The impact of freshwater discharge on plankton was investigated in a semi-closed Cheonsu Bay during the rainy season. Field observations for environmental factors (seawater temperatures, salinities, chlorophyll a concentrations and nutrient concentrations) and zooplankton sampling were carried out from June 27 to September 1, 2012 at about 10 days interval. The relationship between the measured parameters and estimated values of zooplankton abundance were examined. After freshwater discharge, nutrient concentrations increased up to about twice and resultant increase of chlorophyll a followed within about 10 days. Both positive and negative impacts on zooplankton were observed. Positive one was the numerical response of zooplankton on this increased food supply, and negative one was the increased mortality caused by sudden changes in salinity. Maximum mortality of copepods was found to be up to 40%, although fast sinking of carcass made it difficult to estimate reliable mortality caused by salinity shock.

대청댐은 준공이후 현재까지 37년의 수문자료가 축적되었으며 총 43회의 수문방류를 하여 연간 1.16회의 수문방류를 시행하였다. 본 연구에서는 그동안 수문방류와 지속적으로 최신화한 K-water 저류함수법을 이용하여 수문방류기간중 총강우량 현황과 강우량에 따른 11개의 강우분포형(증가, 감소, 증가감소, 균일, 감소증가, 증가계단, 감소계단, Huff1, Huff2, Huff3, Huff4)의 현황분석, 강우량별 분포형별 유출율을 분석하여 금년도 및 향후 발생이 예상되는 홍수시 수문방류결정에 활용하기 위함이다. 홍수발생 원인을 살펴보면 홍수기 초반에는 장마전선으로 인한 강우가 원인이며, 장마가 끝난 7월말~8월경에는 태풍의 영향을 받는다. 또한, 최근 엘리뇨 및 라니냐 현상의 출현에 따른 기후변화 및 이상기후의 영향으로 예측이 어려운 국지성 돌발호우의 증가로 홍수관리에 어려움을 겪기도 한다. 그러나 최근 가뭄발생이 잦아 우리나라 전역에 가뭄피해가 발생하고 있으며 또한, 홍수기에도 많은 강우가 내리지 않아 2013년 이후에는 수문방류 실적이 전무한 편이다. 홍수로 인한 재해는 인명피해 및 재산피해를 동반하는 우리나라에서 가장 심각한 재해중의 하나이며, 재해예방을 위한 홍수예보는 강우예측과 유출해석으로 나뉠 수 있다. 강우예측은 정교한 강우모형과 기상전문가의 몫이며, 정확한 유출해석은 수문학자들에 의한 연구과제였다. 우리나라 홍수유출해석에 주로 사용되는 모형은 저류함수법이며, 1961년 일본의 Kimura에 의해 창안된 이래 여러 학자들에 의한 다각도의 모형개선을 통해 수차례 모형 성능 향상이 되었다. 그동안 축적된 홍수수문자료를 바탕으로 대청댐 준공이후 수문방류기간중 강우량-강우분포-유출율 관계를 통해 강우량별, 강우분포별, 매개변수별, 유출율, 홍수조절율에 대한 통계분석 및 상관분석을 시행하여 향후 발생가능한 홍수관련 업무에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 수문방류기간중 호우원인(장마전선, 태풍, 국지성홍수 등)에 대한 분석을 시행하고 호우사상별 매개변수를 산정하여 해당 호우에 대한 특성을 파악하고자 한다.

Recently, the utility of UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) for a smart farm using various sensors and ICT (Information & Communications Technology) is expected. In particular, it has proven its effectiveness as an outdoor crop monitoring method through various indices and is being studied in various fields. This study analyzes damage to crops caused by natural disasters and measures the damage area of rice plants. To this end, data is acquired using BG-NIR (Blue Green_Near Infrared Red) and RGB sensors, and image analysis and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) index performed to review crop damage caused by in the rainy season. Also, point cloud data based on image analysis is generated, and damage is measured by comparing data before and after the typhoon through an inspection map. As a result of the study, the growth and rainy season damage of rice was examined through NDWI index analysis, and the damage area caused by typhoon was measured by analysis of the inspection map.

This study evaluates the economic values for the several first precipitation events during Changma period. The selected three years are 2015, 2019, and 2020, where average precipitation amounts across the 58 Korean stations are 12.8, 20.1 and 13.3 mm, respectively. The four categories are used to assess the values including air quality improvement, water resource acquisition/accumulation, drought mitigation, and forest fire prevention/recovery. Economic values for these three years are estimated 50~150 billion won. Among the four factors considered, the effect of air quality improvement is most highly valued, amounting to 70 to 90% of the total economic values. Wet decomposition of air pollution (PM₁₀, NO₂, CO, and SO₂) is the primary reason. The next valuable element is water resource acquisition, which is estimated 9~15 billion won. Effects of drought mitigation and fire prevention are deemed relatively small. This study is the first to estimate the value of the precipitation events during Changma onset. An analysis for more Changma years will be performed to achieve a more reliable estimate.

To provide scientific information for processing of value-added products from onion, volatile flavor compounds were compared in onions harvested in 6 regions, such as Muan (Jeonnam), Buan (Jeonbuk), Andong (Gyeongbuk), and 3 regions of Gyeongnam around Changnyeong (Yueo, Jangma, Seongsan). A total of 51 compounds were detected in samples by solid phase microextraction (SPME)/GC/MSD and they consisted mainly of sulfur-containing compounds (20), aldehydes (4), ketones (5), esters (11), aromatic hydrocarbons (4), nitrogen containing compounds (2), and miscellaneous compounds (5). The sulfur-containing compounds were the major compounds with ranges of $62.6{\sim}80.3%$ of total volatiles, regardless of harvested regions. The amounts of 5 sulfur containing compounds known as having antioxidant activity (2,4-, 2,5-dimetylthiophene, 2-vinyl-1,3-dithiane, 5-methoxy thiazole, and 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-trithiolane) were the highest in Andong and followed by Yueo, Jangma, Buan, Seongsan, and Muan. However, onions from Buan region had the highest amounts of 5 sulfur-containing compounds known as having anticarcinogenic activity ((Z)-, (E)-methyl propenyl disulfide, (Z)-, (E)-propenyl propyl disulfide, and di-2-propenyl disulfide), followed by Yueo, Andong, Jangma, Seongsan, and Muan.

In this study, long-term changes in means and extreme events of precipitation during summer rainy period called Changma (late June~early September) are examined based on rainfall data observed by Chukwooki during Joseon Dynasty (1777~1907) and by modern rain-gauge onward (1908~2015) in Seoul, Korea. Also, characterizations of the relevant changes in synoptic climate fields in East Asia are made by the examination of the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis I data. Analyses of 239-year time series of precipitation data demonstrate that the total precipitation as well as their inter-annual variability during the entire Changma period (late June~early September) has increased in the late 20th century and onward. Notably, since the early 1990s the means and extreme events during the summer Changma period (late June~mid-July) and Changma break period (late July~early August) has significantly increased, resulting in less clear demarcations of sub-Changma periods. In this regard, comparisons of synoptic climate fields before and after the early 1990s reveal that in recent decades the subtropical high pressure has expanded in the warmer Pacific as the advection of high-latitude air masses toward East Asia was enhanced due to more active northerly wind vector around the high pressure departure core over Mongolia. Consequently, it is suggested that the enhancement of rising motions due to more active confluence of the two different air masses along the northwestern borders of the Pacific might lead to the increases of the means and extreme events of Changma precipitation in Seoul in recent decades.

This paper demonstrates the influence of intensity of the monsoon on morpho-hydrological fluctuations in Taechung Reservoir during 1993${\sim}$1994. During the study, hydrological variables including rainfall, inflow, and discharge volume showed distinct contrast between 1993 and 1994. Interannaul differences in rainfall occurred during the monsoon in July${\sim}$August monsoon and influenced inflow, discharge, and water residence time (WRT). Total inflow in 1993 was four times greater than that of 1994, and summer inflow in 1993 was 8 times greater than summer 1994. Annual Mean WRT was 93.2 d in 1993 vs. 158.6 d in 1994 and the largest differences occurred between monsoons of 1993 and 1994. Morphometric variables reflected the interannual contrasts of hydrology, so that in 1993 surface area, total volume, shoreline development, and mean depth increased consistently from premonsoon to postmonsoon and over this same period in 1994 they decreased. This outcome indicates that the area of shallow littoral zones in 1993 was greater than in 1994. Also, the drainage area to surface area (D/L) at 80 m MSL was 60.7 which was much greater than values in Soyang and Andong reservoirs and natural lakes world-wide. The morpho-hydrodynamic conditions seemed to influence in-reservoir nutrient concentration which is one of the most important factors regulating the eutrophication processes. I believe, under the maximum hydrodynamic fluctuations in Korean waterbodies during the monsoon, applications of mass balance models to man-made lakes for assessments of external loading should be considered because the models can be used under the seasonally stable inflow and water residence time.

In order to characterize the microbial distribution at sediments of Lake Daechung, soil samples were collected at two depths of 0.5~2 cm and 19~21 cm of Chudong(static) and Hoenam(streaming) site on May 18th(before rainy season) and on August 24th in 1998(after rainy season), and then the density(CFU/g soil) of microorganisms including bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi was investigated by the viable cell counting method. Microbial density at streaming site was on the whole 3.9-fold higher than that at static site. Bacterial densities examined before and after rainy season was revealed to be similar, whereas actinomycetes and fungi exhibited higher distribution after and before rainy season, respectively. The microbial distribution was not generally reduced with the increase of depth and was rather higher at some deep sites. On comparing with the microbial densities of grass land around the lake, bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi at lake sediments on the average showed the distribution of 52.9%, 35%, and 7%, respectively. However, their distribution except for fungi which exhibited 71.2% was mostly found to be somewhat higher than at the shore of lake.
