Real-time sea level observations from tide gauges include missing and erroneous values. Classification as abnormal values can be done for the latter by the quality control procedure. Although the 3𝜎 (three standard deviations) rule has been applied in general to eliminate them, it is difficult to apply it to the sea-level data where extreme values can exist due to weather events, etc., or where erroneous values can exist even within the 3𝜎 range. An artificial intelligence model set designed in this study consists of non-annotated recurrent neural networks and ensemble techniques that do not require pre-labeling of the abnormal values. The developed model can identify an erroneous value less than 20 minutes of tide gauge recording an abnormal sea level. The validated model well separates normal and abnormal values during normal times and weather events. It was also confirmed that abnormal values can be detected even in the period of years when the sea level data have not been used for training. The artificial neural network algorithm utilized in this study is not limited to the coastal sea level, and hence it can be extended to the detection model of erroneous values in various oceanic and atmospheric data.

Nakdong river barrage was affected by artificial interference such as construction of port, industrial complex and estuary barrage. This change in Nadong river lead to environmental changes and affected the ability of barrier islands. Therefore, it is decided that the observation of changes in the Nakdong river estuary is very important. In this paper, the topographic change of the Nakdong river barrage observe based on Landsat TM, ETM+ images from 1984 to 2015. In addition, this study tried to conduct a comparative analysis on the area for change of sandy sediment according to tide level. This results could estimate height and volume about sandy sediment accumulated on the lower sand dune. Also, these results are expected to be the basis for prediction of the changing topography of the sand dune. The area of the average change in region 1,2,3 was calculated as 3,015m², 167,550m², 14,596m². This result is expected to be very useful for the continuous observation for sediment changes of Nakdong river.

Water temperature and salinity variation patterns were analysed using the CTD data measured in the Yeochari, Dongmakri and Donggeomdo intertidal zone, south of Ganghwado. Only the data during the submersion period of the measurement stations were used in this analysis. It is clearly shown that the correlation between air and water temperatures is very low and the water temperature variation shows clearly the opposite patterns as the tidal elevation increases and decreases. Whereas, the salinity change shows the similar pattern of the tidal elevation change pattern because the salinity change pattern could be described as the increasing function from the shoreline to offshore regions due to the continuous ground-water inflow in the adjacent watersheds. The salinity is increased from the submersion time to the high tide and decreased from the high tide to the exposure time.

The sea level of the Earth is rising approximately 2.0mm per year (global average value) due to thermal expansion of sea water, melting of glaciers and other causes by global warming. However, when it comes to design a river, the standard of design water level is decided by analyzing four largeness tide value and harmonic constant with observed tidal water level. Therefore, it seems the external water level needs to consider an increasing speed of the seawater level which corresponds to a design frequency. In the present study, the hourly observed tidal water level targeting 47 tidal stations operated by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA) from beginning of observation to 2015 per hour has been collected. The variation of monthly and yearly and increasing ratio have been performed divided 4 seas such as the Southern, East, Western, and Jeju Sea. Also, the external water level existing design for rivers nearby a coast was been reviewed. The current study could be used to figure out the cause of local seawater rise and reflect the external water level as basic data.

In order to understand the circulation of nutrient between muddy tidal flat and the surrounding coastal area, tidal time-scale variations in nutrient concentrations were seasonally investigated at the entrance of Hampyeong Bay. The results show that the temperature was higher in ebb tide and lower in flood tide during the summer, but it was lower in ebb tide and higher in flood tide during the autumn/winter. The salinity was higher in flood tide and lower in ebb tide during the summer/winter because of the inflow of external sea water resulting from the increase in the tide level. By contrast, the salinity was lower in flood tide and higher in ebb tide during the autumn. Salinity difference was lower than 0.3 psu between flood tide and ebb tide during survey period. Meanwhile, all nutrient concentrations observed in Hampyeong Bay was lower in flood tide and higher in ebb tide during the summer, and by contrast, it was higher in flood tide and lower in ebb tide during the winter. Characteristically, no clear variation of concentrations was found depending on the tide level during the autumn. This tidal variations imply that the muddy tidal flat of Hampyeong Bay supplies nutrients to the seawater in summer and removes nutrient from the seawater in winter. During tidal cycle, seasonal variation of nutrient concentration in seawater is considered as the result of complex interactions between the mud flat and external sea water.

The adjoint method is a method of data assimilation to improve the model results by seeking for model parameters that minimize the cost function and satisfy the governing equations of a model simultaneously. An adjoint package was set up for the two-dimensional linear tidal model and was applied to an idealized domain for an optimal estimation of the open boundary conditions. The assimilating data were selected from the results of forward modeling. Attention is paid on the response of the adjoint package to weighting parameters, the importance of initial estimates of model parameters and the applicability of the adjoint package to the case with varying depth. A procedure to determine optimal weight is presented based on the relationships between weights and other factors.

The digitalization of sea level measurement recording which is recorded as analog type is useful for many related oceanology. In this paper, we propose a method which separates the graph area from a sea level measurement recording image. At first, a pixel that is regarded as the pixel which is included in the graph area is selected. Then, many background pixels are separated using the color of the selected pixel. In each vertical line, a pixel is determined as the pixel within the graph area and the graph area is separated from the image using that pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper overcome drawbacks of the previous research and can separate the graph area which similar to the graph area of the original image.

발전소 온배수의 원활한 배수를 위한 설계 낙차와 함께 남서해안의 조위변화에 따른 낙차의 이용가능성을 인지하고 소수력 발전 방식과 조력발전 방식의 특정을 동시에 활용하는 해양소수력 발전소를 삼천포 화력발전소 배수로에 최초로 건설하여 운전함으로써 청정 재생에너지 개발 및 $CO_2$ 저감효과 창출에 이바지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 삼천포 해양소수력 발전소의 운전실적 자료를 토대로 조위 및 방류량의 변화에 따른 해양소수력의 효율 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 해양소수력 발전소의 효율은 방류량과 유효 낙차의 영향을 직접적으로 받기 때문에 관측한 수위 및 방류량, 해양소수력발전소 운전실적 자료를 토대로 효율분석을 실시하였다. 우선, 소수력 가동 이후 배수로에서의 수위 상승이 명확히 나타났으며, 배수로내 위어에서의 흐름구조가 완전월류 상태에서 불완전월류로 바뀌면서 배수로 전체의 수면 불안정성이 크게 증가하였으나, 배수로의 범람이나 순환수 계통에의 큰 영향을 초래할 만한 수준은 아니었다. 성능시험 결과, 최대출력, 평균출력, 최소출력 모든 부분에서 설계 보증치 이내의 값을 보였으며, 효율 또한 설계 보중치를 상회하는 결과를 보였다. CWP 유량 분석결과, 소수력 발전소에서의 유량이 과소 측정되고 있음을 확인하였으며, 최대낙차에서 최대효율을 보이고, 저낙차일 때는 보증치보다 효율이 낮게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 또한 조위조건을 고려한 유량을 이용하여 산정한 효율 곡선이 보증치와 가장 일치하였으며, 전체 시스템 효율은 비교적 양호한 상태임을 알 수 있었다.

The optimal type and discharging position of ocean outfall of wastewater have been determined by hydrodynamic modeling, near-field dilution modeling, and far-field dispersion modeling. Tide and tidal currents have been simulated by a finite element hydrodynamic model showing good agreements with field observations. Based on the hydrodynamic simulation results candidates of ocean outfall position were preliminary determined. Submerged single port and submerged multi-port diffuser were selected as discharging system alternatives and finally designed by considering tide, tidal currents and water depth. Initial dilution of wastewater discharged from the designed ports has been estimated by CORMIX system. A 2-dimensional random-walk dispersion model has been employed to simulate far-field dispersion of discharged wastewater.

2010년 내부공간구상이 변화됨에 따라 토지이용과 새만금호 수면적이 변하여 수리현상에 대한 규명이 필요하여 수리모형을 구축하고 상류유량공급, 모형조도, 배수갑문 통과유량, 조석재현에 대한 검보정 실험을 실시하였다. 상류유량공급에 검정 실험결과를 보면 유입유량 제어계측시스템을 통해서 유입되는 유량은 평균적으로 목표유량의 ${\pm}5%$ 범위 내에서 오차를 두고 목표유량의 추세를 따라가고 있다(그림 1). 그리고 유입유량이 $3{\ell}/s$ 미만일 경우와 변곡구간에서 비교적 오차가 크게 난다. 하지만 실험기간동안 누적유량값의 오차는 5% 미만이기 때문에 실험 결과에 미치는 영향은 크지 않다고 판단된다. 조석재현 검정실험을 한 결과는 목표값과 측정값의 큰 차이가 없다. 실험초기에는 목표값과 측정값의 차이가 크게 나타나지만 실험 5분 이후부터는 최대 EL. 0.2m가 차이가 났는데, 조위가 변곡되는 구간에서 나타났다. 실제 실험에서 조위값은 배수갑문의 운영과 관련되어 변곡구간의 조위값보다 상승 하강구간의 조위값(EL. -1.5m~EL. 0.5m)이 실험에 영향을 미치기 때문에 조석발생위어의 조석 재현성은 정밀하다고 판단된다. 모형조도보정 실험은 수치해석 결과와 수리모형실험을 비교하여 실험을 실시하여 해석식과 실험결과값을 근거로 한 조도재료량을 계산하고 이를 배치하여 검보정 실험을 실시하여 조도를 보정하였다. 배수갑문의 통과유량은 현장 관측자료가 부족하여 검 보정이 어려움이 존재한다. 따라서 이에 대한 추후 연구가 필요하다.
