To assess short-term variation of summer phytoplankton community structure in different water masses, phytoplankton and environmental factors were monitored from 31 stations on and off the southern coasts of Korea, from June 18 to June 20 2009. According to multidimensional scaling (MDS) and cluster analysis based on phytoplankton community data from each station, the southern sea was divided into two groups. The first group included stations in the south-eastern region of Jeju Island, which is strongly influenced by the Kuroshio warm current. The second group located along the coastal region of the southern sea, which was mainly comprised of Bacillariophyceae and Crytophyceae. Of these stations, St. 13 and 28 formed a temperature front caused by different hydrological conditions. In particular, nutrients and Chl.a concentrations in these two stations were significantly higher compared to those in the other stations. This indicates that phytoplankton population and subsequent microalgal growth under high nutrient concentrations vary in different water masses. Our results support the theory that phytoplankton community structure in the southern sea of Korea can be influenced on a short-term scale by different water masses and currents.

The structure of the ovary, ultrastructure of oocytes and morphological characteristics of vitellogenesis during oogenesis in female Gomphina veneriformis were investigated in clams collected from coastal waters of Samchok, Gangwon-do, Kore. In the previtellogenic oocytes, the Golgi complex was involved in the formation of a number of vacuoles. In the early vitellogenic oocytes, lipid droplets appeared among the Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the oocyte were involved in the formation of lipid droplets. Coated vesicles, resulting from endocytosis appeared at the basal region of the early vitellogenic oocyte. The uptake of nutritive materials in the coated vesicles formed by receptor-mediated endocytosis appeared through the formation of coated endocytotic pits on the oolemma. In the late vitellogenic oocytes, large yolk granules were formed by a combination of small yolk granules. In the mature oocyte, a mature yolk granule in composed of three components: crystaline core, electron lucent cortex, and a limiting membrane. According to cytological and histological observations, vitellogenesis occurred by way of endogenous autosynthesis and exogenous heterosynthesis. Autosynthesis involved the conbined activities of the Golgi complex, mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, whereas heterosynthesis involved endocytotic incorporation of extraovarian precursors at the basal region of the early vitellogenic oocyte. The follicle cells which was attached to oocytes, were involved in the development of the previtellogenic and early vitellogenic oocytes as a kind of nutritive cells containing a number of glycogen particles and lipid droplets in the cytoplasm.

2009년 5월부터 8월까지 한국 남해안의 여수~통영 연안역에서 멸치 난자치어 분포특성에 대해 조사하였다. 멸치 난의 밀도는 6월에 가장 높았고, 자치어는 7월에 높게 나타났으며 주 분포해역은 나로도, 남해도 및 사량도 주변해역에서 수온 $19.0{\sim}24.0^{\circ}C$, 염분 33.0~34.4 psu, 용존 산소 6.05~8.13 mg/L, 클로로필 a $1.2{\sim}2.3{\mu}g/L$ 범위에 분포밀도가 높게 나타났다. 수온은 외해역보다 연안역에서 고수온을 나타냈고, 염분은 연안역에서 낮고 외해역에서 높게 나타났으며 연안수의 유입은 조사해역 북쪽의 여자만, 가막만, 광양만 등지에서 유입되고, 외해수의 연안유입은 나로도 및 매물도 남쪽 외해측에서 유입되는 것으로 조사되었다. 여름철 국지적 강우에 따른 다량의 섬진강 하천수 유입은 주변해역의 염분을 감소시키면서 남쪽해역으로 확장되어 산란 및 부화된 난자치어들을 외해역 내지 다른 해역으로 이송시키는 요인으로 판단된다. 발생 초기 난들은 (I~IV) 나로도, 돌산도 및 남해도 주변 해역에 주로 분포한 반면, 발생 후기 난은 (V~IX) 욕지도 및 매물도 주변해역에서 고밀도로 분포하였고, 부화직전 후기 단계의 난과 자치어 대형개체들은 조사해역 동쪽방향으로 갈수록 출현율이 높게 나타났다.

Since 1980's there have been two trends that obviously developed in the would -- economics globalization and urban internationalization. China, with is reform and opening-up policy and rapid economic growth, keeps pace with these two trends. The term "International City" has no putative standard or definition. If we make an analogue of urban functional hierarchy in the world with a pyramid, the International Citiesa are the few elites on its top. The highest level international cities can be called "World City" or "Global City". In today's new international division of labor, they are diversified leading cities with control capacity on a world scale, like New York, London, and Tokyo. The secondary international cities are either diversified cities with influence and regulative functions on multinational scale or specialized cities on politics, economics, culture, or other aspects with worldwide impact. Judged by different criteria, there is no city that is qualified as International City with the exception of Hong Kong, which was returned to the P.R. of China in 1997. Nevertheless, Some favorable conditions for the development of the international city still exist in China. This country is already the sixth largest economic entity in the world, and the second largest economic entity in the world, and the second largest one if GNP estimated by ppp. Furthermore its import and export value make up for 40% of its GNP, indicating that China is repidly merging into global economy. In this 1, 2 billion-population country, the difference of economic levels between urban and rural, coastal and inland regions is so big that a few metropolises in the coastal region have the possibilities and potentials to develop into international cities regardless of rather low GNP per capita of the whole country. This article will focus on analysis from several perspectives, such as the proportion of foreign trade values in GDP, the proportion of imports and exports by foreign funded enterprises in total foreign trade value; distribution of the 500 largest foreign-funded enterprises; distribution of the 500 enterprises with largest import and export values; distrigbution of foreign computer and telecom companies with offices in China; the number of outward flights per week and the international tourists; the value of foreign capital used in cities and so on. From this analysis, it is predicted that Chinese international cities will surely emergy from the eastern coastal regions and they must be the core cities of metropolitan interlocking regions that have been formed or in the process of forming. Those international cities will arise from south to north in turn : Hong Kong-Guangzhu, Shanghai, Beijing-Tianjin, and perhaps the last one is Dalian-Shenyang. The other side of this issue is that there is a long way for the coming international cities in China except Hong Kong. At least China and these core cities must continually devote to (1) improve the regional composition of foreign capital sources. (2) improve the composition of export commodities. (3) improve the investment environment (including hard and soft environment) to attract more transnational corporations to settle. (4) deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises and establish Chinese own transnational corporations to enter the world market.ons to enter the world market.

Exposure of high concentration of ground-level ozone (GLO) can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, asthma, bronchitis and congestion. There are substantial human and animal toxicological data that support health effects associated with exposure to ozone and associations have been observed with a wide range of outcomes in epidemiological studies. The aim of the present study is to estimate the spatial distributions of GLO using geostatistical method (ordinary kriging) for assessing the exposure level of ozone in the eastern part of Texas, U.S.A. GLO data were obtained from 63 U.S. EPA's monitoring stations distributed in the region of study during the period January, 2012 to December, 2012. The descriptive statistics indicate that the spatial monthly mean of daily maximum 8 hour ozone concentrations ranged from 30.33 ppb (in January) to 48.05 (in June). The monthly mean of daily maximum 8 hour ozone concentrations was relatively low during the winter months (December, January, and February) and the higher values observed during the summer months (April, May, and June). The higher level of spatial variations observed in the months of July (Standard Deviation: 10.33) and August (Standard Deviation: 10.02). This indicates the existence of regional variations in climatic conditions in the study area. The range of the semivariogram models varied from 0.372 (in November) to 15.59 (in April). The value of the range represents the spatial patterns of ozone concentrations. Kriging maps revealed that the spatial patterns of ozone concentration were not uniform in each month. This may be due to uneven fluctuation in the local climatic conditions from one region to another. Thus, the formation and dispersion processes of ozone also change unevenly from one region to another. The ozone maps clearly indicate that the concentration values found maximum in the north-east region of the study area in most of the months. Part of the coastal area also showed maximum concentrations during the months of October, November, December, and January.

동지나해에 있어서 전갱이$\cdot$고등어 어장의 분포가 해황과 어떻게 관련되어 있는가를 구명한다는 것은, 이들의 어황변동기구를 파악하는 데에 아주 중요한 문제라고 생각된다. 그렇지만, 이제까지 동지나해에 있어서는 이들에 관하여 특정한 해역 혹은 기간을 대상으로 단편적인 연구는 있었으나, 해황이 어장분포에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지에 대한 그 실태는 거의 알려져 있지 않았다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 우선 동지나해 및 일본해 서구에 있어서 대중형 선강무업에 의한 전갱이$\cdot$고등어류의 어획통계자료를 가지고 이들 어획양의 평균적인 분포(1968-1976) 실태를 상세히 검토하였다. 그 결과로서 다음과 같은 것이 명확하였다. 1. 1958율 이후의 '고등어류(주로 참고등어)'의 중요어장은 지나해 총면적의 약 $8\%$에 지나지 않는 일본해 (동해)의 사카이(경) 연안, 대마도 동쪽, 시라세(백광), 체주도 남서해에 이르는 대마난류역에 집중하여 있는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이들 해역의 어획양은 동지나해에 있어서 총어획양의 약 $70\%$를 차지하고 있다. 또한, 1968율 이후의 '전갱이'의 중요어장은 시라세, 대마도 동쪽, 오도 남서해에 집중하여있었으며, 이들 어장의 어획양은 동지나해의 총어획양의 $54\%$를 차지하고 있다. 한편, 어획중이 매우 적은 해역은 총해, 중국연안, 시마네(도근)현연안, 동지나해 중부 중의 냉수역 및 흑조외측, 동해의200m 이심의 해역이었다. 2. 대마난류역의 각 어장에서는 '전갱이$\cdot$고등어류'의 어획양의 년변동이 비교적 작고 어황이 안정되어 있었으나, 동지나해 중부 및 서부, 구개 남서안, 총해역의 어장에서는 어획전의 변동이 컸다. 3. 조경주변에 있어서 '전갱이$\cdot$고등어'의 분포경형의 상위가 수온의 상달와 잘 대응하고 있는 것이 분명하게 되었다. 즉, '전갱이'는 주로 대마난류의 조경역의 진수용(수온 $15^{\circ}C{\sim}20^{\circ}C$)에 분포하고 있었으며, '고등어류'의 분포 중심은 약간 냉수측(수온 $13^{\circ}C{\sim}16^{\circ}C$)에 위치하고 있었다. 금후는 동지나해 및 일본해 서부에 있어서 선망어업에 의한 전갱이$\cdot$고등어유의 어획양 분포에 대한 계절적 경년적인 변동, 특히 환경조건과의 관련을 파악할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

With the increasing demand for improved marine environments and safety, greater ability to minimize damages to coastal areas from harmful organisms, ship accidents, oil spills, etc. is required. In this regard, an accurate assessment and understanding of current systems is a crucial step to improve forecasting ability. In this study, we examine spatial and temporal characteristics of current systems in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island using a high-resolution regional ocean circulation model. Our model successfully captures the features of tides and tidal currents observed around Jeju Island. The tide form number calculated from the model result ranges between 0.3 and 0.45 in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island, indicating that the dominant type of tides is a combination of diurnal and semidiurnal, but predominantly semidiurnal. The spatial pattern of tidal current ellipses show that the tidal currents oscillate in a northwest-southeast direction and the rotating direction is clockwise in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island and counterclockwise in the Jeju Strait. Compared to the mean kinetic energy, the contribution of tidal current energy prevails the most parts of the region, but largely decreases in the eastern seas of Jeju Island where the Tsushima Warm Current is dominant. In addition, a Lagrangian particle-tracking experiment conducted suggests that particle trajectories in tidal currents flowing along the coast may differ substantially from the mean current direction. Thus, improving our understanding of tidal currents is essential to forecast the transport of marine pollution and harmful organisms in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island.

Future climate changes over East Asia are projected by anthropogenic forcing of greenhouse gases and aerosols using ECHO-G/S (ECHAM4/HOPE-G). Climate simulation in the 21st century is conducted with three standard SRES scenarios (A1B, B1, and A2) and the model performance is assessed by the 20th Century (20C3M) experiment. From the present climate simulation (20C3M), the model reproduced reliable climate state in the most fields, however, cold bias in temperature and dry bias of summer in precipitation occurred. The intercomparison among models using Taylor diagram indicates that ECHO-G/S exhibits smaller mean bias and higher pattern correlation than other nine AOGCMs. Based on SRES scenarios, East Asia will experience warmer and wetter climate in the coming 21st century. Changes of geographical patterns from the present to the future are considerably similar through all the scenarios except for the magnitude difference. The temperature in winter and precipitation in summer show remarkable increase. In spite of the large uncertainty in simulating precipitation by regional scale, we found that the summer (winter) precipitation at eastern coast (north of $40^{\circ}N$) of East Asia has significantly increased. In the 21st century, the warming over the continents of East Asia showed much more increase than that over the ocean. Hence, more enhanced (weakened) land-sea thermal contrast over East Asia in summer (winter) will cause strong (weak) monsoon. In summer, the low pressure located in East Asia becomes deeper and the moisture from the south or southeast is transported more into the land. These result in increasing precipitation amount over East Asia, especially at the coastal region. In winter, the increase (decrease) of precipitation is accompanied by strengthening (weakening) of baroclinicity over the land (sea) of East Asia.
