설 취수량 및 회귀수, 금강 배수갑문 운영 등을 고려하여 모형의 보정을 실시하였고, 유황분석에 따른 2016년 갈수기 예측 유량을 추정하여 보령댐으로의 도수에 따라 금강 본류 내 주요 구간의 수위에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였으며, 서해안 조위에 따른 금강하굿둑 배수갑문의 운영에 직접적인 영향을 받는 배수위 구간임을 감안하여 비정상류 해석(unsteady flow analysis)을 수행하였다. 갈수기 예측 유량 추정 결과 2015년과 같은 가뭄이 지속될 경우, 2016년의 유황은 2015년 대비 21%로 분석되었으며 이는 보령댐 도수 여부에 관계없이 물 부족이 발생할 수 있는 상태인 것으로 분석되었고, 하천유지유량 정도의 유황이 유지되는 상태에서 보령댐으로 도수를 실시할 경우, 도수시 금강호 최저 수위는 각각 EL(+)0.94m와 EL(+)0.72m로 모의되어 농업용수를 비롯한 기존 취수시설 뿐만 아니라 보령댐 도수시설의 운영에도 어려움이 생길 것으로 예상되었다. 2016년 갈수기 동안 과업 대상 구간인 금강 하류부의 유황은 농업용수 취수가 본격화되기 이전인 2월에는 하천유지유량 정도의 유황을 유지하는데 별 어려움이 없지만 3월 이후농업용수 취수가 본격화되면 농업용수 취수시설이 집중된 입포수위표 ~ 금강 하굿둑 사이 구간은 하천유지유량 이하로 유량이 크게 감소할 것으로 예상되었다.

To examine the movement of the freshwater discharged artificially into the estuary during ebbing period in the Keum River dike we observed surface salinity variations in three stations along the estuary channel in May 1998 and July 1997 and surface temperature and salinity along the ferry-route between Kunsan and Changhang during eighteen days in July 1999. Based upon the typical features of observed salinity variation, we analyzed the excursion and decay processes of the discharged water. When freshwater is discharged, the low-salinity water forms strong salinity front over the entire estuary width, which basically moves forth and back by tidal modulation along the channel, producing the sudden change of surface salinity with the front passage. Salinity distribution along the channel, which is deduced from time variation of mean salinity over the estuary width, after one tidal period from gate operation suggests that diluted low-salinity water is trapped to the front and surface salinity increases gradually toward the upstream region. This frontal distribution of salinity is interpreted to be produced by the sudden gate operation supplying and stopping of freshwater within about two hours. Daily repeat of freshwater discharge produces separation (double front) or merge between decaying and new-generated fronts depending on dike-gate opening time, and the front decays with salinity increasing if the freshwater supply is stopped more than two days. In addition, the observed fluctuations and deviations in surface salinity variation is explained in terms of the differences of fronts intensity, their transition time and temporal salinity front running along the channel, which can be generated due to artificial gate-operation for the discharging time and water volume in the estuary dike.

The main purpose of this study were to estimate the benthic fluxes of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) from the sediment and denitrification rates in tidal flats of the Keum river estuary. Sediment specimens were collected by a core sampler from three stations along the Keum river estuary in April, August and December, 1999. The sediments were composed of 1.18 %, 29.34 % and 69.49 % of gravel and sand, sand and silt, respectively. The mean ignition loss of the sediment was found 6.7 % and its Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) was measured -12 mV. The total hydrogen sulfides was determined about 0.26 mg/gㆍdry. The estimated outflux of ammonium was found 11.2 m mole N/m²ㆍday from the sediment, whereas -1.09 m mole N/m²ㆍday of influx was obtained for nitrate and nitrite through the incubation experiment of sediment cores. Total DIN flux was 10.2 m mole N/m²ㆍday outflux from the sediment. From the incubation experiments executed with the flux studies, mean denitrification rate was found 30.6 m mole N₂/m²ㆍday measured by the direct assay of N₂ production technique. On the basis that DIN flux and denitrification rate in sediment of tidal flat of the Keum river estuary are may be effects to control the algal biomass in the coastal environment, it seems inevitable to pay more attention to investigate the flux of DIN and denitrification rate in tidal flat of the Keum river estuary.
