It rains heavily, such as long rain and typhoons, during a typical rainy season in Korea. In this season, several fuel contamination accidents by water and vehicular problems caused by water contaminated fuel occur. Many research groups have studied the effects of water contaminated fuel on vehicles and environment. However the characteristics of water contaminated fuel have not been studied. In this study, we prepared diesel samples with a constant ratio of water (0~30 volume %) using an emulsifier. Then, we analyzed these diesel samples for their representative fuel properties. In the analytical results, diesel with 30% water showed an increase in fuel properties such as density (823→883 kg/㎥), kinematic viscosity (2.601→6.345 ㎟/s), flash point (47→56℃), pour point (-22→2℃), CFPP (cold filter plugging point) (-17→20℃) and copper corrosion number (1a→2a). The low temperature characteristics, such as low pour point and CFPP, blocks the fuel filter in the cold season. In addition, water contaminated diesel decreases lubricity (190→410 ㎛) under high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) and derived cetane number (54.81→34.25). The low lubricity of fuel causes vehicle problem such as pump and injector damage owing to severe friction. In addition, the low cetane diesel fuel increases exhaust gases such as NOx and particulate matters (PM) owing to incomplete combustion. This study can be used to identify the problems caused by water contamination to vehicle and fuel facilities.

To investigate low frequency acoustic transmissions in the Sub-Polar Front(SPF) of the East Sea, numerical experiments are conducted with Range dependent Acoustic Model(RAM) using Circulation Research of the East Asian Marginal Seas(CREAMS) data and Autonomous Profiling Explorer(APEX)) data. Significant seasonal variations of sea water properties are existed across the Sub-Polar Front(SPF) region from the north and the south. The model results show that Transmission Loss(TL) decrease(about 20dB) with ideal front in the warm region whereas TL increase(about 25dB) with ideal front in the cold region. Regardless of season(both in summer and winter), when the sound source is located in the cold region of the SPF, the model results show weak TL, compared to the case of the source in the warm region(Maximum difference of TL reaches 28dB). This difference between the cases when the source is located in the cold region and the warm region, is accounted for from the different vertical profiles of sound speed in both regions.

In a hot water extraction process, the flow pattern of upper region in a storage tank is a major reason of mixing between hot water and cold water. In this study, the temperature distribution in a storage tank was measured to predict the flow pattern of upper region, and the degree of stratification was analysed to the variables dominating a extraction process. And also, it was found that the degree of stratification improved expecially in a low flow rate in case of using modified distributor I(DMI) as a outlet port type.

본 연구에서는 한국 남동해역에 발생하는 냉수대의 공간적인 분포를 구분하기 위해 2016 ~ 2018년의 고리, 양포의 해양 관측 부이 수온자료와 GHTSST Level 4 재분석 해수면 온도자료를 K-means clustering 기법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 부이자료는 남동해역에서 고리와 양포 지점의 수온변화 및 냉수대 발생을 파악하기 위해 활용하였다. 그 결과 냉수대 발생 시점에 고리와 양포의 수온이 동일하게 감소하였다. 이에 냉수대 발생시 SST의 변화를 보기 위해 수온의 역수와 SST의 분산을 비교하였다. 수온이 변화하는 시점에 SST의 분산도 증가하는 것을 나타내었는데 이를 통해 냉수대 발생시 해역의 SST의 수온분포에 변화가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 냉수대 발생해역을 분류하기 위해 K-means clustering을 활용하였다. Elbow 기법을 활용하여 분류를 위한 최적의 K값을 찾아낸 후 분류를 진행한 결과 연안의 차가운 해수가 존재하는 지역을 찾아낼 수 있었다. 이를 통해 냉수대 발생해역의 공간적인 분포 및 확산범위를 추정하여 향후 냉수대로 인한 피해 파악 및 공간적인 확산 예측연구에 활용할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

In order to understand the water masses and their distribution in the eastern Yellow Sea from winter to spring, a cluster analysis was applied to the temperature and salinity data of Korea Oceanographic Data Center from 1970 to 1990. From December to April, Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW) dominates the eastern Yellow Sea, whereas Eastern Yellow Sea Mixed Water (MW) and Yellow Sea Warm Water (YSWW) are found in the southern part of the eastern Yellow Sea. MW appears at the frontal region around $34^{\circ}N$ between YSCW in the north and YSWW in the south. On the other hand, Tshushima Warm Water (TWW) is found around Jeju Island and the South Sea of Korea. These water masses are relatively well-mixed throughout the water column due to the winter monsoon. However, the water column begins to be stratified in spring due to increased solar heating, the diminishing winds and fresh water discharge, and the water masses in June may be separated into surface, intermediate and bottom layers of the water column. YSWW advances northwestward from December to February and retreats southeastward from February to April. This suggests a periodic movement of water masses in the southern part of the eastern Yellow Sea from winter to spring. YSWW may continue to move eastward with the prevailing eastward current to the South Sea from April to June. Also, the front relaxes in June, but the mixed water advances to the north, increasing salinity. The salinity is also higher in the nearshore region than offshore. This indicates an influx of oceanic water to the north in the nearshore region of the eastern Yellow Sea in spring in the form of mixed water.

The major studies of an ocean circulation of the East/Japan Sea related to evaluate the feasibility and utilization of deep ocean water are reviewed. The major feature of surface current system of the East/Japan Sea is an inflow of the Tsushima Warm Current through the Korea/Tsushima Strait and the outflow through the Tsugaru and Soya Straits. The Tsushima Warm Current has been known to split into two or three branches in the southern region of the East/Japan Sea. In the cold water region of the East/Japan Sea, the North Korean Cold Current turns to the east near 39$^{\circ}$N after meeting the East Korean Warm Current, then flows eastward. The degree of penetration depends on the strength of the positive wind stress curl, according to the ventilation theory. Various current meter moorings indicate strong and oscillatory deep currents in various parts of the basin. According to some numerical experiments, these currents may be induced by pressure-topography or eddy-topography interaction. However, more investigations are needed to explain clearly the presence of these strong bottom currents. This study concludes the importance of topographical coupling, isopycnal outcropping, different wind forcing and the branching of the Tsushima Warm Current on the circulation of the East/Japan Sea.

Year-to-year variation of bottom cold waters around the Korea Strait was investigated based on bottom temperatures measured by submarine telephone cable between Pusan, Korea and Hamada, Japan from 1982 to 1992. The characteristics of bottom temperatures could be divided into three different groups: the Korean side, the middle, and the Japanese side. Temperature drops in summer appeared in all the three regions implying the intrusion of cold waters into the Korea Strait. Significant decreases in the Korean side were observed in 1983, 1986, 1990, 1991, and 1992 when bottom temperatures were high in the middle. In contrast, bottom temperatures significantly decreased in the middle in 1985, 1988, and 1989 when the temperature drops in the Korean side were relatively small. This tendency for a negative relationship was also shown in the second mode of an EOF analysis. In the years when bottom temperatures significantly decrease din the Korean side, the cold water along the east coast of Korea expanded offshore and its temperature was low. On the contrary, cold water in the southern region of the Ulleung Basin developed in the years when bottom temperatures decreased considerably in the middle.

여름철 한국 동해 중부 극전선과 주변해역에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조와 분포를 밝히기 위하여 1990년 여름철에 수온, 염분, 영양염과 기초생산력 및 식물플랑크톤의 현존량에 대해서 조사하였다. 총 96종의 식물플랑크톤이 동정되었으며 그중 Rhizosolenia setigera와 Thalassionema nitzschioides 2종이 우점종으로 나타났다. 조사해역의 북부연안수역에서는 표충과 chlorophyll a가 최대로 나타난 50m충의 군집이 아주 다르고 남부와 외해역에서는 유사했다. 주요인분석의 결과 북부연안 표층수역을 대표하는 식물플랑크톤 군집은 연안난수성 와편모조류였고 북한한류수역은 냉수성 규조류로 그리고 남부와 외해수역은 난수성 규조류였다. 또한 전선구역에서는 냉$\cdot$ 온수성 규조류가 혼합하여 나타났고 기초생산력과 식물플랑크톤의 현존량 역시 전선구역에서 월등히 높았다. 영양염의 농도는 북한한류수역에서 현저히 높았는데 그 이류는 영양염의 공급과 함께 전선면에서의 식물플랑크톤 peak에 크게 기여하는 것으로 사료된다.

1965년부터 1979년까지의 해양관측자료를 사용하여 우리나라 남해에서 일어나는 수온역전현상을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 역전현상은 여름보다 겨울에 6배정도 많이 일어난다. 2) 겨울의 경우, 남해 서부해역에서는 수온역전이 모든 수심에서 골고루 일어나는 반면, 동부해역에서는 주로 표층에서 일어난다. 3) 여름의 경우, 서부해역에서는 역전층이 주로 수온약층 아래에 형성되는 반면, 동부해역에서는 주로 표층에 형성된다. 겨울의 역전현상은 기본적으로는 표면 냉각효과에 의해서 생기는 것으로 생각된다. 다만, 서부와 동부해역에서 역전층이 형성되는 수심에 차이가 있는 것은 쓰시마난류 영향의 정도가 양해역에서 크게 다르기 때문이라고 보여진다. 여름의 경우 서부해역에서는 쓰시마난류와 황해 저층냉수가 수온약층 밑에서 혼합되는 과정에서 생기는 것으로 보이고, 동부해역에서는 보다 수온이 낮은 물이 표층을 따라 유입하기 때문에 일어나는 것으로 생각된다.

A numerical experiment is made in order to clarify the mechanism of the upwelling phenomenon along the coast near the poleward edge of the western boundary current. The possibility of the upwelling is suggested from the analysis of the observational data in the east of Honshu, Japan, and in the south eastern coast of Korean Peninsula. This upwelling phenomenon is very deep and can be traced to the bottom layer. The upwelling phenomenon seems to be a general oceanic feature which characterizes the region along the west coast near the poleward edge of the western boundary current. This experiment is simulating the oceanic condition of the transition region between Kuroshio front and the Oyashio front in the east of Honshu, Japan. The possible explanations of the causes of the upwelling are as follows;In the interior of the modeled ocean the cold heavy water supplied from the north and the warm light water from the south make the north-south gradient of the pressure field and accelerate the eastward current to produce the h-orizontal divergence feld near the west coast. The divergence is compensated by the upwelling near the separation region. Another one is that the upwell-ed cold water strengthen constantly the pressure gradient which is balanced by the northward current and is weakened by the horizontal diffusion.
