Marine total magnetic intensity over the southern part of the Ulleung Basin and geomagnetic data measured at a land base station are analyzed. Fourteen days observation of geomagnetic field at a fixed on-land base station showed how the geomagnetic field around the study area behaves. geomagnetic data at the base station can also be used as correction data for a diurnal variation. Magnetic anomalies in the study area do not reflect an effect of sea bottom topography but mainly subsurface basement. The southern part of the Ulleung Basin can be devided into two zones according to a different anomaly pattern; along the coastal shelves the isolated anomalies with a short wave and a strong amplitude are dominant, and toward the open sea the anomalies become much more subdued. The high anomaly zone adjoined to land is interpreted to be caused by granitic intrusives or volcanic rocks, and the weak anomaly zone to the outer sea to be arisen from an existence of deep basement. A spectrum analysis is applied to estimate magnetic basement depths from three anomaly profiles with a long period and a weak amplitude toward the outer sea. The calculated depths are 7.0km, 5.0km, and 2.6km respectively from outer profile. The basement might be correlated with the mixed layer of tuff, basalt, and sediment, which had been defined as L-2 layer in the Yamato basin and the Japan Basin.

The prediction of changes regarding the distribution of vegetation and plant species according to climate changes is important for ecosystem management. In this study, we attempted to develop an assessment method to evaluate the possibility of the potential distribution of warm-temperate woody plant species of East Asia in Korea. To begin with, a list of warm-temperate woody plants distributed in China and Japan, but not in Korea, was prepared, and a database consisting their global distribution and bioclimatic variables was constructed. In addition, the warm-temperate vegetation zone in Korea was delineated using the coldness index and relevant bioclimatic data were collected. After the exclusion of multicollinearity among bioclimatic variables using correlation analysis, mean temperature of the coldest quarter, mean temperature diurnal range, and annual precipitation were selected as the major variables that influence the distribution of warm-temperate plants. A multivariate environment similarity surfaces (MESS) analysis was conducted to calculate the similarity scores between the distribution of these three bioclimatic variables in the global distribution sites of the East Asian warm-temperate woody plants and the Korean warm-temperate vegetation zone. Finally, using stepwise variable-selection regression, the mean temperature of the coldest quarter and annual precipitation were selected as the main bioclimatic variables that affect the MESS similarity index. The mean temperature of the coldest quarter accounted for 88% of the total variance. For a total of 319 East Asian warm-temperate woody plant species, the possibility of their potential distribution in Korea was evaluated by applying the constructed multivariate regression model that calculates the MESS similarity index.

Impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems range from changes in physiological processes of aquatic organisms to species distribution. In this study, MaxEnt that has high prediction power without nonoccurrence data was used to simulate fish distribution changes in the Geum river watershed according to climate change. The fish distribution in 2050 and 2100 was predicted with RCP 8.5 climate change scenario using fish occurrence data (a total of 47 species, including 17 endemic species) from 2007 to 2009 at 134 survey points and 9 environmental variables (monthly lowest, highest and average air temperature, monthly precipitation, monthly lowest, highest and average water temperature, altitude and slope). The fitness of MaxEnt modeling was successful with the area under the relative operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.798, and environmental variables that showed a high level of prediction were as follows: altitude, monthly average precipitation and monthly lowest water temperature. As climate change proceeds until 2100, the probability of occurrence for Odontobutis interrupta and Acheilognathus yamatsuatea (endemic species) decreases whereas the probability of occurrence for Microphysogobio yaluensis and Lepomis macrochirus (exotic species) increases. In particular, five fish species (Gnathopogon strigatus, Misgurnus mizolepis, Erythroculter erythropterus, A. yamatsuatea and A. koreensis) were expected to become extinct in the Geum river watershed in 2100. In addition, the species rich area was expected to move to the northern part of the Geum river watershed. These findings suggest that water temperature increase caused by climate change may disturb the aquatic ecosystem of Geum river watershed significantly.

This study was carried out to identify the factors affecting the distribution of suitable habitats for Geranium carolinianum, which was naturalized in South Korea, and to predict the changes of distribution in the future. We collected occurrence data of G. carolinianum at 68 sites in South Korea, and applied the MaxEnt model under climate change scenarios (SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5). Precipitation seasonality (bio15), mean temperature of warmest quarter (bio10), and mean temperature of driest quarter (bio09) had high contribution for potential distribution of G. carolinianum. According to climate change scenarios, high suitable habitats of G. carolinianum occupied 6.43% of the land of South Korea in historical period (1981~2010), and 92.60% under SSP2-4.5, and 98.36% undr SSP5-8.5 in far future (2071~2100).

In this study, an analytical model has been developed to predict the build-up of heat field due to a point heat source in the presence of sharp cross-flow depth change. The model has been applied to investigate the effect of the depth change and flow pattern on the heat field. Model results show that, when there is a sharp depth change in cross-flow direction, the heat transport across the boundary of the depth change is enhanced or diminished according to the increasing or decreasing of the horizontal diffusion flux. Including residual components as well as tidal currents give rise to reduce the effect of the horizontal diffusion on the heat transport because of increasing the advection of heat.

기후변화에 따른 태풍, 집중호우 등에 의해 설계홍수량을 능가하는 크기의 홍수가 발생하여 큰 피해를 입는 경우가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 기후변화를 고려하여 예측한 미래의 강우자료에 의한 홍수량의 설계가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 기후변화를 고려해 예측한 미래의 강우자료에 기초한 설계 홍수량을 산정하고, 이를 기존의 설계 홍수량과 비교분석하는데 있다. 대상지구는 이동저수지 유역을 선정하였고, HEC-GeoHMS를 이용해 대상지구의 유역자료를 추출하였다. 설계홍수량 추정을 위한 과거 강우자료는 수원기상대의 1964년부터 2011년까지의 자료기간을 수집하여 사용하였으며, 미래의 강우자료는 기상청 국가표준 기후변화 시나리오에서 제공하는 자료를 사용하였다. 수집된 강우자료를 바탕으로 FARD2006의 Gumbel 분포와 모멘트법을 적용하여 빈도별 확률 강우량을 각각 산정하였다. 산정된 빈도별 확률강우량을 수원지역의 Huff 분포에 적용해 시간별 강우분포를 구한 후 HEC-HMS의 Clark 단위도법을 이용하여 빈도별 홍수량을 각각 산정하여 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 미래 강우자료에 의한 홍수량 설계의 필요성을 입증하고, 이를 바탕으로 다른 대상 지구에 대해서도 적용하여 미래의 홍수량 예측에 따른 설계빈도 설정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

기후변화와 변동으로 인한 기상이변이 갈수록 심각해지고 발생 빈도도 잦아짐에 따라 현재의 배수관련 사회기반시설(Drainage Infrastructure)이 이런 문제에 대처할 준비가 잘되어 있는지에 대해 의문점이 제기되고 있다. 현재의 배수관련 사회기반시설의 설계는 이른바 정상성(stationarity)이라는 가정 하에 강우의 강도(Intensity), 지속기간(Duration), 빈도(Frequency)의 관계를 나타내는 I-D-F 곡선을 주로 이용하기 때문에 기후변화로 인한 극치사상(extremes)의 유의한 변화를 나타낼 수가 없다는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 기후변화는 극한기후(climatic extremes)의 특성을 비정상성(nonstationarity)이라 일컫는 개념으로 바꾸고 있기 때문에 배수관련 기반구조 설계(Drainage Infrastructuredesign)의 기본 가정의 하나인 강우 통계 매개변수의 정상성은 기후변화의 시대에는 더는 유효하지 않을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비정상성을 고려하여 조건부 GEV 분포를 이용하여 지속시간별 확률강우량 과비정상성 I-D-F 곡선식을 유도하였다. 또한, 분포형 홍수유출모형인 S-RAT(Spatial Runoff Assessment Tool)을 이용하여 강우강도의 증가가 설계 최대유량(design peak flows)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 지속기간별 차이는 있었지만 고빈도로 갈수록 전반적으로 현행 I-D-F 곡선이 실질적으로 극한강수를 과소평가하고 있으며 정상성 I-D-F 곡선 작성 방법이 기후변화의 배수관련 기반구조물의 능력설계에 적합지 않을 수도 있음을 제시하였다.

In order to elucidate temporal variations of temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), suspended particulate matter (SPM), dissolved inorganic nutrients, and chlorophyll a, we performed 25-hour continuous monitoring in the Seomjin River Estuary in March (dry season) and July (rainy season) 2006. We also investigated spatial variations of marine environmental parameters across a saline gradient. In the Seomjin River Estuary, continuous monitoring results revealed that salinity variations were mainly affected by tidal cycle in the dry season and by river discharge in the rainy season. In the dry season, the spatio-temporal distribution of dissolved inorganic nutrient (nitrate, nitrite, and silicate) concentrations showed a good correlation with tidal cycle. While nutrient concentrations in rainy season showed not much variance in time. There were 6 and 4 times higher dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the rainy season than those in the dry season, respectively. Silicate concentration was 43 times higher in the rainy season than that in the dry season. Chlorophyll a concentration was higher in the dry season than that in the rainy season showing high nutrient concentrations. The results of this study, spatio-temporal variations of marine environmental factors are determined by both tidal cycle and river discharge. It seems that chlorophyll a concentration is related to the river discharge than dissolved inorganic nutrient distribution.

This study investigated the seasonal and inter-annual changes in vertical distribution and size spectrum of walleye pollock, Gadus chalcogrammus inhabiting middle eastern coast of Korea (hear after pollock). Pollock was distributed between 50 m and 600 m depth range, and body size (total length) ranged from 16.6 cm to 81.5 cm. The trends of population body size were increased in autumn and winter and decreased in spring and summer. Vertical distribution of pollock showned depth-dependent patterns with distributing smaller individuals mainly in the upper layer (shallower depth), while larger fish in deeper habitats. Those patterns in vertical distribution of pollock population is probably due to be the results of energy-saving strategy, metabolic effects, and changes in prey selections according to pollock growth, derived from spatial and temporal changes in oceanic condition in habitat grounds. When water temperature in upper layer were increased and that of below thermocline depth became decreased in 2017, the ratio of smaller (<35 cm) and larger (≥35 cm) individuals was biased toward larger fishes, extending their distribution into shallow depth, and consequently main fishing ground was formed in far from coastal area. In addition, the ratio of smaller individual distributing between 100~300 m was increased with decreasing temperature gradient between below thermocline and bottom layer. Changes in spatial and temporal distributions of pollock population likely be related with vertical and horizontal changes in oceanic conditions and, consequently food supplies.

국내 도시는 1960년대이후의 산업화에 따라 인구와 산업이 도시로 집중되어 급속하고 거대한 성장을 이루었고 대기오염 현상의 다양화, 복합화로 인해 스모그와 시정장애 등 새로운 오염현상이 심각해지고 있다. 도시지역 대기중의 오염물질 농도수준은 오염 배출원의 분포 및 배출강도 그리고 지역의 지형, 기상 요인 등 많은 요인에 따라 좌우된다. 특히, 대도시는 경제ㆍ사회ㆍ문화 등 다양한 요소들이 복합적으로 상호 작용하는 유기체적인 공간으로 특정 지역에로의 집중과 분산이 일어나면서 다양한 공간구조(예; 신시가지, 산업단지 등)를 만들어 가고(이광국 등) 이런 변화에 따라 대기오염의 공간적 분포 경향 역시 달라져 갈 것이다.
