Tidal power generation plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It uses a tidal force generated by gravitational force between the moon, the earth, and the sun. The change of seawater height generates the tide-generating force, and the magnitude of the change is the tide level. The tide level change has the same period as the tide-generating force twice a day, every 29.5 days, every year, and every 18.6 years. Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station is Korea's first tidal power plant that began commercial power generation in August 2011 and has been accumulating a large volume of data on electricity production, power generation sales, sluice displacement, and tide levels. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the impact of the inefficiency factors affecting production and the tidal level change on tidal power generation and their characteristics using Sihwa Lake Tidal Power's operational performance data. Throughout this paper we show that tidal power generating operation is accurately predicting the trends of magnitude of tidal force to be periodical for each day. determining the drop to initiate the water turbine generator factoring the constraints on the operation of Sihwa Lake, and reflecting the water discharge through the floodgate and water turbine during the standby mode in the power generation plan to be in the optimal condition until the initiation of the next power generation can maximize power generation.

In this work Topex/Poseidon altimeter data 1993 - 2002 were used. There are three altimetry tracks (one ascending and two descending) that cross Tatar Strait. The data were collected in the points of sub-satellite tracks with the step 0.25 degree. 10-years average values were calculated for each month. The seasonal sea level variations were compared with tide gauges data. The well expressed annual cycle (with maximum at July-August and the minimum at February-March) prevails in the Tartar Strait. However, the seasonal variations expressed much weakly in both the altimetry track points and Kholmsk - Nevelsk tide-gauges that locate close to La Perouse Strait because of Okhotsk Sea influence. The sea level slopes between the Sakhalin Island and the continent coasts were analyzed in different seasons. We found that sea level increases near Sakhalin coast in spring and summer that corresponds to the northward flow. In autumn, otherwise, the sea level decreases near Sakhalin Island that corresponds to southward current. This result is verified by the CTD data gathered on the standard sections. Well-expressed upwelling is observed near coastline of Sakhalin Island in fall season. This phenomenon is caused by the northerly and the northwesterly wind which are typical for cold season.

본 연구에서는 한국의 동해, 서해 및 남해안에서 하계 수온의 단기적인 변화에 영향을 주는 환경 요인을 파악하기 위해 국립해양조사원에서 제공하는 2016년 하계 조위관측소의 수온, 기온, 조위 및 바람자료를 이용하여 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였다. Power spectrum 분석 결과, 평균조차가 100 cm 이상인 서해안(인천, 평택, 군산 및 목포)과 남해안(완도, 고흥, 여수, 통영 및 마산)에서는 수온, 조위가 동일한 주기에서 peak가 나타났다. 반면에 서해안과 남해안에 비해 평균조차가 상대적으로 작은 동해안(묵호, 포항 및 울산)과 부산에서는 수온의 주기성이 나타나지 않았다. Coherence 분석에서 서해안과 남해안의 3개 정점(완도, 고흥, 통영)은 수온과 조위의 상관성이 높게 나타났다. 특히 완도와 통영에서 수온과 조위의 상관성은 반일주기에서 0.96으로 높았다. 여수는 조석과 담수의 유입이 수온에 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 한편 마산의 수온은 남풍의 바람 영향이 가장 크지만 조석과 담수의 영향도 받는 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 동해안은 조차가 작고 해류의 영향이 크기 때문에 수온에 대한 조석의 영향이 작은 것으로 사료된다. 환경 요인의 시계열그래프를 비교한 결과, 수온과 조위가 상관성이 높게 나타난 정점은 창조 시 비교적 저수온의 외해수가 유입되고 낙조 시 빠져나가는 것으로 판단된다. 일주기의 수온 변화는 조석의 영향이 크지만 전체적인 수온의 상승과 하강은 기온의 영향이 큰 것으로 보인다.

경기만과 같이 지형이 복잡하고 조차가 큰 해역에서는 활발한 물질순환이 나타난다. 이러한 물질순환에 영향을 주는 장주기 흐름은 다양한 외력에 의하여 형성되며 시공간적으로 독특한 특성이 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 경기만에 위치하는 인천항부터 잠실수중보 사이에서 동기간에 관측된 조위와 유속자료를 분석하여 장주기 조류성분의 주기적인 변화 특성과 발생 기작을 파악하였다. 염하수로와 한강하구에서는 배조나 복합조와 같은 비선형분조의 증가로 인하여 조석파의 변형이 발생하고 이에 따른 평균해면 상승이 나타난다. 경기만으로부터 한강으로 전파하는 조석파는 수로폭과 수심이 크게 감소하는 염하수로로 진입하면서 급격히 변형되어 저조위와 평균해면이 상승하며, 상류로 갈수록 조석변형이 커진다. 이러한 조석변형은 조차가 큰 대조기에 증가하고 조차가 작은 소조기에 감소하며 주기적인 변동을 나타내는데, 이는 장주기 조석성분인 $M_{sf}$ 분조로 해석될 수 있다. 조석변형의 공간적 차이에 의해 발생하는 해면 경사는 대조-소조의 주기와 동일한 주기를 보이며 대조기에 증가한다. 해면 경사의 장주기 변동에 반응하여 조류의 장주기 변화가 나타난다. 이러한 장주기 조류성분은 상류에서 크게 증가하여 한강하류인 전류리 인근에서는 주요 분조인 $S_2$ 분조보다 크게 나타난다.

Korea is surrounded by the West Sea, the South Sea, and the East Sea. There are various points at which large and small rivers flow into the sea, and areas where these rivers meet the coast are vulnerable to disasters. Thus, it is necessary to study disaster prevention techniques based on coastal characteristics and the pattern of disasters. In this study, we analyzed the risk factors of disaster districts analyzed in comprehensive plans for the reduction of damage to coastal cities from storms and floods. As a result of standardization, four factors (tide level, intensive rainfall & typhoon, wave, and tsunami) were identified. Intensive rainfall & typhoon occurred along the West Sea, the South Sea, and the East Sea coast. Factors that should be considered to influence disasters are tide level for the West Sea, tsunami and tide level for the South Sea, and wave in the East Sea. In addition, disaster prevention techniques to address these factors are presented, focusing on domestic and overseas cases.

Seasonal characteristics of water quality and effect of the freshwater discharge during open the tide embankment in Haechang Bay were evaluated. In the freshwater, where interior of the tide embankment, COD and Chl-a exceeded about 4mg/L and $10mg/m^3$, respectively, independent of season, while in the seawater they showed high values in April and July in contrast to the other period due to input of freshwater and increase of phytoplankton, respectively. The content of seawater inorganic nitrogen maintained a relatively high level at inner part of the bay, whereas high values of inorganic phosphorus content was distributed at all over the bay. The limiting factor for algal growth was nitrogen with respect to the N/P ratio. The compass of influence by the freshwater discharge in April was quite different with water pollutants. As a result of the salinity variation with time, the freshwater extended strongly to offshore from the surface layer without mixing with depth when open the tide embankment, and reached within about one hour at a station which is 3.5km from the tide embankment. To effective water quality management of Haechang Bay, discharge rate and pollutant loads should be controlled.

To understand the changes in physical parameters and phytoplankton size structure caused by tides, a fixed station in the Youngsan River estuary was monitored at 2-h intervals, on April 28, 2012 and August 12, 2012. No clear relationship was observed between the temperature and salinity changes and tidal levels in April. However, in August, temperature decreased during the ebb tide and increased during the flood tide, while salinity showed the opposite trend. In addition, there was no specific change in the phytoplankton biomass corresponding to tidal levels in April. In August, the total chlorophyll a and the biomass of net phytoplankton (>$20{\mu}m$) increased almost 20 times during the ebb tide and decreased during the flood tide. The biomass of nanophytoplankton (<$20{\mu}m$) showed a similar variation in response to tidal level changes. In April, the relationship between percent contributions of phytoplankton size structure and tidal levels was not clear. In August, the net phytoplankton was dominant in the early stage and nanophytoplankton was dominant in the later stage, while contribution of nanophytoplankton and net phytoplankton increased at high tide and low tide, respectively. Therefore, in April, other factors such as freshwater discharge were more important than the tide, whereas in August, when no freshwater discharge was recorded, the changes in semidiurnal tides influenced the physical parameters and phytoplankton dynamics. These results could contribute to the understanding of phytoplankton dynamics in the Youngsan River estuary.

The first 7 years of altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) were analyzed to study the surface circulation and its variability in the East Asian Marginal Seas. Long term averaged T/P sea level time series data where compared with in situ sea level measurements from a float-operated type tide gauge around of south Korea and Japan. T/P data are a large contaminated by 60-day tidal aliasing effect, very near the alias periods of M2 and S2. When this 60-day effect is removed, the data agree well with the tide gauge data with 4.6 cm averaged RMS difference. The T/P derived sea level variability reveals clearly the well-known, strong current-topography such as Kuroshio. The T/P mean sea level of North Pacific (NP) was higher than Yellow Sea (YS) and East Sea (ES). The T/P sea level valibility, with strong eddy and meandaring, was the largest in eastern part of Japan and this variability was mainly due to the influence of bottom topography in Kuroshio Extention area.
