The definition of onset date of Changma is revisited in this study using a quality controlled Ieodo ocean research station data. The Ieodo station has great importance in terms of its southwest location from Korean Peninsula and, hence, makes it possible to predict Changma period in advance with less impact of continents. The onset date of Changma using the Ieodo station data is defined by the time that meridional wind direction changes and maintains from northerly to southerly, and then the zonal wind changes from easterly to westerly after first June. This definition comes from a recognition that the establishment and movement of the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) cause Changma through southwesterly flow. The onset data of Changma has been determined by large-scale dynamic-thermodynamic characteristics or various meteorological station data. However, even the definition based on circulation data at the Ieodo station has a potential for the improved prediction skill of the onset date of Changma. The differences between before and after Changma, defined as Ieodo station data, are also found in synoptic chart. The convective instability and conspicuous circulations, corresponding low-level southwesterly flow related to WNPSH and strong upper-level zonal wind, are represented during Changma.

Phytoplankton community structure and distribution pattern in the surface water around the Ieodo Ocean Research Station were investigated during seven cruises carried out from July, 2003 to October, 2004. Samples were analyzed using various tools including a microscope, flow cytometer, and HPLC. Satellite images were used to analyze spatio-temporal phytoplankton biomass distribution. SeaWiFS chlorophyll a (chl a) images showed that spring blooms occurred in April-May near the Ieodo Station, and these waters were under the influence of Changjiang Dilute Water during July-October. Also, during the July-October period, HPLC pigments data showed increasing zeaxanthin concentrations, a marker pigment of cyanobacteria whereas increasing concentrations of various other pigments such as fucoxanthin, peridinin, prasinoxanthia alloxanthin, 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin and chlorophyll b were noted during spring blooms. Such pigment marker data were consistent with picoplankton data analyzed by flow cytometer and nano-microplankton analyzed by microscope. The pigment-CHEMTAX method was used to drive the phytoplankton group apportioned chi a. Diatoms, chlorophytes, dinoflagellates, and cryptophytes comprised 25.8, 20.7, 15.9, and 14.1%, respectively, of the total chl a in May. Average cyanobacteria concentrations in July-October contributed 25.4% of the total concentration. This was the highest percent contribution and was followed by chlorophytes, diatoms, and prymnesiophytes. This study discusses results from various methods, similarities and differences in the results among those methods, and the application range of the results from different analytical methods. Also, the study reveals a detailed phytolpankton community structure in the waters around the Ieodo Station, and suggests future monitoring considerations in relation to cell morphology, ecology and diversity factors according to taxonomic groups.

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.

The Korean Government is trying to construct an ocean research station in Dokdo's water. The station would be the third ocean research station following the Ieodo station and the Gageocho station. Although the new station would served as a scientific research base for peaceful and academic purposes, the construction of the station will almost certainly lead to a diplomatic dispute between Japan and Korea in the near future due to the disputed ownership of the island. In light of the diplomatic protests against the construction of the Ieodo station by the Chinese Government, various domestic and international legal issues which could be raised regarding the construction of the Dokdo station need to be reviewed. Therefore, this article reviews the international legal status of the station and the rights and duties pertaining to its construction, investigates the domestic legal grounds relating to the construction and operation of the marine scientific installation, evaluates the international legal impacts of the construction on the expansion of maritime jurisdiction, the effective control on Dokdo and the negotiations on maritime boundary delimitation, and finally draws conclusions on the future activities of the Korean Government for the construction and operation of the Dokdo Ocean Research Station.

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.

이어도 종합해양과학기지에 설치된 해양환경모니터링시스템을 이용하여 얻은 수온과 염분 자료를 이용하여 이어도 기지주변의 해수 특성과 양자강에서 유출되는 저염분수의 특징, 태풍에 의한 해수 성질 변화를 파악하였다. 수온은 정확도가 매우 높은 반면, 염분자료의 정확도와 안정도는 비교적 낮았다. 여름철 표층에서 강하게 나타나는 수온과 염분의 일변화는 태양일사량의 변화 이외에도 조석에 의한 수층의 수직운동에 의해서 발생하였다. 계절변화는 수온자료에서만 발견되었다. 염분의 가장 큰 변화 원인은 양자강에서 유입되는 담수로 약 $3{\sim}4$일 사이에 최대 8 psu 정도의 변화를 일으킨다. 2003년 8월과 2004년 8월 제주도 남서부 해역에서 저염분수가 발견되기 약 10일 전에 이어도 기지에서도 저염분수가 관측되었으나, 2005년 7월에는 이어도 기지에서만 저염분수가 관측되었다. 즉, 이어도 기지를 통과한 저염분수가 반드시 제주도 근해까지 확장하지는 않는다. 2003년 9월과 2004년 8월에 강력한 태풍이 이어도 기지 근처를 지나갔는데, 태풍에 의한 영향은 약 $3{\sim}4$일 간 지속되었다.

이어도 종합해양과학기지 및 주변에서 관측된 해수면고도, 해상풍향 및 풍속 자료와 인공 위성으로부터 관측된 자료를 비교하여 상호 신뢰도를 검증하고 보완하였다. 인공위성자료는 Topex/Poseidon 레이더고도계 및 ERS-1/2 고도계 및 산란계 자료를 이용하였고 이어도 기지 건설 당시 기지 부근 선상에서 관측된 자료 및 기지에서 최근 관측된 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 위성자료와 1995년 6월 해상탐사자료를 비교한 결과 대체적으로 잘 일치하며 이는 더 많은 위성 자료를 이용함으로써 보완 가능하다. 한편 거의 실시간으로 제공되는 이어도 기지의 2004년 12월부터 2005년 2월까지 최근 3개월 간 자료를 분석한 결과 자료의 공백 및 비정상 값을 보이는 경우가 많았고 이들을 위성자료와 비교 한 후 통계적으로 상호 보정하였다. 이어도는 육지와 멀리 떨어져 있어 위성해양관측자료를 검증하기에 매우 적합한 반면 이어도 관측 자료를 검증 및 보완하는 가장 효율적인 방법은 위성자료를 이용하는 것이다.

When pile foundation is constructed by dynamic method, it is desirable to perform monitoring of drivability with pile penetration. Dynamic pile monitoring yields information regarding driving hammer, cushion, pile and soil behaviour that can be used to confirm the assumptions of wave equation analysis. In this study, dynamic monitoring of the steel pipe pile was performed with Pile Driving Analyser (PDA). The PDA utilizes the wave propagation theory to compute numerous variables which describe the conditions of the hammer-pile-soil system in real-time and following each hammer impact. This approach allows immediate field verification of hammer performance, driving efficiency, and estimation of pile bearing capacity. A series of PDA test were performed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) located in southeast of Marado, a southernmost small island south of Jeju Island. The drilling core sediments of Ieodo subsoil are composed of mud and sand, showing lamination and wavy or lenticular bedding, which were often bioturbated. This paper summarizes the results of PDA tests which were applied in measurement and estimation of large diameter open ended steel pipe pile driven by steam hammer, Vulcan-560 and MRBS-4600, at the marine sediments.

Three Synechococcus strains were isolated from seawater near the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS), and their 16S rDNA genes and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes were sequenced to investigate their phylogenetic relationships. Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rDNA and ITS sequences showed that they clustered in the main MC-A Synechococcus group (subcluster 5.1), but formed branches differentiating them from the described clades. As the IORS is located in an area affected by diverse water masses, high Synechococcus diversity is expected in the area. Therefore, the IORS might be a good site to study the diversity, physiology, and distribution of the Synechococcus group.
