우리나라 서해안 중부, 경기만 일대는 강한 조석과 잘 발달된 해만으로 인해 천혜의 조력자원 보고로 알려져 있으나, 1980년대부터 서 남해 연안역에 대한 대규모 매립과 항만개발 등으로 조력개발입지 자체가 상실되고, 조석체계도 변화되고 있다. 한편 조력에너지는 기존의 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 개발가능한 신 재생 에너지 중에서 거의 유일하게 대규모로 개발이 가능한 것으로 평가되고 있어 개발시 기대효과는 매우 클 것이다. 이에 우리나라 서해안의 조력자원 부존량을 파악하고 주요 후보지에 대한 개발타당성 검토를 통하여 주요 조력자원 후보지를 타 개발로부터 보호하고, 민간참여를 유도하여 조력에너지 개발을 활성화하고자 본 조사를 추진하였다. 한반도 조력자원 개발타당성 검토를 위하여 1) 서해안의 주요 지점에 대한 조석특성을 조사하였고, 2) 주요 조력자원 후보지 위치 및 영역을 설정하였으며, 3) 조석체계변화예측 수치모형실험을 실시하였고, 4) 후보지별 발전소 평면배치계획을 수립하였으며, 5) 후보지별 연간발전량과 개략공사비를 산출하여 6) 후보지별 개략타당성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토결과 우리나라 서해안의 조력개발 가능규모는 215만kW 정도이며, 주요 후보지를 모두 개발할 경우 연간 3,826GWh의 전기를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 연간발전량 대비 순공사비 비율에 따르면 만 입구가 좁아 개발 경제성 확보가 유리한 가로림만을 우선 추진하고, 이후 인천만, 천수만 순으로 개발하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Two-dimensional numerical analysis is performed for the simulation of tidal characteristics related to various development projects in Incheon coastal waters along the west coast of Korea. Field observation of tides and currents was made in order to provide the input boundary and validation data set to the numerical modelling. For the simulation of changes of tides and currents a depth-integrated two-dimensional shallow water model of Flather and Heaps (1975) has been used herein. Tidal model is set up with open boundary sea level from observed two major constituents, M$_2$ and S$_2$. Subsequently the established model is utilized to investigate the effect of two development projects in this region. It has been found that in spring tide the changes of tidal amplitude are small, however, those of tidal current are locally significant.

A horizontal tow-dimensional version of POM (Princeton Ocean Model) was modified in representing the bottom friction and the open boundary conditions. To simulate the flooding and drying of intertidal flats, a wetting-and-drying scheme was incorporated into the model. The model then was applied to the Chunsu Bay and its adjacent coastal water. Only the water movement due to tides, the dominant forcing in the study area, was considered. This presents the procedure and the results of model calibration and verification for the Chunsu Bay system. The model was calibrated, using the average tidal characteristics in Tide Tables, for the amplitudes and the phases of tidal waves throughout the modeling domain. Calibration results showed that the model gave a good reproduction of tidal waves. The calibrated model was verified using the time-series measurements of surface elevation and current velocity in the summer of 1995. The model reproduced the tides currents very well. calibration and verification results demonstrated that the model is capable of reproducing the tidal dynamics in the Chunsu Bay system.

Tidal asymmetry would occur owing to shallow water tides at the Western Coast of macro tidal area. Especially, as ebb dominance of Mokpo coastal zone is known as the most prominent in Korea, it had been studied by domestic researchers. The cause of ebb dominance in Mokpo area is considered due to extensive inter-tidal zone in Muan Bay, and this has been studied based on amplification ratio, relative phase and skewness of tide/tidal flow curves in order to analyze qualitative tidal asymmetry. Furthermore, it was possible to figure out tidal characteristics with the difference of tidal amplitude and phase with Mokpo Harbor by observing the tide for 15 days in Muan Bay, which showed 40 minutes shorter ebbing time than at Mokpo Harbor. In addition, tidal flow prediction data in Mokpo North Harbor and Mokpo-Gu were analyzed. Meanwhile, the basis regarding qualitative interpretation of bed sediment and suspended sediment was provided by examining the qualitative changes in tidal asymmetry for spring-neap tidal cycle through the PCA/SWA indices. In addition, by examining long-term changes of ebb dominance in Mokpo Port, tidal characteristics of the past, present and future in this area, which is related to tidal asymmetry, is also provided.

Observations by CTD castings, moored current meters and satellite imageries reveal some physical characteristics of the area around the tidal mixing front found in the mid-Yellow Sea off Korea. Tidal mixing is the greatest at the promontory of Taean Peninsula with a front around it. The front appears in April with the start of solar heating, becomes most clear in August and disappears in November with the start of surface cooling. In the north of the front, tidal fluctuations of temperature and salinity induced by tidal currents manifest the existence of the front, Differently from the usual tidal mixing front, the front in Kyunggi Bay is formed by presence of the water discharged from the Han River which meets the offshore water at the front. Near the surface cold center, vertically well-mixed zone extends to about 50 Km offshore from the coast, Farther south, this structure is generally retained but with lesser degree of vertical mixing. Within the relatively well-fixed coastal zone, the fresh water discharged from the Kum River makes another salinity front of smaller extent. At some places around this salinity front, an Upwelling-like feature is remarked.

감조하천은 조석파의 영향으로 자연하천과 달리 매우 복잡하고 다양한 흐름특성을 보인다. 흐름이 하류에서 상류 방향으로 흐르기도 하며, 유속분포는 왜곡되어 수면 근처보다는 하상 근처의 유속이 큰 형태를 보이기도 한다. 또한 만조시 수면경사는 바다의 조위가 하천의 수위보다 높은 역경사를 보이고, 수위변화량은 조위의 변화에 따라 변동하게 되는 복잡한 흐름특성을 보인다. 이와 같은 흐름특성은 감조구간의 하상변동, 생태환경, 수질 등에 큰 영향을 미치게 되기 때문에 조사, 분석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 감조하천 구간에서 3차원 유속측정장비인 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)로 측정된 자료 및 수위관측소의 수위자료를 활용하여 시간변화에 따른 수위변화량 및 유속분포 특성을 분석하고, 수면경사, 수위변화량 등과 유량과의 관계를 분석함으로서 향후 다양한 연구에 활용할 수 있는 자료를 제공하고자 한다.

In this study, we investigate tidal wave propagation characteristics, and classify regional tidal regime using tidal form number considered distribution of astronomical tide, overtides, and compound tides in the Han River Estuary, Gyeonggi Bay. The characteristics of the tidal wave propagation in main channels show dominance of major tidal constituents (e.g., $M_2$, $S_2$, $N_2$, $K_1$ and $O_1$) contributing to the astronomical tide however, distinct increasing of shallow water (e.g., $M_4$) and long period (e.g., $MS_f$) components toward up-estuary. Using the characteristics of tidal form number to astronomical tide, overtides, and compound tides, the regional tidal regime could be assorted into three regions. Firstly, a dominance area of astronomical tide was presented from open sea to a front of Incheon Harbor (Yeomha channel) and to north entrance of Seokmo channel. The area between south and north entrance of Yeomha channel and Ganghaw north channel classified into zone of showing strong shallow water components. It could be separated into upper estuary, upstream the Singok underwater dam, showed dominance of shallow overtides (e.g., $M_4$ and $MS_4$) water and long-term compound tides (e.g., $MS_f$) larger magnitude than astronomical tide. The shallow water components was earlier generated in lower part (south entrance) of Yeomha channel have strong bottom by effect of shallower and narrower compared with Seokmo channel. Tidal asymmetries of upper estuary cause by a development of overtides and compound tides are mainly controlled by influence of man-made structure.

In this study, the bottom tracking observation in the tidal entrance within Mokpo coast is performed using ADCP in order to estimate net flux of water mass and tidal prism. First of all, observed rawdata was conducted coordinate rotation considering rotation of the cross-section in order to derive the predominant velocity component. And observed rawdata is converted into Sigma coordinate with normalization and blank zone data near the water surface and bottom is interpolated using von-Karman equation. Net flux of water mass is calculated quantitively from the interpolated data, calculated results show that these represent well characteristic of ebb superiority at Mokpo coast as well as change of net flux of water mass with tide. Also, by complementing the definition of tidal prism proposed in past studies, the definition of tidal prism including tidal condition was re-established. Based on the new definition, tidal prism at a tidal entrance using bottom tracking data with ADCP is estimated quantitively for the first time domestically. The results are compared with those for results of previous study, calculated results were in good agreement with previous studies.

Tide-surge characteristics of the West/South domestic coasts were analyzed with a tool of EST (empirical simulation technique). As a result, stations of Incheon, Gunsan, Mokpo and Busan are categorized as tide-dominant coasts, while Yeosu, Tongyoung and Busan are as surge-dominant coasts. In the tide-dominant coasts, extreme sea level of less than 50-yr frequency is formed without typhoon-surge, while only 10-yr extreme sea level is formed in the surge-dominant coasts. As the results of casual condition of extreme sea level formation considering the relative degree of surge on tide, the regional characteristics were detected also. Three methods for estimating the design tide level were compared. The AHHW method shows an unrealistic outcomes of the concern of over estimate design. Furthermore, the probability distribution function method has been concerned as causing missing data if a huge typhoon occurs in a neap tide or a low tide. To cope with these drawbacks, the applicability of the EST method is proved to be suitable especially in tide-dominant coasts.

Groundwater level changes in coastal aquifers occur due to oceanic tides, where the properties of oceanic tides can be applied to estimate hyadraulic parameters. Hydraulic parameters of coastal aquifers located in eastern part of Jeju island were estimated using the tidal response technique. Groundwater level data from a saltwater intrusion monitoring well system was used which showed tidal effects from 3 to 5 km. The hydraulic gradient was assessed by utilizing the filtering method from 71 consecutive hourly water-level observations. Calculated hydraulic diffusivity ranged from 2.94${\times}10^7m^2d^{-1}$ to 4.36${\times}10^7m^2d^{-1}$ . The hydraulic gradient of the coastal aquifer area was found to be ~$10^{-4}$, whereas the gradient of the area between wells Handong-1 and 2 was found to be ~$10^{-6}$, which is very low comparatively. Analysis of groundwater monitoring data showed that groundwater levels are periodically higher near coastal areas compared to that of inner land areas due to oceanic tide influences. When assessing groundwater flow direction in coastal aquifers it is important to consider tidal fluctuation.
