Seawater samples were collected at discrete depths from five stations across the polar front in the Drake Passage (Antarctic Ocean) by the $20^{th}$ Korea Antarctic Research Program in December, 2006. Nitrate concentrations of seawater increase with depth within the photic zone above the depth of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW). In contrast, ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of seawater nitrate decrease with depth, showing a mirror image to the nitrate variation. Such a distinct vertical variation is mainly attributed to the degree of nitrate assimilation by phytoplankton as well as organic matter degradation of sinking particles within the surface layer. The preferential $^{14}{NO_3}^-$ assimilation by the phytoplankton causes $^{15}{NO_3}^-$ concentration to become high in a closedsystem surface-water environment during the primary production, whereas more $^{14}{NO_3}^-$ is added to the seawater during the degradation of sinking organic particles. The water-mass mixing seems to play an important role in the alteration of ${\delta}^{15}N$ values in the deep layer below the UCDW. Across the polar front, nitrate concentrations of surface seawater decrease and corresponding ${\delta}^{15}N$ values increase northward, which is likely due to the degree of nitrate utilization during the primary production. Based on the Rayleigh model, the calculated ${\varepsilon}$ (isotope effect of nitrate uptake) values between 4.0%o and 5.8%o were validated by the previously reported data, although the preformed ${\delta}^{15}{{NO_3}^-}_{initial}$ value of UCDW is important in the calculation of ${\varepsilon}$ values.

해양심층수는 겨울철 표층수의 냉각으로 인하여 동해 고위도 지역인 극 지역에서 형성된 후 점차로 표층수와 혼합이 차단된 상태로 순환한다. 하구역 혼합만큼 뚜렷하지는 않지만, 지하염수는 순환해수와 지하수의 혼합물기다 높은 삼투압을 가지고 있는 해수는 바다와 연결된 대수층으로 스며들어 지하수와 혼합하게 된다. 해양심층수와 지하염수의 자원특성을 파악하기 위하여 이들 수괴의 기원과 성분 및 각 수자원에 대한 수질 특성과 자원 안정성을 조사하였다. 해수 중 산소와 수소 동위원소 비는 0‰, 인 반면, 지하염수는 지표수의 순환선(meteoric water line) 위에 있거나, 벗어나는 경우도 있다. 이러한 현상은 두 수괴가 다른 기원을 가지고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 해수에 용존 된 주성분 이온(Na, Ca, Mg, K) 들은 각각 일정한 성분비를 이루고 있다. 그러나 지하염수에서 이들 주성분 원소들의 일정성분비의 법칙이 성립하지 않는 것이 관측되었다. 그 이유는 주변 토양과 지하수 사이의 화학적 반응에 기인한다. 또한 해양심층수는 지하염수에 비하여 기능성 미량 원소들이 풍부하고 생물학적 친하력이 높은 반면, 유해한 박테리아와 인공 오염물이 적은 특성을 가지고 있으며, 자원적인 측면에서도 안정성을 가지고 있다.

We determined the composition of water and sediment bacterial assemblages from the East Sea using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Total bacterial reads were greater in surface waters (<100 m) than in deep seawaters (>500 m) and sediments. However, total OTUs, bacterial diversity, and evenness were greater in deep seawaters than in surface waters with those in the sediment comparable to the deep sea waters. Proteobacteria was the most dominant bacterial phylum comprising 67.3% of the total sequence reads followed by Bacteriodetes (15.8%). Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Actinobacteria followed all together consisting of only 8.1% of the total sequence. Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique considered oligotrophic bacteria, and Planctomycetes copiotrophic bacteria showed an opposite distribution in the surface waters, suggesting a potentially direct competition for available resources by these bacteria with different traits. The bacterial community in the warm surface waters were well separated from the other deep cold seawater and sediment samples. The bacteria exclusively associated with deep sea waters was Actinobacteriacea, known to be prevalent in the deep photic zone. The bacterial group Chromatiales and Lutibacter were those exclusively associated with the sediment samples. The overall bacterial community showed similarities in the horizontal rather than vertical direction in the East Sea.

본 연구는 김속식물 3종의 생장과 단포자방출에 미치는 해양심층수의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 해양 심층수와 표층수는 각각 강원도 고성군 근해와 연안의 수심 600 m와 표층에서 채수하였으며, 김속식물은 강원 연곡에서 오카무라돌김($Porphyra$ $okamurae$), 경남 통영과 남해에서 각각 넓은둥근돌김($P.$ $suborbiculata$ f. $latifolia$)과 큰방사무늬김($P.$ $yezoensis$ f. $narawaensis$)을 채집하였고, 이들 재료로부터 단포자를 채묘하여 실험에 사용하였다. 3종 가운데 넓은둥근돌김의 생장이 가장 빨랐으며 이때의 배양조건은 심층수구의 $15^{\circ}C$, 단일조건(10L:14D)으로 나타났다. 김속식물 3종의 생장은 심층수와 혼합구의 단일 및 $10^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 빠르게 나타났다. 배양중인 엽체로부터의 단포자는 배양 3주 이내에 양광주기하의 $10-25^{\circ}C$에서 모두 방출이 이루어졌다. 이상의 결과로부터 김속식물의 생장과 단포자방출은 표층수보다 심층수에서 빠른 것으로 나타났고, 이 결과를 심층수를 이용한 재배종 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 특히 심층수를 방출된 단포자의 배양에 활용할 경우 여름철에도 실내재배가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Ice Rink is energy intensive building type. Concern of energy saving from buildings is one of very important issues nowadays. New and renewable energy sources for buildings are especially important when we concern about energy supply for buildings. Among new and renewable energy sources, use of seawater for heating and cooling is an emerging issue for energy conscious building design. The options of energy use from sea water heat sources are using deep sea water for direct cooling with heat exchange facilities, and using surface layer water with heat pump systems. In this study, energy consumptions for an Ice Rink building are analyzed according to the heat sources of air-conditioning systems; existing system and sea water heat source system, in a coastal city, Kangnung. The location of the city Kangnung is good for using both deep sea water which is constant temperature throughout the year less than $2^{\circ}C$, and surface layer water which should be accompanied with heat pump systems. The result shows that using sea water from 200m and 30m under sea lever can save annual energy consumption about 33% of original system and about 10% of that using seawater from 0m depth. Annual energy consumption is similar between the systems with seawater from 200m and 30m. Although the amount of energy saving in summer of the system with 200m depth is higher than that with 30m depth, the requirement of energy in winter of the system with 200m depth is bigger than that with 30m depth.

해수를 이용한 온도차 발전은 심층수와 표층수의 온도 차이를 이용한 암모니아(냉매)를 사용하여 폐쇄적인 액화와 기화를 반복하여 터빈을 돌리는 방식이다. 온도차 발전의 특성상 온도 차이가 클수록 에너지 발전 특성은 좋아진다. 이는 심층수 표층수의 온도차이가 커야 됨을 이야기 한다. 하지만 겨울이 되면 표층수와 심층수의 온도차이가 크지 않아 에너지 효율이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 그리고 해수 담수화기술은 지구의 97%를 차지하지만 우리가 먹을 수 없는 바닷물을 담수로 바꾸는 기술로, 해수 담수화기술로 생산된 담수는 선박내의 공업, 식수 등 각종 용수로 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 문제가 되고 있는 계절에 따른 표층수의 온도 변화를 개선하기 위해 기존에 사용하고 있는 선박용 디젤엔진의 열에너지와 LNG의 냉열 에너지를 사용한 온도차 발전을 위해 LNG 운송 선박을 기준으로 LNG 운송 선박 하이브리드 엔진에 관한 연구와 냉열 에너지를 활용한 해수 냉동법으로 담수화하는 발전 및 담수화를 복합시킨 연구를 제시하고자 한다.

The cycle performance of closed ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system with 50 kW gross power was evaluated to obtain the basic data for the optimal design of OTEC using waste heat such as solar power, discharged heat from condenser of power plant. The basic thermodynamic model for OTEC is Rankine cycle, and the surface seawater and deep seawater were used for the heat source of evaporator and condenser, respectively. The cycle performance such as efficiency, heat exchanger capacity, etc. was analyzed on the variation of temperature increase by waste heat. The cycle efficiency increased and necessary capacity of evaporator and condenser decreased under 50kW gross power with respect to the temperature increase of working fluid. Also, when the temperature increase is about $13.5^{\circ}C$, the heat which can be used is generated. By generator with 0.9 effectiveness under the simulated condition, the cycle efficiency was improved approximately 3.0% comparing with the basic cycle.

Oceanographic observation and qualitative analysis for deep ocean water in the East Sea were carried out from January 2003 to January 2004, in order to understand the characteristics of deep sea water in the East Sea. Temporal and spatial variation of water masses were discussed from survey of the study area including the coastal sea of Kwangwon province in where the polar front mixing cold and warm water masses were formed. On the basis of the vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen, water masses in the study area were divided into 5 major groups; (1) Low Saline Surface Water (LSSW) (2) Tsushima Surface water (TSW) (3) Tsushima Middle Water (TMW) (4) North Korea Cold Water (NKCW) and (5) East Sea Proper Water (ESPW). In winter, surface water in coastal sea of Kwangwaan Kosung region were dominated by North Korean Cold Water (NKCW). As Tsushima warm current were enforced in summer, various water masses were vertically emerged in study area, in order of TSW, TMW, NKCW and ESPW. It is highly possible that the LSSW which occurred at surface water of september is originated from influx of fresh water due to the seasonal rainy spell. Nevertheless water masses existed within surface water were seasonally varied, water quality characteristics of East Sea Proper Water (ESPW) under 300 m did not changed all the seasons of the year.

The surface sediments from the manganese nodule exploration area of Korea in the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone were investigated to understand the resource potential of and emplacement mechanism for rare earth elements (REEs). The sediments are categorized into three lithological units (Unit I, II and III from top to bottom), but into two groups (Unit I/II and Unit III) based on the distribution pattern of REEs. The distribution pattern of REEs in Unit I/II is similar to that of Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS), but shows a negative Ce anomaly and enrichment in heavy REEs (HREEs). In Unit III, the HREE enrichment and Ce anomaly is much more remarkable than Unit I/II when normalized to PAAS, which are interpreted as resulting from the absorption of REEs from seawater by Fe oxyhydroxides that were transported along the buoyant plume from remotely-located hydrothermal vents. It is supported by the PAAS-normalized REE pattern of Unit III which is similar to those of seawater and East Pacific Rise sediments. Meanwhile, the PAAS-normalized REE pattern of Unit I/II is explained by the 4:1 mixing of terrestrial eolian sediment and Unit III from each, indicating the much smaller contribution of hydrothermal origin material to Unit I/II. The studied sediments have the potentiality of a low-grade and large tonnage REE resource. However, the mining of REE-bearing sediment needs a large size extra collecting, lifting and treatment system to dress and refine low-grade sediments if the sediment is exploited with manganese nodules. It is economically infeasible to develop low-grade REE sediments at this moment in time because the exploitation of REE-bearing sediments with manganese nodules increase the mining cost.

A floating-type wave power pump is a device which sends air into water by using wave power. The floating-type wave power pump has the new configuration composed of a curved surface reflection board, a slope, and phase plates. As a result of a water-tank experiment it turned out that the floating-type wave power pump with a curved surface reflection board and a slope raised power and efficiency in the wide wavelength waves. The result of a marine experiment was also preferable. The floating-type wave power pump sends air into the sea by using wave power, so it can be used for the improvement of marine environment. In addition, the floating body constituted of a curved surface reflection board, a slope, and phase plates, is effective as a device to utilize the energy of a wave. Therefore, it can be widely used for a wave power generation, pumping up deep seawater.
