전 지구적 기후변화는 대기-해양의 물리 특성을 변화시켜, 연안 및 하구의 수온상승과 염도 변화의 주요 원인이 되며, 생태 환경 및 다양한 경제 사회 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 변화를 예측하고 영향을 최소화 하기위해서는 연안의 물리 특성을 세밀하고 정확하게 예측해야 한다. 그러나, 기후변화의 영향을 고려한 대기-해양 전 지구모델의 기후변화 시나리오는 우리나라와 같이 작고 복잡한 연안 지형을 가진 지역의 미래 환경 변화 예측에 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 저해상도 정규격자 모형인 RIAMOM(RIAM Ocean Model)의 결과를 이용하여 비정규격자 모형인 FVCOM(Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model)으로 울산만의 미래 물리 특성 변화를 상세 예측하였다. 기후변화로 인한 대기-해양의 물리 특성 변화를 고려하여 한국 주변해 및 연안을 대상으로 모의한 RIAMOM의 결과를, 본 연구의 대상 지역인 울산만 FVCOM 모델 경계에 초기 값과 시계열 자료로 사용하였다. FVCOM 모의 결과를 RIAMOM 자료와 비교 했을 때, 초기 표층 염분과 수온이 각각 0.4%, 2%의 오차를 보였다. 조위는 개방경계에서 01~0.4% 정도의 오차가 나타나, 다운스케일링(downscaling) 기법을 통한 수치 모의 결과가 초기 수온과 염분 및 조위 특성을 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 2001년(현 상태), 2050년(미래), 해수면 상승의 영향을 고려한 2050년에 대하여 모의 한 결과. 정규격자 모형인 RIAMOM에서 나타나지 않았던 기후변화로 인한 표층 염분과 수온의 상세한 변화가 울산만의 태화강 하구에서 나타났고, 염수쐐기의 길이 또한 상류쪽으로 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 다운스케일링을 통한 대상 지역의 상세 모델을 통해 기존의 예측 모델에서도출할 수 없던 결과를 나타낸 바, 향후 연구를 통해 지역의 장기 상세 환경 변화 예측에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

Experimental studies oil the density currents were made in order to investigate their hydraulic conditions in the estuary. Interfacial forms in the flow direction became sharply with increasing densimetric Froude number in the estuary which arrested saline wedge exists. Interfacial thicknesses were almost constant in the open channel, while they abruptly increased out of channel and they also decreased as overall Richardson number increases. Densimetric Froude number of river mouth showed that it was not necessarily 1.0 and varies with the upper layer thickness. On the other hand, water level there tended to increase with increasing relative densities. It is observed in the Sumjin River Estuary that a strong density front has been formed between freshwater and ocean waters.

This study applies 3-D N-S solver based on PBM (Porous Body Model), LED-WASS-3D ver 2.0 to directly analyze non-linear interaction of seawater-freshwater-coastal aquifer in order to simulate the seawater infiltration into coastal aquifer. This numerical simulation is the first trial in Korea, as well as unusual and new numerical analysis abroad. Firstly, to validate the applied numerical model, the validity and effectiveness was verified for the numerical model by comparing and considering it with the result of laboratory experiment for seawater-freshwater interface in coastal aquifer. And then it simulated the seawater infiltration into coastal aquifer considering the changed levels of seawater and groundwater in order to analyze the distribution characteristics of flow field and seawater-freshwater interface of coastal aquifer as the level difference between seawater and groundwater and rate of seawater level (${\Delta}h/h$) increased. In addition, the characteristics of seawater infiltration were analyzed from the vertical salinity in the coastal aquifer by ${\Delta}h/h$, which cannot be obtained from existing non-diffusion numerical models. Finally, it analyzed the effect of ${\Delta}h/h$ on the seawater infiltration distance in coastal aquifer, which was indexed.

The purpose of salinity intrusion due to numerical simulation is analaysis for saline intrusion to the upstream channel in Nakdong River Estuary Barrage(NREB) to get enough fresh water. Conditions that occur salinity intrusion affect by tidal distribution at seas, so salinity concentration changes according to tidal phenomenon. Making this connection cleary can help preventing salinity intrusion. In this study, estimating salinity intrusion to the upstream channel in NREB using EOMSED model, we reexamine NREB's existence. Comparison is also made with observing data. In result, when inflow discharges at $75m^3/s$ is more similar with respect to observing data than $130m^3/s$ at ECOMSED model. Thus, estimations are more precise at little discharges than lots of discharges.

Saemangeum salt-water Lake has been created by the completion of the sea-dike in April 2006. To monitor the water qualities of the lake during the sea-dike construction, salinity, SS, nutrients(DIN, DIP, DISi), and chlorophyll-$\alpha$ was analyzed for the surface water from 1999 to 2007. Due to the dike construction, weaker tidal current and lesser resuspension of bottom sediment resulted in the marked decrease of the concentrations of SS in the lake water. Consequently the clearer lake water has provided better condition for primary production with deeper penetration of sunlight into the water column and sufficient nutrient content in the water. Finally the chlorophyll-$\alpha$ content became approximately double in the concentration after the dike construction. Highly stimulated algal production with the marked decrease of the concentrations of SS was decreased the concentration of DIP in the surface water. On the other hand the concentration of DIN and DISi in surface water was increased after dike construction due to the expansion of the freshwater and the supply from bottom layer. As a result, the lake revealed an extremely high NIP ratio and a DIP-limited ecosystem. The lake has been transformed from a typical coastal ecosystem to a brackish one. Since the dike completion, the lake has shown a similar change pattern to the Geum River estuary. Due to the salt-wedge intrusion of seawater, it is highly probable to expect the formation of low-oxygen zone at the bottom layer near the river-mouth area of the lake during the summer. Therefore we need a continuous sentinel monitoring of bottom water qualities in the near future.
