The Ieodo Ocean Research Station(IORS) is an integrated meteorological and oceanographic observation base which was constructed on the Ieodo underwater rock located at a distance of about 150 km to the south-west of the Mara-do, the southernmost island in Korea. The underwater ambient noise level observed at the IORS was similar to the results of the shallow water surrounding the Korean Peninsula (Choi et al. 2003) and was higher than that of deep ocean (Wenz 1962). The wind dependence of ambient noise was dominant at frequencies of a few kHz. The surface current dependence of ambient noise showed good correlation with the ambient noise in the frequency of 10 kHz. Especially, the shrimp sound was estimated through investigations of waveform and spectrum and its main acoustic energy was about 40 dB larger than ambient noise level at 5 kHz.

This paper deals with the retrieval of integrated water vapor (IWV) from the zenith tropospheric delay estimated by precisely processing GPS observations at IEODO ocean research station in the East China Sea. A comparison of GPS-IWV with the radiosonde profiling from June and November in 2014 was made to confirm the method and the procedure, adopted for the IWV determination. A series of analysis of these IWV values was performed to capture characteristics of their seasonal and diurnal variations. Furthermore, the troposphere around the ocean research station during typhoon events was spatiotemporally analyzed by including thirteen GPS sites over the Korean Peninsula, indicating correlation between the typhoon location and the tropospheric density.

해양환경과 기상연구 거점으로서의 중요성에도 불구하고, 수중에 잠긴 화산섬, 이어도의 퇴적물과 해양지질학적 연구는 부족하다. 이 연구의 목적은 이어도 해저에 분포하는 퇴적물의 종류와 분포양상, 그리고 그 퇴적물의 기원지를 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 이어도와 그 주변에서 박스코어러를 사용하여 25점의 표층퇴적물을 획득하였으며, 퇴적물 입도분석과 XRD 점토광물 분석을 수행하였다. 이어도의 정봉은 북부에 존재하며, 남부는 파식대지가 나타난다. 따라서 화산체의 남부는 파랑에 의한 침식작용으로 사라지고, 북부에 일부만 살아남은 것으로 해석된다. 입도분석결과, 패각과 산호편을 포함하는 자갈과 모래 퇴적물은 이어도 화산체와 파식대지에 주로 분포하며, 니질 퇴적물은 이어도 주변해역의 깊은 곳에 나타난다. 점토광물은 일라이트가 대부분을 차지하며, 녹니석과 카올리나이트 순으로 풍부하다. 삼각도표에 도시한 결과, 세립질 퇴적물은 모두 양쯔강(장강) 기원 영역에 도시되었다. 결과적으로 조립질의 자갈과 모래 퇴적물은 이어도 화산체의 풍화침식의 산물과 서식 생물의 골격, 껍질로서 운반과 퇴적과정에서 파랑이 주요한 역할을 한 것으로 해석되며, 반면에 세립질 퇴적물은 여름철 장강으로부터 이어도 해역으로 유입된 것으로 보인다. 이와 같이, 이어도의 퇴적작용은 여름철 장강 유입수와 태풍의 영향이 큰 것으로 해석된다.

This study investigates the characteristics of turbulent fluxes observed at Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) in autumn 2014. The 10 Hz IORS data is quality controlled and calculated to be the 30 minutes turbulent fluxes. The quality control consists of five steps: a weather check, Vickers and Mahrt (VM) sequential check, VM parallel check, flag check, and direction check. Since the IORS is an open-sea station with no orographic influence, there are no significant diurnal variations for the turbulent fluxes and 10 m wind speed. According to stabilities, the unstable and semi-unstable states appear more than 28% and 70% in autumn, respectively and they have strong winds of over $10m\;s^{-1}$. In addition, the turbulent fluxes increase with increasing wind speed. In particular, the latent heat flux and its deviations are clearly shown because the latent heat flux is influenced by the change of both the sea surface roughness and wave height induced by the wind. To demonstrate the changes of the turbulent fluxes before and after typhoon, Vongpong (1419), which is the most intense typhoon affecting the Korean Peninsula in 2014, is considered. The turbulent flux fluctuates in accordance with the location of Vongpong. The turbulent fluxes have a large (small) variation when Vongpong approaches (retreats) at the IORS. The overall results represent that the IORS data helps us understand physical processes related to air-sea interaction by providing the valuable and reliable observed data.

We examined diurnal and seasonal variations of ozone ($O_3$) concentrations and its relation to meteorological parameters observed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station ($32.07^{\circ}N$, $125.10^{\circ}E$, 36 m above sea level) during June 2003 and May 2005. Over the 2-year period, the mean ozone concentration was $49.5{\pm}15.5\;ppbv$. Ozone concentrations show great variability with a monthly mean up to 68.2 ppbv in May 2005 and seasonal variations with being highest in spring and fall, and lowest in summer. However, the amplitude of diurnal variation was less than ${\sim}4\;ppbv$ with a maximum at $3{\sim}4\;p.m.$ and minimum at $7{\sim}8\;a.m.$ HYSPLIT backward air trajectory indicated that the air masses with higher ozone came from the north or northwest and those with lower ozone arrived mainly via southerly or southeasterly. Ozone distributions at Ieodo Ocean Research Station were observed to be significantly impacted by long-range transport and regional scale air circulation.

Determining 'photosynthetically active radiation' (PAR) is a key part of calculating phytoplankton productivity in a biogeochemical model. We explore the daily and seasonal variability in the ratio of PAR irradiance to total irradiance that occurred at Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) in the East China Sea under clear-sky conditions in 2004 using a simple radiative transfer model (RTM). Meteorological data observed at IORS and aerosol optical properties derived from Aerosol Robotic Network observations at Gosan are used for the RTM. Preliminary results suggest that the use of simple PAR irradiance-ratio values is appropriate in calculating phytoplankton productivity as follows: an average of $0.44\;({\pm}0.01)$ in January to an average of $0.48\;({\pm}0.01)$ in July, with average daily variabilities over these periods of about $0.016\;({\pm}0.008)$ and $0.025\;({\pm}0.008)$, respectively. The model experiments demonstrate that variations in the major controlling input parameters (i.e. solar zenith angle, precipitable water vapor and aerosol optical thickness) cause PAR irradiance ratio variation at daily and seasonal timescales. Further, increases (>0.012) in the PAR irradiance ratio just below the sea-surface are positively correlated with high solar zenith angles and strong wind stresses relative to those just above the sea-surface.

큰 너울은 먼 해역에서 발생한 후 우리나라 해안에 전파하여 피해를 입히는 경우가 많다. 이를 방지하기 위해서는 우리나라 인근 해역에서 뿐만 아니라 외해역에서도 파랑 관측이 이루어져야 하지만 현장 관측의 경우 많은 비용 및 장비 망실 위험 때문에 어려움이 따른다. 위성의 고도계를 활용할 경우 우리나라 동해 중앙 해역이나 외해 그리고 타 국가의 해역과 같이 접근이 어려운 해양에서 파랑을 관측하는 일이 가능하다. 그러나 이에 앞서서 고도계 파랑 자료의 정확도를 검증하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 ENVISAT 위성의 고도계 파고 자료와 이어도 기지에서 관측한 파랑 자료를 비교 분석 한 후 그 활용성을 검토한다.

The impact of sound speed variability in the sea is the very important on acoustic propagation for the underwater acoustic systems. Understanding of the temporal and spatial variability of ocean sound speed in the sea around the Ieodo were obtained using oceanographic data (temperature, salinity). from the Korea Oceanographic Data Center, collected by season for 17 years. The vertical distributions of sound speed are mainly related to seasonal variations and various current such as Chinese coastal water, Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW), Kuroshio source water. The standard deviations show that great variations of sound speed exist in the upper layer and observation station between 16 and 18. In order to quantitatively explain the reason for sound speed variations, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis was performed on sound speed data at the Line 316 covering 68 cruises between 2002 and 2018. Three main modes of EOFs respectively revealed 55, 29, and 5% the total variance of sound speed. The first mode of the EOFs was associated with influence of surface heating. The second EOFs pattern shows that contributions of YSCW and surface heating. The first and second modes had seasonal and inter-annul variations.

이어도 해양과학기지가 주변의 바람장에 미치는 영향을 풍동실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 이어도 해양과 학기지에서 관측한 바람자료는 구조물로 인하여 풍속과 풍향의 왜곡이 발생하므로 정확한 풍속과 풍향을 알기 위해서는 관측자료에 구조물의 영향을 보정하여야 한다. 풍속비는 접근풍속의 크기보다는 풍속의 방향과 풍속 관측위치에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 과학기지 옥상에 설치된 주 관측탑에서의 풍속은 모든 방향에서 접근풍속보다 크며 풍향 왜곡도는 6$^{\circ}$이내로 나타났다.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) lies between the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries of Korea, Japan, and China. The geographical positioning of the IORS makes it ideal for monitoring ships in the area. In this study, we introduce ship monitoring results by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Broadband 3G^TM radar, which has been developed for use in small ships using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique. AIS and FMCW radar data were collected at IORS from November 23th to 30th, 2013. The acquired FMCW radar data was converted to 2-D binary image format over pre-processing, including the internal and external noise filtering. The ship positions detected by FMCW radar images were passed into a tracking algorithm. We then compared the detection and tracking results from FMCW radar with AIS information and found that they were relatively well matched. Tracking performance is especially good when ships are across from each other. The results also show good monitoring capability for small fishing ships, even those not equipped with AIS or with a dysfunctional AIS.
