동중국해 북부에서 쿠로시오의 경계역으로 확장된 중국대륙 연안수가 주변의 북상 난류역에 의해 포획된 후 고립되는 현상이 1999년 및 2003년 NOAA 위성영상에 포착되었다. 1999년의 경우 cold core eddy는 약 2개월간 존재(5월초～6월 하순)하였고, cold core의 중심 수온은 15～20℃로 주변해역의 17～23℃보다 2～3℃ 낮게 나타났다. 1999년 5월 7일 획득된 SeaWiFS 위성자료로부터 추정된 클로로필 α 분포는 1999년 5월 6일부터 획득된 NOAA 위성수온 영상에 나타난 cold core eddy의 주변 가장자리 해역에서 비교적 높게 나타났다. 2003년 경우 2월 중순에 cold core의 수온은 9～10℃c였으며 직경 150km 정도였다. cold core의 수평규모는 50m 등수심 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 이어도를 중심으로 동계 및 춘계에 나타나는 cold core eddy의 형성 메카니즘은 중국대륙 연안수와 쿠로시오 난류가 만나는 경계역에서의 힘의 균형과 계절풍 조건, 해저 지형 분포와 밀접한 관계성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

In general, the dam break problem is demonstrated to simulate open-channel disturbance due to large violent waves. These days, the large violent waves at shore and coastline can be seen frequently such like tsunami. The conventional computational fluid dynamics program based on Grid system, can be used to simulate this problem with large deformation of free surface in the restricted condition due to its limitation. The particle method based on fully Lagrangian approach is able to simulate large deformation of free surface by tracking each particles. In this study, the simulation of disturbance of mobile-bed due to large violent waves was investigated by using particle method.

Temporal and spatial variations of temperature and salinity around Ganjeol Point during January, April, August and November 2011 were studied using the data from CTD observations and temperature monitoring buoys deployed at 20 stations in the southeast coast of Korea. Temperature and salinity were nearly homogeneous through the whole depth by mixing of the seawater in spring and winter related to the sea surface cooling. Stratification induced by the river runoff and the bottom cold water was clear in summer. In autumn, sea water had vertical mixing initiated from surface layer and weak stratification at the middle and bottom layers. Low temperature and high salinity emerged throughout the year near Ganjeol Point, which inferred from turbulent mixing and upwelling by its topographical effect. Major periods of 1/4~1.4 day temperature fluctuations were recorded for the most part of the stations. According to the cross spectral density analysis, high coherence and small time lag for temperature fluctuation between layers were shown at Ganjeol Point. However, those features at the northen area of Hoeya river were opposed to Ganjeol Point. From analyses, thermohaline structure and its fluctuation around Ganjeol Point were characterized into those three parts, the south of Ganjeol Point, Ganjeol Point and the north of Ganjeol Point.

To understand the natural environments and human cultures in the Yellow Sea regions, this paper deals especially the climate and sea level fluctuation in the Yellow Sea and its surrounding region in the period of late Pleistocene (125, 000 yr BP) to Holocene. During the glacial maximum (about 15, 000 yr BP to 18, 000 yr BP), the climate might be cold and arid. These arid climate in the Yellow Sea region did make desertization possible. Possible human culture exchanges between China, Korea and Japan might be carried in a easy way, because the entire basin of the Yellow Sea was exposed as land. Paleoshorelines of the Yellow Sea in the period of 10, 000 yr BP, 9, 000 ry BP and 6, 000 yr BP are presented and sea level fluctuation curve from 37, 000 yr BP (late Pleistocene) to present (late Holocene), for the first time, is presented based on a careful reconsideration of existing old data and recent new data.

The possible effects of several environmental conditions on the catches of anchovy with a set net located in the water off Samchunpo were observed during the period of June 1∼Sep. 30, 1975. The best catches of anchovy were made when the surface water temperature was 24∼25$^{\circ}C$. If the surface temperature were below 18$^{\circ}C$ or above 26$^{\circ}C$, the catches were significantly smaller. The best catches were observed when the salinity was 28∼30 . If the salinities were below 25 or above 33 , the catches were considerably smaller. Increases in the catches were noticed as the transparency of the water decreased for certain range, and the best catches were made when the transparency was 2.0∼2.4m. The catches of anchovy were appeared to be related to the passage of cyclones, and significantly increased catches were observed 2 days after the passage of a cyclone. Significantly increased catches were also made when the atmospheric pressure was higher than 1,015mb under the influence of a tropical maritime air mass. the catches were found to be related to the tidal differences, and the average catch per day during the spring tide was 47 times as much as that of the neap tide.

Observations of water temperature, salinity, pH and transparency of the Ko-ri sea area were made between May 1969 and April 1970. A seasonal thermocline was well defined in August, strongly isolating the warm serface water(19-22$^{\circ}C$) from the cold bottom water (14-17.5$^{\circ}C$) introducing from the open sea. In February the coldest isothermal water (11$^{\circ}C$) occurred. In the warm months(May- September), the salinity patterns show great variations with the coastal run-off During the cold months(December-April) the highest isohaline water (35 ) occurred. Annual ranges of surface and bottom pH values were 7.8-8.4(averaging 8.27) and 7.9-8.4(averaging 8.26), respectively. The transparency was greatest (6.0-7.0m) during winter and spring months and least (1.2-2.5m) during summer months.

Even though recurring eddies at the terminal end of the East Korean Warm Current have been identified in the thermal infrared imagery from the NOAA/AVHRR sensor and ocean color data from Orbview-2/SeaWiFS sensor, it is difficult to make observation in the field regarding recurring eddies located around the Wonsan coastal area in North Korea. But we could get in situ data related to an eddy from an ARGOS satellite tracking drifter trapped in the eddy on January 4th, 1999. An ARGOS drifter, a NOAA satellite tracked buoy was trapped by the eddy during January 4th.March 18, 1999. The ARGOS drifter rotated 10 times per 72 days on the edge of the eddy located at $39^{\circ}N$, $129^{\circ}E$. The diameter of the eddy was about 100 km. The horizontal rotation velocity of the recurring cold-core anti-cyclonic eddy was 1.53 km/h(42 cm/sec). The sea surface temperatures of the eddy varied from $14.7^{\circ}C$ on January 5, 1999 to $9.6^{\circ}C$ on March 18,1999. To study the mechanism of the recurring eddy. we tried to find out the relationship between the vector of the drifter moving in the eddy and the wind vector in Sokcho and Ulleung Island located near the eddy in southern Korea, and the difference in sea level between Ulleung Island and Mukho. We hope the results of this study would be useful for calibration and validation data of simulation and numerical modeling studies of the recurring eddy.

The first 7 years of altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON(T/P) were analyzed to study the surface circulation and its variability in the East Asian Marginal Seas. Long term averaged T/P sea level time series data where compared with in situ sea level measurements from a float-operated type tide gauge around of south Korea and Japan. T/]P data are a large contaminated by 60-day tidal aliasing effect, very near the alias periods of M2 and 52. When this 60-day effect is removed, the data agree well with the tide gauge data with 4.6 cm averaged RMS difference. The T/P derived sea level variability reveals clearly the well-known, strong current-topography such as Kuroshio. The T/P mean sea level of North Pacific(NP) was higher than Yellow Sea(YS) and East Sea(ES). The T/P sea level variability, with strong eddy and meandering, was the largest in eastern part of Japan and this variability was mainly due to the influence of bottom topography in Kuroshio Extension area.

Sea level variability and eddy in the Amsterdam-Crozet-Kerguelen region of the South Indian Ocean were studied during 1 year(October 15, 1992~October 15, 1993) using multi-satellite data(Topex/Poseidon, ERSl) produced by signal treatement. We found that generally sea level variabilities(>10cm) exist along the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the area of 35$^{\circ}$~46$^{\circ}$S and especially strong sea level variabilities(20~30cm) were occurred by the effects of eddy due to botton topography in two small area: 49$^{\circ}$-57$^{\circ}$E and 38$^{\circ}$~42$^{\circ}$S, and 58$^{\circ}$ -64$^{\circ}$E and 42$^{\circ}$-44$^{\circ}$S.

The changes of sea bottom configuration, which may cause the coastal disasters, have been considered as social problems. It is obvious that the beach deformation is attributable to the sediment transport associated with erosion and siltation in coastal areas such esturies, channel and harbors. The prediction method and countermeasures far them, however, are not on the level of satisfaction, which indicates that make efforts should be made on developing them. Groin was constructed at Hak-Dong gravel beach to embark ship at 1996, as a result region of right of groin, severe erosion of beach is proceeding till now 1999. In this study, based on the field measurements, involved the one-line theory model which was selected for the prediction of shoreline change to prepare coastal protection methods of Hak-Deng gravel beach. Author found that the storaged sediment estimation model by Sonu and Beek(1971) is useful model at the Hak-Dong gravel beach by the use of topographical survey data from September, 1998 to September, 1999.
