To characterize airborne particulate carbon and its temporal variation in the heavily industrialized metropolitan city, Seoul in South Korea, aerosol sampling was performed from 1986 to 1996. Correlation coefficients of elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) with mass concentration of fine particles ($\underline{\leq}$2.1 ${\mu}m$) are 0.73 and 0.51, respectively. EC concentrations of the fine particle mode are 10.1, 5.9, 4.5, and 7.4 ${\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ in winter, spring, summer, and autumn, respectively. On the other hand, OC concentration shows maximum value in winter and followed by autumn, summer, and spring. A seasonal peak in the ratio of OC to EC in fine particles was observed during the summer photochemical season from June to August. Concentrations of EC and OC in Asian dust storm events are generally higher than in non- Asian dust storm events except in 1990. The difference of EC concentrations between Asian dust storm periods and non-Asian dust storm periods are much larger than those of OC concentrations. There are slight increases of EC concentration between 1987 and 1990 and a gradual decrease between 1990 and 1996.

An unusual autumn storm developed rapidly in the western part of the East sea on the early morning of 23 October 2006. This storm produced a record-breaking heavy rain and strong wind in the northern and middle part of the Yeong-dong region; 24-h rainfall of 304 mm over Gangneung and wind speed exceeding 63.7 m $s^{-1}$ over Sokcho. In this study, MTSAT-1R (Multi-fuctional Transport Satellite) water vapor and infrared channel imagery are examined to find out some features which are dynamically associated with the development of the storm. These features may be the precursor signals of the rapidly developing storm and can be employed for very short range forecast and nowcasting of severe storm. The satellite features are summarized: 1) MTSAT-1R Water Vapor imagery exhibited that distinct dark region develops over the Yellow sea at about 12 hours before the occurrence of maximum rainfall about 1100 KST on 23 October 2006. After then, it changes gradually into dry intrusion. This dark region in the water vapor image is closely related with the positive anomaly in 500 hPa Potential Vorticity field. 2) In the Infrared imagery, low stratus (brightness temperature: $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$) develops from near Bo-Hai bay and Shanfung peninsula and then dissipates partially on the western coast of Korean peninsula. These features are found at 10~12 hours before the maximum rainfall occurrence, which are associated with the cold and warm advection in the lower troposphere. 3) The IR imagery reveals that two convective cloud cells (brightness temperature below $-50^{\circ}C$) merge each other and after merging it grows up rapidly over the western part of East sea at about 5 hours before the maximum rainfall occurrence. These features remind that there must be the upward flow in the upper troposphere and the low-layer convergence over the same region of East sea. The time of maximum growth of the convective cloud agrees well with the time of the maximum rainfall.

Polar cap potential has long been considered as an indicator for the amount of energy flowing in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Thus, the estimation of polar cap potential is important to understand the physical process of the magnetosphere. To estimate the polar cap potential in the Northern Hemisphere, merging electric field by Kan & Lee (1979) is adopted. Relationships between the PC index and calculated merging electric field ($E^*$) are examined during full-time and storm-time periods separately. For this purpose Dst, AL, and PC indices and solar wind data are utilized during the period from 1996-2003. From this linear relationship, polar cap potential (${\Phi}^*$) is estimated using the formula by Doyle & Burke (1983). The values are represented as $58.1{\pm}26.9$ kV for the full-time period and $123.7{\pm}84.1$ kV for a storm-time period separately. Considering that the average value of polar cap potential of Doyle & Burke (1983) is about 47 kV during moderately quiet intervals with the S3-2 measurements, these results are similar to such. The monthly averaged variation of Dst, AL, and PC indices are then compared. The Dst and AL indices show distinct characteristics with peaks during equinoctial season whereas the average PC index according to the month shows higher values in autumn than in spring. The monthly variations of the linear correlation coefficients between solar wind parameters and geomagnetic indices are also examined. The PC-AL linear correlation coefficient is highest, being 0.82 with peaks during the equinoctial season. As with the AL index, the PC index may also prove useful for predicting the intensity of an auroral substorm. Generally, the linear correlation coefficients are shown low in summer due to conductance differences and other factors. To assess the role of the PC index during the recovery phase of a storm, the relation between the cumulative PC index and the duration is examined. Although the correlation coefficient lowers with the storm size, it is clear that the average correlation coefficient is high. There is a tendency that duration of the recovery phase is longer as the PC index increases.

본 연구는 동해안의 8개 해빈을 대상으로 2012년 3월부터 2014년 2월까지 2년 동안 지형 측량을 실시하여, 해안선과 해빈의 계절적 변화 특성과 경향을 파악하였다. 동해안의 해안선은 계절적 변화량이 연간 변화량보다 크게 나타났고, 강원도와 경상북도 해안의 계절적 변화 양상에는 지역적인 차이가 다소 존재하였다. 동해안 8개 해빈의 계절적 변화를 종합하면, 여름철에는 해안선의 후퇴와 해빈의 침식이, 가을철에는 해안선의 전진과 해빈의 퇴적이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 세계의 여러 중위도 해안의 계절적 변화 경향과는 다르지만, 우리나라 서해안 및 동해안의 선행 연구와는 대체로 일치한다. 여름철에 우세하게 발생하는 침식 현상은 태풍에 의한 폭풍파가 가장 큰 요인이며, 폭풍파에 의한 해안 침식은 늦겨울에도 잘 나타난다. 그리고 가을철에 우세한 해빈의 퇴적 현상은 여름철의 강한 침식 이후에 발생하는 해안 평형 작용의 결과로 판단된다.

박테리아-동물플랑크톤의 영양적 관계와 이에 미치는 요인들을 파악하기 위하여 2005년 4월부터 12월까지 팔당호 생태계의 영양상태가 다른 팔당댐앞과 경안천 두 지점을 선정하여 동물플랑크톤의 여과율과 박테리아의 C-flux를 분석하였다. 동물플랑크톤은 소형 (Microzooplankton, MICZ: 60-200 ${\mu}m$)과 대형동물플랑크톤(Macrozooplankton, MACZ: >200 ${\mu}m$)으로 구분하여 각 그룹에 대하여 별도로 섭식률을 조사하였다. 두 지점에서 박테리아 밀도와 계절적 변화양상은 유사하게 나타났다. 동물플랑크톤은 두 지점 모두 윤충류(Brachionus, Keratella, Polyathra)가 수적으로 크게 우점하였으나, 탄소생물량은 지각류(Daphnia)가 가장 높았다. 동물플랑크톤은 봄에 높은 밀도와 탄소생물량을 보였고 여름철 집중강우 시기를 기점으로 크게 감소하였다. 지점별로는 경안천에서 상대적으로 높은 탄소생물량이 나타났다. 박테리아에 대한 동물플랑크톤 여과율은 팔당댐앞에서 봄, 가을철에 높고 여름철에 낮게 나타나는 계절에 따른 변화가 명확하게 나타난 반면, 경안천에서는 팔당댐앞과는 달리 여름철에 높게 나타났다. C-flux는 두 지점 모두 봄철과 가을철에 높게 나타났다. 군집여과율과 박테리아 C-flux는 MACZ가 MICZ보다 높았고, 그 정도는 경안천에서 더 높게 나타났다. 여름철의 집중강우로 인한 짧은 체류시간과 수체의 교란이 동물플랑크톤의 섭식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다.

Long term monitoring was conducted to investigate a surface runoff of pollution from urban highway. The monitoring data was collected for 18 rainfall events and was used to correlate pollution load to various parameters, such as rainfall intensity, antecedent dry days and total discharge flow. Runoff coefficient and seasonal variation were also evaluated. The mean runoff coefficient of the highway was 0.823(range; $0.4687{\sim}0.9884$), and wash-off ratio for $COD_{Mn}$ and SS loads was 72.6% and 64.3%, respectively. For the initial rainfall event, the runoff EMC of $COD_{Mn}$ was high in summer and the EMC of SS was high in autumn season. However the seasonal variation of T-N and T-P was not significant. The discharged $COD_{Mn}$-EMC was $147.6\;mg/L{\sim}9.0\;mg/L$ on the generated $COD_{Mn}$-EMC of $98.8\;mg/L{\sim}8.9\;mg/L$. While the generated EMC of SS was in $285.7\;mg/L{\sim}20.0\;mg/L$ and its discharged EMC was in $190.4\;mg/L{\sim}8.0\;mg/L$. EMC of pollutants was not directly related to the first flush rainfall intensity and the antecedent dry days. But the correlation was relatively high between EMC and cumulative runoff flow volume. The trend of EMC was reduced with the cumulative runoff flow volume.

이 연구는 안면도 둔두리 해식애를 대상으로 주기적인 현장조사를 통해 침식율을 산정하고, 침식형태를 분류하였다. 침식기준목을 이용한 현장 측정결과, 해식애의 연간 침식율은 지점별로 약 25~102cm/yr 정도로 추정되었다. 침식율은 봄에서 여름까지 점차 증가하다가 가을에 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 6~7월 사이의 침식율이 다소 감소하는 추세를 보이다가 7~9월 사이에 급격히 증가하였다. 이러한 원인은 연구지역에 직접적인 영향을 끼친 여름 집중호우 및 태풍으로 발생한 폭풍해일에 의해 해식애의 침식이 다른 기간에 비해 급격하게 진행된 것으로 판단된다. 그 후 해식애의 침식율은 가을철이 되면서 점차 감소하다 12월에서 1월이 되면 다시 증가세를 보이는데, 이는 겨울철 해식애의 기반암이 동결 융해작용을 반복하면서 기계적풍화가 활발히 진행되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 둔두리 해식애의 침식 형태별 유형은 세 가지 유형으로 구분이 된다. 첫 번째 Type A의 경우 동일한 기반암 혹은 경암층으로 이루어진 해식애에서 관찰되는 유형이다. 두 번째, Type B의 경우 동일한 기반암 혹은 경암층으로 이루어진 해식애 면에 토양을 포함한 풍화물질이 형성되어 있는 비교적 Type A에 비해 경사가 완만한 해식애에서 관찰되는 유형이다. 마지막으로, Type C의 경우 경암층과 연암층이 혼재되어있는 해식애에서 관찰되는 유형으로, 강우나 파랑에너지에 의해 연암층이 먼저 붕락 및 침식되고 노출된 경암층이 추가적으로 붕락이 이루어지는 유형이다.

The real nature of the west wind in Shelley's Ode to the West Wind is the divine providence which influences all things in this world- that is, whether they are on land, in the sky, or in the sea. The divine providence is the manifestation of something beyond the present and tangibel object. In the first stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the wild wind, the breath of Autumn's being, the unseen presence, the azure sister of the Spring, a Destroyer, a Preserver, the winged seed, a creator, a philosopher, a poet, Shelley, and the wild spirit moving everywhere. In the second stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is cloud, the angel of rain and lightning, fierce Maenad, the approaching storm, the congregated might, the black rain, the fire, hail, solid atmosphere, the tremendous power of revolutionary change, and the power that influences all things in the sky. In the third stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the voice that makes the oozy woods which wear the sapless foliage of the Atlantic, and the power makes the blue Mediterranean wake from his summer dream. the fit medium of expression which Shelley's soul was seeking for, Shelley's passion, Shelley's partner, Shelley's co-worker, and a strong presence which influences in the sea. In the fourth stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the mightest presence, the power, the strength, the free presence, the uncontrollable, the wanderer over heaven, a vision, the tameless, the swift, the proud and the God who can save Shelley form the heavy weight of hours and lift Shelley as a wave a leaf, a cloud. In the fifth stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the mighty harmony, the fierce Spirit, Shelley's spirit, the impetuous spirit, incanation of this verse, spark, the trumpet of a prophecy, the Providence which can make the Winter depart and call Spring, and the prophet. To conclude, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is Shelley's accumulated insight that he visulize his impulse of revolutionary thought.

Seasonal occurrence of benthic algae and changes of subtidal vegetation were studied for their species composition, diversity and biomass during 1982 and 1983 at several selected sites at Juckdo Island (38$^{\circ}$12'N, 128$^{\circ}$32'E), eastern coast of Korea. Three large brown algae which played a role in change of algal vegetation through their great biomass were investigated with regard to their seasonal growth. Large brown algae such as Undaria pinnatifida, Costaria costata, Laminaria japonica, Agarum cribrosum, Sargassum confusum and S. hornerii constitute the major portion of vegetation in this area throughout the year. Algal vegetation in spring time is characterized by dominance of species U. pinnatifida and C. costata, whereas the summer vegetation by S. confusum and S. hornerii. In autumn large brown algae are shedded and only small algae, such as Chondrus ocellatus and Grateloupia filicina, remain. The vegetation in winter is dominated by the growth of U. pinnatifida and C. costata. Monthly changes in mean length and weight of randomly collected U. pinnatifida, C. costata and S. confusum are as follows; U. pinnatifida occurs from December to June and shows their maximum growth during March (120 cm in length, 201 g/individual in wet weight), its maximum growth rate is 1.4 cm/day, 3.3 g/day in this month. The growth season of C. costata is very similar to U.pinnatifida, but their average maximum length(110 cm) and weight (106 g/ind.) are lower than U. pinnatifida. The greatest growth rate is during March (1.8 cm/day, 2.0g/day). S. confusum is present throughout the year and reaches the maximum growth (102 cm, 63g/ind.) in July. Maximum growth rate (1.5 cm/day, 1.2 g/day) occurs also during this month. U. pinnatifida and C. costata show different months of maximum growth evidently during the two year. This seems to be caused by a considerable damage to the local vegetation followed by heavy storm in February 1983.
