Chinhae Bay, included small ports, is the region which the red tide phenomenon is occurred frequently in summer season. Field sampling of 4 cross-sections in the bay resulted in detailed informations on cross-sectional velocity distributions, salt concentrations and discharge during one consecutive tidal cycle in summer season, 1983. High velocity cores reoccur two times a semi-diurnal tidal cycle at the same cross-sectional location, lower layer, in Kadok Channel during the spring tide. The tidal exchange ratio was estimated by Eulerian method. The range of exchange ratios in central Kadok Channel are 9.3-17% at the spring tide and 16.9-21.8% at the neap tide. On the other hand, its range in Masan bay-mouth is 8.7% at the spring tide and 2.0% neap tide, respectively.

Masan bay with a semi-enclosed waters has serious water quality problems due to the low flow and river pollution load from land, and shows the vulnerable locational characteristics to storm surge. We are seeking the way of both operating disaster prevention facilities and water quality improvement measures in the bay. That is, the water was exchanged using the head difference occurred by operating disaster prevention facilities. The location of disaster prevention facilities was assumed to be in the inlet of the bay, in the vicinity of Machang bridge, and in the vicinity of Dot island and the operation time was assumed to be early morning hours(01~05) considering the number of shipping passage and annual tide, and spring tide of the largest head difference. In addition, the experiment case of water exchange including the in-outflow feeder pipe was tested. According to the simulation results, water exchange rate in all experiments has shown a steady increase. Water exchange rate of the whole of Masan bay in the case of present is 38.62%. The water exchange rate of the inside of Masan bay compared with the inlet of bay, appeared to be very low. Thus, we judged that the characteristics of semi-enclosed waters were well reproduced. On the results of the experiment of disaster prevention facilities and in-outflow feeder pipe, the case of the operation of disaster prevention facilities, water exchage rate is high compared with the case of present. And, the higer the operating frequency, the more water exchange is appeared. The cases of water exchange prevention facilities through the in-outflow feeder pipe caused by the head difference, also showed the higest improvement of the water quality. Compared with the south of Machang bridge, the effect of water exchange was better in the inlet of Masan bay and Dot island. On the other hand, the inlet of Masan bay is higer than Dot island as for water exchange of the whole of Masan bay, but opposite, water change rate including Masan inside was higher in the case of Dot island.

This study intended to explain the relationship between climate change and magnetic susceptibility of estuarine sediment. Data of OSL dating and magnetic susceptibility from estuarine tidal sediment were compared with various climate change data. During the last Holocene, the intense of magnetic susceptibility related with weaker Siberian High and stronger Asian Summer Monsoon. It is explained that high precipitation and runoff made much fluvial sediment input to the estuary. From the early to mid Holocene, there is no clear relationship between climate change and MS because of the much coastal sediment input caused by rapid sea level rise and the formation of upland soil and coastal marsh. These results contribute to reconstruct paleo-environmental changes of west coast of Korea, in the way of using benefit of ubiquitous estuarine tidal flats and relatively useful magnetic susceptibility methodoloy.

제주도 동부지역에 설치한 심부관측정과 지하수 개발공에 대한 시추코아 지질검층, EC 및 수온검층, 지하수위 관측, 수질조사 등의 자료를 기초로 이 지역의 지하지질 분포와 지하수 부존특성에 대해 해석을 실시하였다. 제주도 동부 해발 200m 이하지역은 평균 해수면 하 90~120m 깊이까지 투수성이 좋은 용암류 누층으로 이뤄져 있으며, 일부지역에서는 서귀포층 상부에 유리쇄 설성 각력암층(hyaloclastite breccia)이 두껍게 분포하고 있어 담수지하수의 확산과 해수의 유입이 잘 일어날 수 있는 지질상태를 이루고 있다. 특히 서귀포층은 G-H비에 의한 담.염수 경계면 분포 깊이보다 깊은 위치에 존재하고 있어 제주도 서부지역에서처럼 담수지하수를 저류 해주는 역할을 기대하기 어려운 것으로 판단된다. 제주도 동부지역 지하수체는 수직적으로 담수지하수, 저염지하수, 염수지하수로 구분할 수 있으며, Ghyben-Herzberg 원리가 적용되는 담수렌즈(기저지하수) 두께는 일반적인 G-H비 보다 훨씬 얇은 평균 1:20의 비율을 나타냈다. 담수렌즈는 대체로 해안으로부터 내륙쪽 8km 지역까지 광범위하게 발달하고 있으며, 담수렌즈 포장량은 822백만톤(공극율 5%)에서 1,970백만톤(공극율 12%)의 범위로 추정되었다.

The sea water exchange of Koje Bay in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula was estimated on the basis of current measurements and oceanographic observation. The exchange ratio was estimated by salinity differences and tidal prism method. The range of exchange ratio at the central part at the entrance of the bay is estimated to be around $26\%$ at spring tide and 5 to $15\%$ at neap tide. The magnitude of exchange ratio, however, can be changed due to water exchange, hydrometeorological and geomorphological conditions. The flushing time deduced by tidal prism was about 48 hours at spring tide and 81 hours at neap tide. Tidal induced eddy motion may play an important role on the seawater exchange in the bay.

Accurate analysis of water budget and seawater exchange characteristics is essential for the improvement and management of the degraded water quality in Masan Bay. In this study, water budget is simulated for the four divided coastal zones on the monthly base, and watershed runoff discharges which are important as input parameters are estimated using the runoff coefficient(=0.7). The main results are as follows : The runoff-contribution rate due to water supply discharge is increased from 10% in 1978 to the equivalent amount at present. The reduction quantity due to the wastewater interception is about 25% of total inflow discharges, and the net effects of both precipitation and evaporation is about 10%. As the hydraulic detention time in Masan Bay is estimated about 3 months, water exchange rate is to be very low. From the analysis of the salinity variation on account of water mixing, it appears no temporal correlation between monthly average precipitation and salinity, whereas only regional correlation is apparent.

The ECOM3D is used to study the circulation characteristics and density current from the Sumjin River runoff in the Kwangyang Estuarine System, South Sea, Korea. Annual mean value of $120m^3/s$ was imposed from the Sumjin River. The numerical model results in terms of tidal height, current and salinity field show satisfactory with skill scores over 90%. The current velocity showed the range of 1~2.5 m/s during flood and ebb phases. In particular, very strong flow occur in the narrow Channels of Noryang, Daebang and Changson exceeding over 2.0 m/s. The tidal residual currents in the various locations in the Kwangyang Estuary showed the range of 1~21 cm/s, The density-driven current through the Yeosu and Noryang Channels are about 12 cm/s and 4 cm/s, respectively. The current path through the Yeosu Channel is deflected toward west Bank. Based on budget analysis of the volume flux, the volume flux through the Yeosu Channel and the Noryang Channel were estimated to be 97.4 and $22.1m^3/s$ accounting for the 81.5% and 18.5% of total flux, respectively.

원자력, 화력발전소, 제철소 등의 다양한 임해 공업시설로부터 방출되는 냉각용 온배수는 연안일대 해수의 열균형을 파괴시켜 생태계의 보존 및 환경관리에 좋지 못한 영향을 야기케 된다. 이러한 영향은 해안 또는 만내의 수중온도를 전반적으로 높일뿐 아니라 가동중단시 갑자기 수온을 떨어뜨려 해양생물상에 피해를 줄수도 있다. 또한 온배수에 의하여 온도가 상승된 해수가 취수구를 통하여 재순환되어 냉각기능의 부진을 초래하게되면 발전효율 또는 기계가동율을 저하시키게 된다. 이러한 측면에서 온배수의 확산에 대한 정성, 정량적인 예측은 환경영향평가, 취.배수구 설계조건의 산정 등에 매우 중요한 문제라 하겠다. 본 연구는 정지수역으로 유입하는 3차원 정상류 표면온배수 해석모형의 개발로서 개발된 모형의 수치실험을 통하여 온배수 확산의 물리적 특성을 규명한다. 지배방정식에 나타나는 Reynolds 응력항($)과 온도유동 프럭스항($)의 해석에서 필요한 난류모델은 k-$\varepsilon$ 모형에 난류 평균자승 온도유동($) 및 그 감쇄방정식을 추가한 4-방정식 모델로서 구성하였다. 아울러 3차원 정상류 모형에서 야기되는 타원형 방정식을 포물형 방정식의 형태로 전환하여 효과적으로 해석할 수 있도록 모델의 특성을 정리하였다. 본 모델의 검증을 위하여 Lal 및 Rajaratnam(1977)의 물리적 실험값과 비교해본 결과 온배수 거동의 물리적현상이 잘 일치하였다. 또한 McGuirk 및 Rodi(1979)에 의해 개발된 2-방정식 k-$\varepsilon$ 난류모형의 해석결과에 대하여 비교분석을 실시하였다.

At the center of the Noryang waterway, the Gwangyang bay area (including the Yeosu Strait) is located at the west, and the Jinju bay area (including Gangjin bay and Sacheon bay) is located at the east. Freshwater from several rivers is flowing into the study area. In particula,r the event of flood, great quantities freshwater flow from Seomjingang (Seomjin river) into the Gwangyang bay area and from Gahwacheon (discharge from Namgang Dam) into the Jinju bay. The Gwangyang and Jinju bay are connected to the Noryang waterway. In addition, freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon also affect through the Noryang waterway. In this study, we elucidated the characteristics of the tidal exchange rate and residence time for dry season and flood season on 50 frequency, considering freshwater from 51 rivers, including Seomjingang and Gahwacheon, using a particle tracking method. We conducted additional experiments to determine the effect of freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon during flooding. In both the dry season and flood season, the result showed that the particles released from the Gwangyang bay moved to the Jinju bay through the Noryang waterway. However, comparatively small amount of particles moved from the Jinju bay to the Gwangyang bay. Each experimental case, the sea exchange rate was 44.40~67.21% in the Gwangyang bay and 50.37~73.10% in the Jinju bay, and the average residence time was 7.07~15.36days in the Gwangyang bay and 6.45~12.75days in the Jinju bay. Consequently the sea exchange rate increased and the residence time decreased during flooding. A calculation of cross-section water flux over 30 days for 7 internal and 5 external areas, indicated that the main essential flow direction of the water flux was the river outflow water from Seomjingang flow through the Yeosu strait to the outer sea and from Gahwacheon flow through Sacheon bay, Jinju bay and the Daebang waterway to the outer sea.

Field measurements and numerical simulations using EFDC model were performed to quantify the changes of water circulation near Gusipo coast located in the Yellow Sea of Korea to estimate the impact of the construction of the coastal structures (jetty, groin, Gusipo port and bridge). The model predicted tide and tidal currents agreed reasonably well with the measurements. The maximum currents during spring tide near the Gusipo Beach (GB) have the range of 20~40 cm/sec whereas those off the GB range from 60 to 80 cm/sec. The typical patterns of tidal current show parallel with the local isobath. Tidal currents flow northeastward during the flood tide whereas the currents during the ebb tide flow southwestward. The current speeds at shielded waters after the construction of coastal structures strongly decreased as compared with those before the construction. The tidal volume due to the construction of coastal structures was estimated using the depth averaged velocity for 24 hours of spring tide. Tidal volume after construction of coastal structures was compared with initial state (before construction). Tidal volume at present state (after construction of jetty, groin, Gusipo port and bridge) decreased by 28.4% as compared with that of the initial state. The volume after construction of jetty and groin decreased by 21.3%, and the volume after construction of Gusipo port and bridge decreased by 9.8%.
