  • Wind vector information over the ocean is currently obtained using multiple beam scatterometer data. The scatterometers on ERS-1/2 generate wind vector information with a spatial resolution of 50km and accuracies of $\pm$2m/s in wind speed and $\pm$20$^{\circ}$ in wind direction. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data over the ocean have the potential of providing wind vector information independent of weather conditions with finer resolution. Finer resolution wind vector information can often be useful particularly in coastal regions where the scatterometer wind information is often corrupted because of the lower resolution system characteristics which is often contaminated by the signal returns from the coastal areas or ice in the case of arctic environments. In this paper we tested CMOD_4 and CMOD_IFR2 algorithms for extracting the wind vector from SAR data. These algorithms require precise estimation of normalized radar cross-section and wind direction from the SAR data and the local incidence angle. The CMOD series algorithms were developed for the C-band, VV-Polarized SAR data, typically for the ERS SAR data. Since RADARSAT operates at the same C-band but with HH-Polarization, the CMOD series algorithms should not be used directly. As a preliminary approach of resolving with this problem, we applied the polarization ratio between the HH and VV polarizations in the wind vectors estimation. Two test areas, one in front of Inchon and several sites around Jeju island were selected and investigated for wind vector estimation. The new results were compared with the wind vectors obtained from CMOD algorithms. The wind vector results agree well with the observed wind speed data. However the estimation of wind direction agree with the observed wind direction only when the wind speed is greater than approximately 3.0m/s.

  • The atmospheric effects on the retrieval of sea ice concentration from passive microwave sensors are examined using simulated data typical for the Arctic summer. The simulation includes atmospheric contributions of cloud liquid water and water vapor and surface wind on surface emissivity on the microwave signatures. A plane parallel radiative transfer model is used to compute brightness temperatures at SSM/I frequencies over surfaces that contain open water, first-year (FY) ice and multi-year (MY) ice and their combinations. Synthetic retrievals in this study use the NASA Team (NT) algorithm for the estimation of sea ice concentrations. This study shows that if the satellite sensor’s field of view is filled with only FY ice the retrieval is not much affected by the atmospheric conditions due to the high contrast between emission signals from FY ice surface and the signals from the atmosphere. Pure MY ice concentration is generally underestimated due to the low MY ice surface emissivity that results in the enhancement of emission signals from the atmospheric parameters. Simulation results in marginal ice areas also show that the atmospheric and surface effects tend to degrade the accuracy at low sea ice concentration. FY ice concentration is overestimated and MY ice concentration is underestimated in the presence of atmospheric water and surface wind at low ice concentration. In particular, our results suggest that strong surface wind is more important than atmospheric water in contributing to the retrieval errors of total ice concentrations over marginal ice zones.

  • This paper describes the whole procedures to determine ice-induced global loads on the ship using measured full-scale data in accordance with the method proposed by the Canadian Hydraulics Centre of the National Research Council of Canada. Ship motions of 6 degrees of freedom (dof) are found by processing the commercial sensor signals named Motion Pak II under the assumption of rigid body motion. Linear accelerations as well as angular rates were measured by Motion Pak II data. To eliminate the noise of the measured data and the staircase signals due to the resolution of the sensor, a band pass filter that passes frequencies between 0.001 and 0.6 Hz and cubic spline interpolation resampling had been applied. 6 dof motions were computed by the integrating and/or differentiating the filtered signals. Added mass and damping force of the ship had been computed by the 3-dimensional panel method under the assumption of zero frequency. Once the coefficients of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic data as well as all the 6 dof motion data had been obtained, global ice loads can be computed by solving the fully coupled 6 dof equations of motion. Full-scale data were acquired while the ARAON rammed old ice floes in the high Arctic. Estimated ice impact forces for two representative events showed 7e15 MN when ship operated in heavy ice conditions.

  • Chlorella spp. are green algae that are found across wide-ranging habitats from deserts to arctic regions, with various strains having adapted to survive under diverse environmental conditions. In this study, two novel Chlorella strains (ABC-002, ABC-008) were isolated from a freshwater lake in South Korea during the winter season and examined for possible use in the biofuel production process. The comparison of ABC-002 and ABC-008 strains with Chlorella vulgaris UTEX265 under two different temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) revealed their cold-tolerant phenotypes as well as high biomass yields. The maximum quantum yields of UTEX25, ABC-002, and ABC-008 at $10^{\circ}C$ were 0.5594, 0.6747, and 0.7150, respectively, providing evidence of the relatively higher cold-resistance capabilities of these two strains. Furthermore, both the biomass yields and lipid content of the two novel strains were found to be higher than those of UTEX265; the overall lipid productivities of ABC-002 and ABC-008 were 1.7 ~ 2.8 fold and 1.6 ~ 4.2 fold higher compared to that of UTEX265, respectively. Thus, the high biomass and lipid productivity over a wide range of temperatures indicate that C. vulgaris ABC-002 and ABC-008 are promising candidates for applications in biofuel productions via outdoor biomass cultivation.

  • This study describes the model tests in ice according to the frictional coefficient of an ice-breaking ship and the change in ice resistance by the analysis method for each component of ice resistances. The target vessel is a 90K DWT ice-breaking tanker capable of operating in ARC7 ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean, and twin POD propellers are fitted. The hull was specially painted with four different frictional coefficients on the same ship model. The total ice resistance can be separated by ice breaking, ice buoyancy, ice clearing resistances through the tests in level ice, pre-sawn ice and creep test in pre-sawn ice under sea ice thickness of 1.2 m and 1.7 m. Ice resistance was analyzed by correcting the thickness and bending strength of model ice by the ITTC correction method. As the frictional coefficient between the hull and ice increases, ice buoyancy and clearing resistances increase significantly. When the surface of the hull is rough, it is considered that the broken ice pieces do not slip easily to the side, resulting in an increase in ice buoyancy resistance. Also, the frictional coefficient was found to have a great influence on the ice clearing resistance as the ice thickness became thicker.

  • 본 연구에서는 지난 40년 동안(1973~2012)의 우리나라 기상청 산하 61개 지점 일기온 자료와 NCEP/NCAR 재분석 자료를 바탕으로 우리나라 지역별 겨울철 극한저온현상 발생 시 동아시아 영역의 종관 기후 패턴의 특징을 밝히고자 하였다. 일최고기온과 일최저기온 하위 10 퍼센타일 기준으로 정의된 겨울철 극한저온현상은 주로 겨울철 전반기(12월 초순~1월 중순)에 2~7일 간격으로 우리나라 전역 또는 주요 산맥 기준 동서지역으로 구분되어 발생함을 알 수 있다. 해수면기압과 바람벡터 등의 지상 종관 자료 합성장 분석에 따르면 총 13개로 구분되는 우리나라 겨울철 극한저온현상 발생 공간 패턴은 산맥뿐만 아니라 시베리아 고기압과 알류샨 저기압의 상대적인 확장 범위와 강도와 밀접한 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있다. 대류권 중층(500 hPa) 종관기후도 분석에 따르면, 블러킹 형태의 저기압이 상층 찬 공기를 고위도 지역에서 한반도로 이류시킬 때 우리나라에 겨울철 극한저온현상이 발생하기에 적합한 조건이 형성됨을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과들은 지역규모 이상의 동아시아 겨울철 극한저온현상 예보를 향상시키기 위해 시베리아 고기압, 알류샨 저기압, 상층 블러킹 등의 종관 기후 요소를 모니터링하는 것이 중요함을 가리킨다.

  • 망가니즈 단괴를 구성하고 있는 금속 원소의 산화상태의 규명은 단괴의 형성기작 및 성인에 대한 이해를 증진시키고 단괴 형성 당시 수계의 산화-환원 전위 등의 고해양 환경에 대한 단서를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 상용 X선 광전자 분광분석(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; XPS)을 활용하여 자연계 망가니즈 단괴를 구성하는 광물의 결합상태와 금속 원소의 산화상태에 대한 정보를 획득하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 위하여 광물학적 변동의 영향이 효과적으로 기록된 동시베리아해 천해 단괴를 그 연구의 대상으로 삼았다. XPS Mn 2p 스펙트럼 분석 결과, 단괴의 중심부에서 외곽부로 이동함에 따라 망가니즈 산화 상태에 유의미한 변화가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 단괴의 중심부는 Mn4+가 약 67.9%의 비율을 보이는 반면, 단괴의 최외곽부는 환원된 형태의 Mn3++Mn2+의 증가로 인해 Mn4+의 비율이 약 63%로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 단괴 성장에 따른 망가니즈 산화수의 감소는 단괴가 성장함에 따라 토도로카이트에서 버네사이트로 산화망가니즈 광물종이 변화한다는 기존 연구 결과로 설명된다. 또한 O 1s 스펙트럼 분석 결과 단괴 중심부에 비하여 외곽에서 Mn-O-H 결합이 우세하게 나타나는데, 이는 층상형 버네사이트가 우세한 외곽부에서 보다 해수 혹은 공극수로 인한 수화가 효과적으로 일어났음을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과는 망가니즈 단괴의 성장 중 수계의 산화-환원 양상 등 고해양 조건의 변동에 대해 XPS 방법론이 직접적으로 활용될 수 있음을 제시하며, 향후 보다 높은 분해능의 방사광 X선원을 이용한 실험을 통해 보다 세밀한 단위의 망가니즈 산화수 정보의 획득 및 미량 금속원소의 산화 상태 연구가 가능할 것임을 보여준다.
