To correctly estimate ice load and ice resistance for a ship's hull, it is essential to understand the material properties of sea ice during ice field trials and to use the proper experimental procedure for gathering ice strength data. The first Korean-made icebreaking research vessel (IBRV), ARAON, had her second sea ice trial in the Arctic Ocean during July and August of 2010. This paper describes the test procedures used to properly obtain sea ice strength data, which provides the basic information on the ship's performance in an ice-covered sea and can be used to estimate the correct ice load and ice resistance on the IBRV ARAON. The data gathered from three sea ice field trials during the Arctic voyage of the ARAON includes the ice compressive strength, flexural strength, and failure strain of sea ice. This paper analyzes the gathered sea ice data in comparison with data from the first voyage of the ARAON during her Antarctic Sea ice trial in January 2010.

This paper focuses on a newly designed ice load formula based on the ARAON's 2016 Arctic field data in order to improve a structural design against ice loads. The strain gage signals from ARAON's hull plating were converted to the local ice pressure upon the hull plating using the influence coefficient matrix and finite element analysis. First, a traditional pressure-area relationship is derived by applying probabilistic approaches to handle the strains measured onboard the ARAON. Then, the local ice load prediction formula is re-analyzed after reviewing the ARAON's additional field data to consider information about the ship speed and thickness of the sea ice. It is shown that the newly developed pressure-area relationship well reflects the influence of other design parameters such as the ship speed and ice thickness in the prediction of local ice loads on Arctic vessels.

This paper studies the multi-domain coupled system of one dimensional Arctic temperature field and establishes identification model about the thermodynamic parameters of sea ice (heat storage capacity, density and conductivity) by the so-called output least-square estimate according to the temperature data acquired by a monitor buoy installed in the Arctic ocean. By the optimal control theory, the existence and dependability of weak solution and the identifiability of identification model have been given. Moreover, necessary optimality condition is proposed. Furthermore, the optimal algorithm for the identification model is constructed. By using the optimal thermodynamic parameters of Arctic sea ice, the numerical simulation is implemented, and the numerical results of temperature distribution of Arctic sea ice are demonstrated.

A field trial in an ice-covered sea is one of the most important tasks in the design of icebreaking ships and offshore structures. To correctly estimate the ice load and ice resistance of a ship's hull, it is essential to understand the material properties of sea ice during ice field trials and to use the proper experimental procedure for gathering effective ice data. The first Korean-made icebreaking research vessel, "ARAON," had her second sea ice trial in the Arctic Ocean during the summer season of 2010. This paper describes the test procedures used to obtain proper sea ice data, which provides the basic information for the ship's performance in an ice-covered sea and is used to estimate the correct ice load and ice resistance of the IBRV ARAON. The data gathered from the sea ice in the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea during the Arctic voyage of the ARAON includes the temperature, density, and salinity of the sea ice, which was believed to be from two-year old ice floes. This paper analyses the gathered sea ice data in comparison with data from the first voyage of the ARAON during her Antarctic Sea ice trial.

In summer 2010, field measurements of local ice loads were carried out in the Arctic Ocean using the Korean first icebreaking research vessel, ARAON. In some previous studies by the authors, several investigations for the data measured at 2010 including the relationship between the measuring points and ice loads, the possibility for observation of higher ice load and the relationship between the ship speed and ice loads were reported. During 10 days in August 2013, new field measurements were performed in similar waters of the Arctic Ocean using the same vessel, ARAON. The aim of this study is to investigate the statistical properties of 2013 measurements and compare results by two periods.

A full-scale field trial in ice-covered sea is one of the most important tasks in the design of icebreaking ships. The first Korean icebreaking research vessel 'ARAON', after her delivery in late 2009, had a sea ice field trial in the Arctic Sea during July-August, 2010. This paper describes the test procedures and data analysis on the icebreaking performance of the IBRV ARAON. The data gathered from the icebreaking performance test in the Chukchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea during the Arctic voyage of ARAON includes the speed and engine power of the ship as well as sea ice thickness and strength data. The air temperature, wind speed and heading of the ship were also measured during each sea ice trial. The ARAON was designed to break 1 m thick level ice with a flexural strength of 630kPa at a continuous speed of 3knots. She is registered as a KR POLAR 10 class ship. The principal dimensions of ARAON are 110 m, 19 m and 6.8 m in length, breadth and draft respectively. She is equipped with four 3,500kW diesel-electric main engines and two Azipod type propulsion motors. Four sea ice trials were carried out to understand the relationship between the engine power and the ship speed, given the Arctic ice condition. The analysis shows that the ARAON was able to operate at 1.5knots in a 2.5m thick medium ice floe condition with the engine power of 5MW, and the speed reached 3.1 knots at the same ice floe condition when the power increased to 6.6MW. She showed a good performance of speed in medium ice floe compared to the speed performance in level ice. More detailed analysis is summarized in this paper.

최근 전지구적인 기후변화가 직/간접적으로 북극환경에 큰 변화를 야기하고 있다. 해양-대기의 상호적인 피드백 작용은 최근 막대한 양의 해빙면적 감소를 초래했으며, 북극 온난화 현상을 가속시켜 왔다. 이러한 현상들은 직/간접적으로 북극의 생-물리학적 상호관계에 영향을 주어 해양생태계에 많은 변화를 초래할 것으로 보고되었다. 본 연구는 북극환경변화에 대해 물리-생물학적인 현상의 변화 및 인자간의 관계성을 포괄적으로 이해하기 위해 수행되었다. 북극의 환경변화를 조사하기 위해 SeaWiFS 및 MODIS-Aqua에서 제공하는 클로로필 농도와 OISST의 표층수온, ECMWF ERA-Interim의 해빙농도 자료를 이용하였다. 연구기간은 1998년-2016년 여름이며 조사해역은 북위 $60^{\circ}$ 이상의 해역으로 제한하였다. 전체적으로 클로로필의 증가($0.15mg\;m^{-3}\;decade^{-1}$), 표층수온의 상승($0.43^{\circ}C\;decade^{-1}$), 해빙농도의 감소($-5.37%\;decade^{-1}$)를 보였으나 해역별로 차이를 나타냈다. 이들 인자간 상관성 분석에서 표층수온과 해빙농도간의 상관성은 전 해역에 걸쳐 강한 음의 상관관계(r=-0.76)를 보인 반면, 클로로필과 해빙농도의 관계는 자료의 한계성으로 인해 전체적으로 낮은 상관성($r={\pm}0.1$)을 나타내었다. 또한 표층수온과 클로로필의 상관성은 해역에 따라 편차를 보이나 약 ${\pm}0.6$의 상관성을 보였다.

본 연구는 북극해에 분포하는 유빙의 움직임을 이해하기 위해 현장관측 자료와 입자 추적 방법을 사용하여 분포 및 이동경향을 분석하였다. 북극해에서 유빙의 움직임은 NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)에서 제공하는 ITP(Ice-Tethered Profiler)의 자료 중에서 2009년부터 2018년 자료를 이용했다. 유빙의 유동은 각 연도별로 분류하고 각각의 ITP 자료를 이용하여 위치 및 속도를 분석하였다. 입자 추적은 HYCOM(Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model)과 ECMWF(European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts)에서 제공하는 일별 해류 및 바람 자료를 사용하여 2009년부터 2018년까지의 유빙의 움직임을 모의하였다. 북극해 전역에서 유빙의 이동경향을 분석하기 위해서 현장관측 자료인 ITP자료를 입력 자료로 이용하여 북극해에서 해류와 바람과의 관계식을 계산하여 라그랑지안 입자 추적을 수행하였다. 입자 추적 시뮬레이션은 해류에 의한, 그리고 해류와 바람에 의한 영향을 고려한 두 종류의 실험을 수행하였고, 대부분의 입자는 해류와 바람의 영향을 고려한 경우에 현장관측 자료와 동일하게 재현되었다. 북극해에서 유빙의 움직임은 바람의 영향을 고려한 관계식을 이용하여 재현되었고, 이를 이용하여 특정 연도의 유빙의 이동경향을 분석하였다. 2010년의 경우 Arctic Oscillation Index(AOI)는 음의 해로 입자들은 보퍼트 환류(Beaufort Gyre)를 따라 명확하게 움직임을 보이고, 극점 인근에서는 상대적으로 더 빠른 속도를 나타낸다. 반면에 2017년의 경우 AOI는 양의 해로 대부분의 입자들은 Gyre에 크게 영향을 받지 않는 움직임을 보이며 보퍼트 해 (Beaufort Sea) 인근에서 나타나는 이동속도 또한 상대적으로 감소하였고, 극점에서의 이동속도도 감소했다. 2010년과 2017년의 계절적 특징은 2010년도의 유빙의 이동속도는 동계(0.22 m/s)에 증가되고 춘계(0.16 m/s)에 감소되며, 2017년의 경우 하계(0.22 m/s)에 증가되고 춘계(0.13 m/s)에 감소되었다. 결과적으로 입자추적 방법은 제한된 현장관측 자료를 대신하여 북극해에서 유빙의 분포 및 이동경향을 이해할 수 있는 방법으로 위성자료와 연계하여 장기적인 유빙의 탐지 및 이동경향을 이해하는 유용한 방법이 될 것이다.

Interaction of grounded ice ridges with underlying seabed is one of the major considerations in the design of Arctic pipeline system. Previously several ice scour models were developed by researchers to describe the ice scour-seabed interaction mechanism. In this paper, a parametric study on ice scouring mechanism is performed and the limitation of ice scour-seabed interaction models is discussed. Simple laboratory tests are carried out and then the shape pattern of deposited soil around the ice is redefined. New ice scour model assumes trapezoidal cross section based on the field observation data. Ice scour depth and soil resistance forces on seabed are calculated with varying the keel angle of a model ice ridge.
