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.

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.

Surface energy and $CO_2$ fluxes have been measured over an ocean at Ieodo Ocean Research Station of KORDI since May 2003. Eddy covariance technique, which is a direct flux measurement, is used to quantitatively understand the interaction between the ocean surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. Although fluxes were continuously measured during the period from May 2003 to February 2004, the quality control of these data yielded <20% of data retrieval. The atmospheric stability did not show any distinct dirunal patterns and remained near-neutral to stable from May to June but mostly unstable during fall and winter in 2003. Sensible heat flux showed a good correlation with the difference between the sea water temperature and the air temperature. The maximum fluxes of sensible heat and latent heat were $120Wm^{-2}$ and $350Wm^{-2}$ respectively, with an averaged Bowen ratio of 0.2. The ocean around the tower absorbed $CO_2$ from the atmosphere and the uptake rates showed seasonal variations. Based our preliminary results, the daytime $CO_2$ flux was steady with an average of $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ in summer and increased in winter. The nighttime $CO_2$ uptake was greater and fluctuating, reaching up to $-0.1 mgCO_2m^{-2}s^{-1}$ but these data require further examination due to weak turbulent mixing at nighttime. The magnitude of $CO_2$ flux was positively correlated with the half hourly changes in horizontal mean wind speed. Due to the paucity of quality data, further data collection is needed for more detailed analyses and interpretation.

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.

Several validation studies have been made for QuikSCAT(QSCAT) wind data around the world, mainly in the offshore. However, until now, there were no validation studies for QSCAT wind with resolution of 12.5 km ('QSCAT 12.5 km wind') in the vicinity of Korean Peninsula. To validate 'QSCAT 12.5 km wind' and to investigate its characteristics around Korean Peninsula, the wind data from Ieodo Ocean Research Station, KMA buoys, and KORDI Realtime Observation Stations have been compared. Validation results showed that 'QSCAT 12.5 km wind' RMSE of wind direction and speed were $25.85^{\circ}$ and 1.83 m/s, respectively, at Ieodo Station. The mean wind speed correlation coefficient of KMA buoys and KORDI Realtime Observation Station were 0.78 and 0.61, and the mean wind speed RMSE were 2.2 m/s and 3.2 m/s, respectively. This seems to be mainly because of the distance between QSCAT and in-situ observation stations. The RMSE of wind direction were bigger than $40^{\circ}$ at all in-situ observation stations located near the shore, within 20 km from coastlines. Geophysical features where in-situ observation stations are located seem to affect wind validation scores.

이어도 종합해양과학기지(IORS, Ieodo Ocean Research Station) 주변 해역은 시 공간적으로 해양 환경 변화가 심하여, 해양-대기교환 과정을 비롯하여 해양 생태계와 기후 변화 연구에 필수적인 해수면온도(SST, Sea surface temperature) 자료의 지속적인 측정이 요구되는 해역이다. 본 연구에서는 이어도 종합해양과학기지에 열적외선 센서를 이용하여 해수면온도 연속 관측이 가능한 시스템을 구축하였다. 자동 대기 보정 및 해양 조건에 따른 방사율 계산이 가능한 해수면온도 추출 알고리즘을 개발하였고, 현장측정 해수면온도 자료와의 비교 및 검증을 통해 정확도를 평가하였다. 2015년 5월 17일부터 26일, 그리고 2016년 7월 15일부터 18일까지 기지에 체류하는 동안 열적외선 관측 시스템으로 측정된 해수면온도와 기지 부착 CT (Conductivity-Temperature) 및 튜브 부착 수온 센서들을 이용하여 현장에서 측정된 해수면온도 시계열을 비교하여 상호상관계수0.72-0.85, 평균제곱근 편차 $0.37-0.90^{\circ}C$의 정확도를 얻었다. 이 시스템은 이어도 종합해양과학기지뿐만 아니라 신안 가거초 및 옹진 소청초 등의 다른 종합해양과학기지에도 쉽게 구축이 가능한 시스템으로써 향후 발사될 인공위성의 해수면온도 산출알고리즘 개발의 테스트사이트나 검보정사이트로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to determine concentrations and compositions of $PM_{2.5}$ and their characteristic variations at Ieodo Ocean Research Station in the East China Sea and to examine the influence of air pollutants transported from Asia continents. $O_3$ and meteorological parameters were measured since June 2003 and $PM_{2.5}$ filter samples were collected from June 2004 to June 2008. In total, 244 samples were analyzed for water soluble ions and carbonaceous compounds. The mean mass concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ and $O_3$ were $21.8{\pm}14.9{\mu}g/m^3$ and $51.6{\pm}16.1$ ppb, respectively. The average concentrations (mass fractions) of sulfate and ammonium were $6.26{\mu}g/m^3$ (28.74%) and $1.59{\mu}g/m^3$ (7.31%), respectively. Nitrate was considered to be lost through evaporation due to long stay at the station. The mean concentrations of EC and OC were $1.01{\mu}g/m^3$ and $2.34{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, from June 2006 to June 2008. The average OC/EC ratio was 2.31. The organic matter converted from OC by multiplying 2.1 and elemental carbon constituted 22.60% and 4.66% of $PM_{2.5}$ mass, respectively.

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.
