This study describes measurements of fast ice recorded on May 23, 2009, in Kongsfjorden (translated as 'Kongs Fjord'), an inlet on the west coast of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago. Seasonal fast ice is an important feature for Svalbard fjords, both in relation to their physical environment and also the local ecosystem, since it grows seaward from the coast and remains in place throughout the winter. Ice thickness, snow, ice properties, and wind speed were measured, while SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data was observed simultaneously observed two times from ALOS-PALSAR (L-band). Measured ice thickness was about 25-35 cm while the thickness of ice floe broken from fast ice was measured as 10-15 cm. Average salinity was 1.9-2.0 ppt during the melting period. Polarimetric data was used to extract H/A/alpha-angle parameters of fast ice, ice floe, snow and glacier, which was classified into 18 classes based on these parameters. It was established that the area of fast ice represents surface scattering which indicates low and medium entropy surface scatters such as Bragg and random surfaces, while fast ice covered with snow belongs to a zone of low entropy surface scattering similar to snow-covered land surfaces. The results of this study will contribute to various interpretations of interrelationships between H/A/alpha parameters and the wave scattering Phenomenon of sea ice.

The paper presents investigations on to which degree the sinking speed of longlines is influenced by type of bait, bait sinking orientations and anchor weights. The main aim of this study is to obtain further insight in the ocean current displacement phenomena in demersal longlining. The sinking speed is one of the main factors deciding the current displacement. In an ongoing project, sinking speed experiments with longlines with 6 kg and 10 kg anchor weights have been carried out in the Trondheim fjord. The longlines used in the first experiments were rigged without bait and hook. The results of these experiments with two different anchor weights have revealed only a slight difference in the sinking speed, except for the part near to the anchors, even though the sinking speed of longlines in general is supposed to be much influenced by the anchor weights. The reason for the obtained result is supposed to be that the experiments have been carried out at relative shallow waters. Further studies have included bait sinking experiments in the flume tank. The experiments showed that the drag coefficient of "fillet type (flat)" bait varied from 0.763 to 1.735, while it for "elliptic type" bait varied from 0.62 to 1.483. Other activities have included calculation of the sinking speed of longlines as a function of the established resistance coefficients of bait of various shape and size for commercial longlining. The calculated sinking speed of a longline with the fillet type bait was found to be 12.4 to 16.5% lower than for a longline without bait.

The paper presents the study on a change in modal parameters and structural stiffness of cable-stayed Fiberline Bridge made entirely of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite used for 20 years in the fjord area of Kolding, Denmark. Due to this specific location the bridge structure was subjected to natural aging in harsh environmental conditions. The flexural properties of the pultruded GFRP profiles acquired from the analyzed footbridge in 1997 and 2012 were determined through three-point bending tests. It was found that the Young's modulus increased by approximately 9%. Moreover, the influence of the temperature on the storage and loss modulus of GFRP material acquired from the Fiberline Bridge was studied by the dynamic mechanical analysis. The good thermal stability in potential real temperatures was found. The natural vibration frequencies and mode shapes of the bridge for its original state were evaluated through the application of the Finite Element (FE) method. The initial FE model was created using the real geometrical and material data obtained from both the design data and flexural test results performed in 1997 for the intact composite GFRP material. Full scale experimental investigations of the free-decay response under human jumping for the experimental state were carried out applying accelerometers. Seven natural frequencies, corresponding mode shapes and damping ratios were identified. The numerical and experimental results were compared. Based on the difference in the fundamental natural frequency it was again confirmed that the structural stiffness of the bridge increased by about 9% after 20 years of service life. Data collected from this study were used to validate the assumed FE model. It can be concluded that the updated FE model accurately reproduces the dynamic behavior of the bridge and can be used as a proper baseline model for the long-term monitoring to evaluate the overall structural response under service loads. The obtained results provided a relevant data for the structural health monitoring of all-GFRP bridge.

아남극권 피오르드의 하게 수층 특성과 부유물질 분산 형태를 이해하기 위해 남극 킹죠지 섬 마리안 소만의 조수빙하 앞에서 1998년 l월 21일에서 22일까지 약 24시간동안 CTDT(Conductivity/Temperature/Depth/Transmissivity) 연속관측을 실시하였다. 관측된 연직 수온, 염분 및 투광도 분포 특성을 보면, 마리안 소만에서 특징적인 세 개의 수층이 보인다. 1) 수심 2 m 이내에 존재하는 저온, 저염의 혼탁한 표층 플름, 2) 수심 15~35 m 사이에 존재하는 고온, 저탁도의 맥스웰 만 표층수, 그리고 3) 저온, 저염, 고탁도의 중층 플름(수심 40~65 m)으로 구분된다. 주변수에 비해 저온, 고탁도의 표층과 중층 플름은 육성기원 쇄절성 입자로 구성되며 부유입자의 기원은 각각 용설수류와 빙하기저부 유출수이다. 기온 상승과 강우량 증가에 따라 발달하는 용설수류는 연안 해변으로부터 소만으로 유입되어 혼탁한 표층 플름을 형성하며 조수빙하 기저에서 나오는 빙하기저부 유출수는 중층 플름을 만든다. 마리안 소만 수층구조의 시간적인 변화는 주로 조석주기 및 풍향 풍속과 밀접한 관련을 보인다. 즉 관측기간 후반부에 맥스웰 만 해수의 유입과 마리안 소만 부유물질의 분산은 조석 순환과 관련을 보이나, 관측 전반부에 표층에서 나타나는 탁도 감소와 염분 증가 그리고 맥스웰 만 유입수 및 중층 플름의 약화는 관측 전날 지속된 바람의 영향이 크다. 관측 전날에 지속된 강한 동풍(평균 풍속 8 m $sec^{-1}$ 이상)이 마리안 소만 표층수를 만 밖(서쪽)으로 내보내고 이로 인해 조수빙하 앞에서 중층수의 용승이 관측 초기의 표층과 중층 플름의 발달을 저해하는 것으로 생각된다. 결과적으로 아남극권 피오르드 환경의 빙하 용설수 및 부유입자를 포함한 혼탁한 플름의 분산은 조석에 의해 조절되는 것이 일반적인 현상이지만, 바람과 같은 외부력이 클 경우 수직적인 수층 교환에 의해 플름의 분산 기작이 달라질 수 있음을 고려해야 한다.
