Red tide(harmful algae) in the Korean Coastal Waters has a given a great damage to the fishery every year. However, the aim of our study understands the influence of meteorological factors (air and water tempaerature, precipitation, sunshine, solar radiation, winds) relating to the mechanism of red tide occurrence and monitors red tide by satellite remote sensing, and analyzes the potential area for red tide occurrence by GIS. The meteorological factors have directly influenced on red tide formation. Thus, We want to predict and apply to red tide formation from statistical analyses on the relationships between red tide formation and meteorological factors. In future, it should be realized the near real time monitoring for red tide by the development of remote sensing technique and the construction of integrated model by the red tide information management system (the data base of red tide - meteorological informations).

The study is intended to investigate the proliferation of whitening, the impact of climate change (sea temperature rise) on the proliferation of whitening, and the reproduction and growth of crustose coralline algae, which causes the whitening, in the coast of Jeju Island. The size of the whitening-affected area in the coast of Jeju was 2,931ha in 1998 and increased to 4,541ha in 2003. The whitening occurred mainly in the southern coast of Jeju in 1998 but spread across the whole coast of Jeju by 2003, except in the coast of Jocheon-eup (eup refers to an administrative district in Korea) and Gujwa-eup. The average sea water temperature in February from 1992 to 2004 was $15.1^{\circ}C$ in the whitening affected area and $13.9^{\circ}C$ in the marine forest area, showing a clear difference, but there was no difference in the average temperature in August. The long-term (37-year period) average of the sea temperature was $15.3^{\circ}C$ in the whitening affected area and $14.1^{\circ}C$ in the marine forest area, showing $1.2^{\circ}C$ higher in the whitening area. The annual rate of sea temperature rise was $0.038^{\circ}C$ in the whitening area and $0.024^{\circ}C$ in the marine forest area, indicating the higher long-term variation of sea temperature in the water affected by whitening. The results indicate that the continuous increase in winter water temperature due to climate change is expanding proliferation of whitening in the Jeju island.

Temperature, salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, and primary production were measured within the upper 200 m water column in the area around the South Shetland Islands in January, 2000. Surface temperature was relatively high in the Drake Passage north of the South Shetland Islands and low in the northeastern area of the Antarctic Peninsula. In contrast, surface salinity was low in the Drake Passage and increased toward the Antarctic Peninsula, reaching the maximum value in the northeastern area of the Antarctic Peninsula. Surface nutrients were low in the Drake Passage and high in the area near the South Shetland Islands. Surface chlorophyll-a was also low in the Drake Passage and near the Antarctic Peninsula and high in the area of the northern King George Island. The study area could be classified as four geographical zones based on the characteristic shape of the T/S diagrams;the Drake Passage, the Bransfield Strait, the mixed zone, and the Weddell Sea. Each geographical zone showed apparently different physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Phytoplankton biomass was relatively low in the Drake Passage and the Weddell Sea and high in the Bransfield Strait and the mixed zone. The low phytoplankton biomass in the Weddell Sea could be explained by the low water temperature and deep surface mixing down to 200 m. The high grazing pressure and low availability of iron could be responsible for the low phytoplankton biomass in the Drake Passage.

We have analyzed a long term data of marine environments, red tide information and meteorology acquired by NFRDI and KMA, in order to understand the characteristics of marine environments in the Narodo coastal waters which is known to be the first outbreak region of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms. During the period of from 1992 to 2007, Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms have first occurred more often in August. However, the outbreak time of the blooms tended to be earlier annually, and in addition, the surface salinity also had a tendency to increase. Consequently, it suggested that there might be a relationship between the transition of the outbreak time of the blooms and salinity. On the other hand, insolation was relatively rich but precipitation was relatively scarce in Gohung Province, compared to Yeosu or Tongyeong, when Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms first occur in Narodo coastal waters. Average water temperature and salinity in August in Narodo coastal waters were all higher than those in Gamak and Jinhae bays, suggesting that Narodo coastal waters are a region of relatively high water temperature and high salinity. Also, concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll- a were significantly low than those in Jinhae Bay, which is known to be a eutrophicated region, while the overall water quality seemed to be similar to Gamak Bay. The results of PCA(Principal Component Analysis) proved that insolation and water temperature are the most important factors for the outbreak of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in Narodo coastal waters while concentrations of COD and dissolved oxygen are secondly important. Furthermore, typhoons also appeared to be one of most important factors for the outbreak of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms.

To investigate impacts of waste disposal on the marine environment for 9 years since dumping activity commenced in the Yellow Sea, chemical analysis of seawater has been done in and around the ocean dumping site. Results show that biogeochemical changes have occurred locally in the dumping area compared with the reference area, resulting in low dissolved oxygen saturation, low pH, and high accumulation of nutrients in the bottom layer. According to cluster analysis, chemical environment of the study area can be largely divided into surface layer and bottom layer, and again the bottom layer can be divided into that of dumping area where nutrients are accumulated and that of reference area. Low pH, low dissolved oxygen, high COD and accumulation of nutrients mainly characterize the dumping area. Average concentration of total inorganic nitrogen in the bottom layer below the thermocline has increased from $3.7{\mu}M$ to $9.5{\mu}M$, 250% accumulation in the dumping area since 1988. Therefore, the present results clearly show that the dumping site of Yellow Sea has received excessive sewage input beyond the environmental assimilatory capacity during the last decade. It may result in serious aggravation of seawater quality and basic ecosystem, and devastation of overall fishing grounds of Yellow Sea in the near future.

본 연구에서는 장기간의 현장관측 수온, 염분자료를 분석하여 동중국해 북부해역에서 계절별 수온, 염분의 변동 특성을 조사하였다. 표층의 경우 춘계 수온상승에는 공간적인 차이가 있다. 또한 서부해역($125^{\circ}E$ 이서)에서는 32 psu 이하의 저염 분포가 나타나고 제주 남서해역에서 33psu 이하의 저염수가 춘계부터 제주 주변해역으로 확장한다. 하계 표층염분은 $28.0{\sim}32.4$ psu로 연중 최저값은 보이며, 전해역 표층 염분이 33psu 이하로 저염의 양자강 희석수가 하계에 동중국해 북부해역 표층 전체에 영향을 미치고 있다. 추계의 표층수온과 염분은 동고서저형의 수평분포를 나타낸다. 수온 하강은 서부해역인 대륙 연안수역이 동부의 대마난류수역에 비해 크고, 서부해역에서 33psu 이하의 설상형 저염분포가 이시기에 남동쪽으로 관입되는 형태로 나타나 동계의 남북방향의 염분전선과 이어지게 된다. 연직해황의 경우 동계 수온과 염분은 활발한 대륙작용에 의해 전수층에서 균일한 분포를 나타내며, 대륙연안수역에서는 저온, 저염($12^{\circ}C$, 33psu 이하)의 분포를, 대마난류수역에서는 고온, 고염($16^{\circ}C$, 34.4psu 이상)분포의 지역적인 특성으로 구별된다. 춘계에는 수온약층이 형성되며, 저층에는 동계에 형성되어 대륙연안수와 외양수 사이에 고립된 $13^{\circ}C$ 이하의 냉수괴가 분포한다. 염분은 표층 저염화가 시작된다. 하계에는 양자강 유출수의 영향으로 전해역 표층에서는 30psu 이하로 전해역에서 저염화 양상이 나타나며, 표층에서 30m 층까지 매우 강한 염분약층이 형성된다. 추계 수온 엽문은 균일한 연직수온분포가 나타나며, 동부해역에서는 수심 $75{\sim}100m$사이에서 수온, 염분약층이 형성된다. 동중국해의 수괴는 뚜렷한 계절 변동을 보이며, 대마난류수역인 동부해역에서는 수괴 계절변동의 요인으로 계절 수온변동이 지배적이고, 수온변동은 춘계와 하계 사이에 가장 크다. 중앙부와 대륙연안역인 서부해역에서는 수괴 계절변동에 수온외에 염분 변화가 주요한 요인으로 작용하며, 염분은 하계와 추계 사이에 가장 변동이 크게 나타난다. 즉, 동중국해의 수괴변동에는 변동요인에 따른 공간적인 차이가 있으며, 수괴변화 특성으로 동중국해는 수온변화가 수괴변동에 직접요인이 되는 동부 대마난류수역과 염분변화가 수괴변동의 직접요인인 서부의 대륙연안수역으로 구분된다.

To investigate the characteristic and the cause of the yellow water zones in the estuary of keum River, physico-chemical measurement and analyses were made on seawater samples collected from 18 stations in May, July, august, October in 1992, and February in 1993 respectively. The yellow water zones were recorded as grade 9 on the forel water color meter and appeared consistently at the stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 17 through out the year. The organically polluted matter gradually increased in the study area. The nutrient concentrations of inner waters of water zones were higher than that of the surrounding waters and were over red tide criteria levels. But abnormal aggregation of phytoplanktons could not occur because of lack of light and high current velocity. In Conclusion, this yellowish colored water zone was caused not by abnormal aggregation of phytoplanktons but by inorganic matters such as sand or soil particles, $85\%$ of which consisted of suspended solids.
