Tidal asymmetry which is generated at the mouth of an estuary tends to be more serious toward the upper stream due to the growth of shallow tides. Thus careful observations and applications for the shallow tides are needed if studies related to sediment or pollutant transport are carried on. An aim of the present study was to clarify the characteristics of generation and propagation of shallow tides by various numerical experiments including the effect of inter-tidal zone. The results of the present study will give a fundamental guide for the analysis of tidal envirorunental changes and for the design of a numerical model if coastal constructions are conducted.

한강 하구는 매우 다이나믹한 공간이다. 서해의 조석변화가 한강과 임진강에 영향을 미치는 동시에 한강과 임진강의 영향이 조석에도 영향을 미친다. 한강과 임진강의 유량은 서로에게도 영향을 미친다. 결과적으로 한강, 임진강, 조석이 서로 밀접하게 영향을 미치는 곳이 한강 하구이다. 그러나 지금까지 군사적인 문제로 인해 한강 하구에 대한 조사나 분석은 많이 이루어질 수 없었다. 그로인해 하구의 수리적인 영향이 정확하게 분석되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 한강 하구의 흐름 모의 결과를 바탕으로 조석변화의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 신곡수중보 주위의 흐름 조사 결과를 바탕으로 하구에서 발생하는 조석 변화의 영향도 분석하였다. 한강 본류의 경우 평상시 조석이 영향을 미치는 범위는 잠실수중보 직하류까지이다. 한강 본류에 계획홍수량이 흐르는 경우 한강대교 지점에는 조석의 영향이 나타나지 않으며, 약 10,000cms 이상의 홍수량에서는 조석영향이 거의 나타나지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 임진강의 경우에도 계획 홍수량이 흐를 경우 조석이 영향을 미치는 범위는 하구부 일정 구간에 한정된다. 한강 하구부에서 홍수시 조석의 영향으로 인해 홍수위가 상승될 수 있는 경우는 제한적이라고 할 수 있다. 임진강의 유량은 한강의 조석변화에도 영향을 미친다. 임진강에 평상시 유량이 흐르는 경우와 홍수량이 흐르는 경우에 나타나는 한강의 조석영향 범위 및 크기는 다르다. 반대로 한강의 유량은 임진강의 흐름에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 이와 같은 상호간의 영향은 매우 밀접하게 발생하게 된다. 한강 하구부에 설치되어 있는 신곡수중보는 조석의 변화에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 조석으로 인해 발생하는 수위의 변화가 수중보로 인해 줄어들게 되어 이 지점을 기준으로 수위차가 발생하게 된다. 만조시에는 수중보를 월류하는 흐름이 발생하는데 상류방향의 유속이 빠르게 나타난다. 수심방향의 유속변화도 크게 나타나는데 상류 및 하류 방향의 유속이 시간과 장소에 따라 매우 다양하고 복잡하게 나타나게 된다. 한강 하구부의 수리현상은 매우 복잡하지만 지금까지 조사되거나 분석되지 못한 것이 사실이다. 하구부의 지속가능한 관리를 위해서는 의사결정을 할 수 있는 기초자료와 분석 결과가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 결과는 한강 하구 조사와 분석을 위해 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

한반도의 서해안선은 그 길이가 4,000여km에 달하는데, 굴곡이 매우 심하다. 반도 서부의 직선거리는 600여km에 그친다. 드나듦이 큰 해안선은 간석지의 발달뿐만 아니라 서해의 조석현상의 특성에도 영향을 준다. 조석은 해파(wave)의 일종으로 12시간 이상의 주기를 가졌다. 이것의 파장은 수천km이고, 파고는 10m를 넘을 때도 있다. 조석은 서해로 유입하는 하천의 하류구간에 직접 영향을 주었다. (중략)

In the coastal region of Korea, historical tide harmonic constants were collected. Long-term tides and short-term tides observed by the KHOA were analyzed by a tide harmonic analysis method. Based on the harmonic constants, tidal characteristics such as tide asymmetry in Korean coastal waters were investigated. The harmonic constants obtained from the long-term tide data in the western coast have been used to show the relation between tide variation and reclamation project. $M_2$ amplitudes in the western coast have been decreased and $M_2$ phases were faster. $M_4$ amplitudes also were reduced and $M_4$ phases were faster in overall. In Mokpo and Kunsan tidal nonlinearity is relatively conspicuous. Overall, non-linearity of tidal currents is higher in the tidal channels flowing fast. The tidal non-linearity has increased by the development projects including large reclamation. The flood dominant characteristic in the northern and central part of Korean western coastal waters and the ebb dominant characteristic in the southern part have been intensified. The construction of Saemangeum sea dike has significantly changed the tidal characteristic in Korean western coastal waters.

The basic research of the estuarine circulation at Gyeong-Gi bay has not been well studied up to now, although coastal development pressures have been continuously increased. To understand the oceanographic phenomena at the Han River estuary, it's essential to understand the propagation characteristic of tidal wave which is the strongest external forcing in this region. In this study, we investigate the tidal wave propagation characteristics along the 3 major channels using observation data and numerical model. It is found that 3 channels are all hyper-synchronous and the most important physical factor controlling the tidal wave propagation is topographical convergence of estuary shape and friction. The result of analytic solution at ideal channel considering the topographical convergence and friction show that the contribution of physical role of convergence and friction varies at 3 different channel. And the ratio of convergence and friction at Yeomha channel is four times larger than Seokmo channel. Because of this effect, the location of maximum amplitude at Yeomha channel is showed up downward than Seokmo channel. The ratio of decreasing amplitude and increasing phase per unit distance between stations is bigger than Seokmo channel. Although 3 major channel show a hyper-synchronous pattern, Yeomha shows more frictionally dominant channel and Seokmo channel is more dominantly affected by convergence effect.

In coastal region, tidal harmonic constants of semi-diurnal tides and nonlinear tides were collected. The observed tide data of KHOA were analyzed by a tide harmonic analysis method. In the southwestern coasts and Han river estuary, nonlinear tides are clearly generated. The generation of tide non-linearity and tide asymmetry is closely related with tide form factor in Korean coastal zone. Tide non-linearity and asymmetry in Mokpo harbour have increased by a series of coastal development projects. The increase has caused rise of high water level and drop of low water level, and increase of tidal range. In Kunsan Outport, tidal range has been declined due to inter-annual change of nonlinear tides after completion of Samangeum sea-dyke.

Three different tidal phase-lag references have been used by the tidal research community of Korea: Greek kappa (k), Local standard time zone ($135^{\circ}E$) phase-lag (g) and Greenwich phase-lag (G). This ununified tidal information system may induce confusion in understanding tidal characteristics and their variability and impede the development of tidal knowledge in Korea. In this study we closely explore the three phase-lag reference definition with respect to their mutual conversion. We also identify an incorrect phase-lag reference definition used in previous works and discuss what has led to this misunderstanding.

The tidal pi lot plant is being built in the Uldolmok waterway using Its strong tidal current with maximum current of about 12knots, which is revealed from the first direct observation using ADCP, on February, 2002. a serious of field observations (for example, ADCP observation was tarried out both at February 2002 and September, 2003), along with numerical modeling, have been carried out over the last several years, in order to understand the tidal dynamics and to examine the related variables according to the tidal current power plant (TCPP) operation.

In order to examine the characteristics of tidal wave from the estuary to upsteam of tidal river, tidal asymmetry was identified based on analysis of the harmonic constants of M2 and M4 tidal constituents in the domestic western coastal regions. As shallow water tide is greatly developed in the estuary, flood dominance in Han River and Keum River, and ebb dominance in Youngsan River are developed. These tidal asymmetries can be reconfirmed by analyzing the tidal current data. Unlike having reciprocating tidal current patterns in Keum and Youngsan estuaries, rotaing tidal current pattern is shown in the Han River estuary due to the complex topography and waterways around Ganghwa Island area. However, when residual current is removed, flood dominance is shown in consistency with the tide data. The tidal asymmetry in the estuary tends to intensify with the growth in shallow water tide as the tidal wave propagates to upstream of tidal river. Energy dissipation, in shallow Han River and Keum River classified as SD estuaries, is very large regarding bottom friction characteristics. On the other hand, the deep Youngsan River, classified as a WD estuary, shows less energy dissipation.

The oceanic tides have an effect on groundwater levels in coastal fractured rock aquifers. The observed groundwater table fluctuations caused by the effective stress through an aquifer are shown as sine curves similar with tidal fluctuation. To estimate a hydrogeologic parameter, tidal method is utilized with groundwater level fluctuations of two monitoring wells. Cross correlation function is used to calculate time lags between observed groundwater levels and tide, and the deeper well shows longer time lag. The storage coefficients calculated by using tidal efficiency and time lag show large differences. The storage coefficients obtained by using time lags are close to the result of slug test, and that of the deeper well shows closer value by slug test. The tidal efficiency is unsatisfied to apply in the tidal method because of an effect of phreatic aquifer and the vertical flow of groundwater through fractured confining bed. This tidal method can be an economical and effective way to define the parameter by considering the location of observation well and hydrogeologic characteristics of a coastal aquifer.
