This study was conducted to evaluate water quality in coastal sea of Kunsan using multivariate analysis. The analysis data in Coastal Sea of Kunsan use of surveyed data by the NFRDI from April 2000 to November 2002. Twelve water Quality parameter were determined on each sample. The results was summarized as follow ; Water quality in coastal sea of Kunsan could be explained up to 62.782% by four factors which were included in loading of nitrogen-nutrients by Keum river(24.688%), suspended solids variation (12.180%), seasonal climate variation (18.367%) and variation of DIP (10.546%). To analyze spatially and monthly variation by factor score, it was divided by inner area and outer area spatially, and spring and summer monthly. The result of time series analysis by factor score, inner area of Kunsan coastal sea(St.1 and St. 2) was the most affected by nitrogen-nutrient and suspended solids due to runoff by Keum river. It could be suggested from these results that it is important to reduce tile pollution loads from Kuem river for the control of the water quality in coastal sea of Kunsan.

The reclamation area of Saemangeum(Kunsan) located between 126。10´E - 126。50´ E and 35。35´N - 36。05´N at the western coast of Korea. The construction of the 33km sea dike is building in the Saemangeum area. When the construction of the sea dike in the coastal region takes plase, there exists, a certain amount of soil which is diffused by the tidal current. (omitted)

Concentrations of suspended particulate matters (SPM) and their distribution patterns were monitored three times in the East China Sea during the winter season in 1998 and 1999. SPM concentrations showed significant temporal variations controlled by the atmospheric conditions and sea states. In coastal area, SPM values were about 10-20 mg/l in fair weather conditions, but exceeded 100mg/l during the storm periods. Turbid waters were distributed widespread in the continental shelf of the East China Sea and the coastal area of the Korean Peninsula, and these two areas were connected along a NE-SW direction. The distribution patterns of turbid waters were interpreted as representing the transport behavior of suspended matter. Although the primary source of inner shelf mud deposits of Korea seems to be the Korean Peninsula, contribution from the East China Sea to the coastal area of Korea increases especially during the winter season.

In order to understand the tidal hydrodynamics of the Yellow Sea and Parts of the East China Sea, we have developed a three-dimensional, fine resolution, nonlinear, harmonic finite element model. Major four tidal constituents, M$_2$, S$_2$, K$_1$ and O$_1$ are used as forcing along the open boundary. Due to the shallowness of the region, tidal results are strongly affected by the bottom roughness coefficients, especially for the quadratic form. (omitted)

Coastal boundary current flows along the eastern boundary of the Yellow Sea and its speed was about 0.l m/s during the summer 2007. In order to find major factors that affect the coastal boundary current in the eastern Yellow Sea, three-dimensional numerical model experiments were performed. The model simulation results were validated against hydrographic and current meter data in the eastern Yellow Sea. The eastern boundary current flows along the bottom front over the upper part of slopping bottom. Strength and position of the current were affected by tides, winds, local river discharge, and solar radiation. Tidal stirring and surface wind mixing were major factors that control the summertime boundary currents along the bottom front. Tidal stirring was essential to generate the bottom temperature front and boundary current. Wind mixing made the boundary current wider and augmented its north-ward transport. Buoyancy forcing from the freshwater input and solar radiation also affected the boundary current but their contributions were minor. Strong (weak) tidal mixing during spring (neap) tides made the northward transport larger (smaller) in the numerical simulations. But offshore position of the eastern boundary current's major axis was not apparently changed by the spring-neap cycle in the mid-eastern Yellow Sea due to strong summer stratification. The mean position of coastal boundary current varied due to variations in the level of wind mixing.

Storm surges caused by a typhoon occur during the summer season, when the sea-level is higher than the annual average due to steric effect. In this study, we analyzed the sea-level pressure and tidal data collected in 1 h intervals at Incheon, Kunsan, Mokpo, Seogwipo stations on the Yellow Sea coast to analyze the summer season storm surge and wave overtopping. According to our analyses, the summer mean sea-level rise on the west and south coasts is approximately 20 cm and 15 to 20 cm higher than the annual mean sea-level rise. Changes in sea-level rise are closely related to changes in seasonal sea-level pressure, within the range of 1.58 to 1.73 cm/hPa. These correlated mechanisms generates a phase difference of one month or more. The 18.6 year long period tidal constituents indicate that in 2090, the amplitude of the $M_2$ basin peaks on the southwest coast. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the target year for global warming and sea-level rise in 2090. Wave overtopping was simulated considering annual mean sea-level rise, summer sea level rise, the combined effect of nodal factor variation, and 100-year frequency storm surge. As a result, flooding by wave overtopping occurs in the area of Suyong Bay, Busan. In 2090, overtopping discharges are more than doubled than those in Marine City by the recent typhoon Chaba. Adequate coastal design is needed to prepare for flood vulnerability.

Current and sea level were observed in spring 1999 by a bottom mounted ADCP and tide gauge in the central part of the South Sea of Korea. With respect to the front, the distribution of isotherms is prograde in the offshore region whereas that of isohalines is retrograde, especially in the coastal area. The combined effect results in shoaling of isopycnals at the front. This distribution corresponds to a westward coastal flow on the northern side of the front and the eastward Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) to the south, determined by vessel-mounted ADCP observations. The low-frequency current shows either alternating clockwise-counterclockwise rotation or else persistent eastward motion depending on the frontal motion. Fluctuations of wind, sea level and current are coherent at period of 3-4 days and show some characteristics of Ekman-like dynamics.

Time series satellite image data were used to discuss the possibility of the industrialization of the Kunsan area. The satellite observation was performed from 1979 to 1987 and it revealed a big change in the geographical features due to the rapid development of this area. From the previous experience regarding the industrialization of the coastal district of the Seto Inland Sea, the Kunsan area is very promising as an industrialized world trade center.

The oceanic effect on the coastal climate, the air temperature and the humidity, in Korea was studied by using the meteorological and the sea surface temperature data compiled from 1962 to 1981. The fluctuation of sea surface temperature plays an important role in determining the air temperature and the humidity in the coastal area, The sea surface temperature is higher than the air temperature from September to March in the western coastal area, and from September to April in the southern and the eastern coastal areas, It is found that in March the air temperature begins to surpass the sea ourface temperature in the western coastal area, and in April in the southern and the eastern coastal areas. On the basis of the multiple regression analysis it is found that the oceanic effect on the coastal climate, the air temperature and the humidity, in the western coastal area is different that in the southern and the eastern coastal areas.
