남극 반도와 그 주변에서의 온난화는 시간적, 공간적 변동이 크기 때문에 이 지역에서의 국지 기후를 이해하는 것이 필요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 남극 세종 기지 주변에서의 지표 복사, 기온 그리고 풍향의 특징을 밝혀내고, 그 변수들간의 상관 관계를 조사하는 것이다. 연구지는 연간 15-20 Wm-2의 복사 에너지를 흡수하지만, 여름 (12월-1월)에는 평균적으로 85 Wm-2의 복사 에너지를 흡수하였다. 이 흡수량은 남극의 다른 지역에 비해 상당히 큰 값이다. 월 평균 기온은 -7.7-2.8oC 이었으며, 매년 다른 변동을 보였다. 북서, 서 및 동풍이 주풍이었으며, 풍향의 변동이 기온 변동을 설명할 수 있었다. 찬 동풍과 따뜻한 북서 및 북풍 빈도의 변동이 특히 여름철 지표 복사 수지에도 크게 영향을 주었으며, 이 시기의 대기와 지면 간의 에너지 교환에 풍향이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다.

Sensitivity analysis of wind resource micrositing has been performed through the application case at the Antarctic King Sejong station with the most representative micrositing softwares: WAsP, WindSim and Meteodyn WT. The wind data obtained from two met-masts separated 625m were applied as a climatology input condition of micro-scale wind mapping. A tower shading effect on the met-mast installed 20m apart from the warehouse has been assessed by the CFD software Fluent and confirmed a negligible influence on wind speed measurement. Theoretically, micro-scale wind maps generated by the two met-data located within the same wind system and strongly correlated meteor-statistically should be identical if nothing influenced on wind prediction but orography. They, however, show discrepancies due to nonlinear effects induced by surrounding complex terrain. From the comparison of sensitivity analysis, Meteodyn WT employing 1-equation turbulence model showed 68% higher RMSE error of wind speed prediction than that of WindSim using the ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model, while a linear-theoretical model WAsP showed 21% higher error. Consequently, the CFD model WindSim would predict wind field over complex terrain more reliable and less sensitive to climatology input data than other micrositing models. The auto-validation method proposed in this paper and the evaluation result of the micrositing softwares would be anticipated a good reference of wind resource assessments in complex terrain.

Constraints on the structure and composition of the active layer are important for understanding permafrost evolution. Soil convection owing to repeated moisture-induced freeze-thaw cycles within the active layer promotes the formation of self-organized patterned ground. Here we present the results of ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys across a selected sorted circle near King Sejong Station, Antarctica, to better delineate the active layer and its relation to the observed patterned ground structure. We acquire GPR data in both bistatic mode (common mid-points) for precise velocity constraints and monostatic mode (common-offset) for subsurface imaging. Reflections are derived from the active layer-permafrost boundary, organic layer-weathered soil boundary within the active layer, and frozen rock-fracture-filled ice boundary within the permafrost. The base of the imaged sorted circle possesses a convex-down shape in the central silty zone, which is typical for the pattern associated with convection-like soil motion within the active layer. The boundary between the central fine-silty domain and coarse-grained stone border is effectively identified in a radar amplitude contour at the assumed active layer depth, and is further examined in the frequency spectra of the near- and far-offset traces. The far-offset traces and the traces from the lower frequency components dominant on the far-offset traces would be associated with rapid absorption of higher frequency radiowave due to the voids in gravel-rich zone. The presented correlation strategies for analyzing very shallow, thin-layered GPR reflection data can potentially be applied to the various types of patterned ground, particularly for acquiring time-lapse imaging, when electric resistivity tomography is incorporated into the analysis.

Antarctic King Sejong Station was established in King George Island, the South Pole in 1988, and has been executing the monitoring studies on the change of antarctic natural environment. As an available power, the wind energy generator has been used in the form of hybrid with mainly diesel generator. Because the wind generation power sharply changes by wind energy, it must be careful during the system operation. When the power system becomes stable, the output performance of wind energy generator becomes stable. But, in case of unstable system, the errors frequently occur on the wind energy generator and it badly impacts the power system by output of wind energy generator. The purpose of this paper is to analyze suitability while operating the system of 10kW wind energy generator at Antarctic King Sejong Station, an isolated area, and to analyze the problem and improvements by power quality.

As a baseline survey for long-term monitoring on environmental change around the Antarctic King Sejong Station, distribution pattern of Deschampsia antarctica Desv., a flowering plant newly colonized were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively in both austral summer 2002 and 2003. Dispersal of the seeds and vegetative leaves by skuas might lead to the colonization into this area from neighbors in Maxwell Bay. The pioneer populations were observed around ponds and a stream of the Sejong Point in January 2002, and the maximum dispersal area was four times expanded after a year. Most of the populations were formed on the stable and well-drained substrate, which consisted of moss carpet of Sanionia georgico-uncinata (65%) and pebbles (25%), while only a few young individuals were observed on the unstable and watertight silt-sandy area. Especially, S. georgico-uncinata was being effectively utilized as their primary substrate with the soft, coarse and water-contained leaves. Also the perennial mature plants of D. antarctica were mainly formed on the moss carpet rather than pebbles. A few individuals were grown on other mosses of Polytrichastrum alpinum, Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Pohlia cruda, and Conostomum magellanicum and on a liverwort of Cephaloziella varians. We expect that dispersal of D. antarctica and the following succession to grass field will be countinuously and dynamically proceeded in this area, with the characteristics of ecological niche against the initial moss populations, on the similar continuity of environmental conditions. The continuous observations are needed with establishment of database on environmental change of micro-habitats, e.g. the water content and nutrients of soil and the underground temperature and permafrost.

남극 연안에 우점하는 남극암치아목과, 암치아목속 어류 두 종 (Notothenia coriiceps와 Notothenia rossii)의 전장과 무게의 관계를 조사하였다. 어류는 2017년 1월에 남극 킹조지섬에 위치한 세종과학기지 연안에서 낚시로 채집되었다. 총 30마리가 채집된 N. coriiceps의 평균 전장은 266.0 mm였고, 7마리가 채집된 N. rossii의 평균전장은 275.4 mm이었다. 평균 무게의 경우 N. coriiceps는 283.1 g이었고, N. rossii는 290 g이었다. 전장과 무게의 관계를 조사한 결과, 두 종 모두 양의 상대성장 값(b>3)을 보였다. 본 조사에서 얻은 남극 연안에 우점하는 두 종의 크기 자료는 남극 해양생물의 환경적응 기작과 생물학적 대사과정을 이해하기 위한 관련 생리 연구를 수행하는데 있어서, 좋은 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
