In cold season, the developed extratropical cyclones and associated cold fronts, and NW winter monsoon are encountered very frequently in the North Pacific, especially in the northwest part of it. The two sea areas, namely, the northwest part of North Pacific, especially the eastern area far off Japan east coast, and Burmuda Triangle in the North Atlantic are generally known as two of the most dangerous areas in the world because of high incidence of sea casualties. Even large ocean going vessels were sunk frequently due to strong winds and very high seas caused by NW monsoon or developed cyclones during the winter months. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the real state of heavy weather and high sea phenomena on the vesscls at sea, thus helping mariners operate in such conditions.

More than 20 and 10 clades / ecotypes of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, respectively, have been identified in various oceanic regions. However, their diversity has yet to be thoroughly studied in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Further, spatial distribution of Synechococcus clades in the oligotrophic oceans has been scarcely characterized. To elucidate picocyanobacterial lineage distribution in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences of picocyanobacteria were sequenced by barcoded amplicon pyrosequencing method. Additional pyrosequencing library using a primer specific for the Synechococcus subcluster-5.1 was constructed to thoroughly understand Synechococcus diversity in the oligotrophic oceans. In warm pool area, Prochlorococcus was predominant and showed a distinct depthpartitioning between HLII and LL ecotypes. Despite low abundances, diverse Synechococcus clades appeared in the oligotrophic open ocean, showing both vertical and horizontal niche partitioning. Clade II was the predominant Synechococcus clade, especially in upper euphotic depths. In shallow and middle euphotic depths, clades UC-A, III, and CRD1 were distributed broadly. However, a distinct shift in the horizontal distribution was found at ca. $20^{\circ}N$. Conversely, clades XVII and CRD2 dominated at deep euphotic depths and constituted a higher proportion than clade II. These niche-partitioning of Synechococcus clades seemed to be related with temperature, nutrient concentration as well as iron concentration.

We interpreted marine seismic profiles in conjunction with swath bathymetric and magnetic data to investigate rifting to breakup processes at the eastern Korean margin that led to the separation of the southwestern Japan Arc. Analysis of rift fault patterns suggests that rifting at the Korean margin was primarily controlled by normal faulting resulting from extension rather than strike-slip deformation. Two extension directions of E-W and NW-SE for rifting are recognized. We interpret that the E-W direction represents initial rifting at the inner margin and the NW-SE direction probably represents the extension in response to tensional tectonics associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate in the NW direction. No significant volcanism was involved in rifting. In contrast, the inception of sea floor spreading documents a pronounced volcanic phase which appears to reflect asthenospheric upwelling as well as rift-induced convection particularly in the narrow southern margin. We suggest that structural and igneous evolution of the Korean margin, although it is in a back-arc setting, can be explained by the processes occurring at the passive continental margin with magmatism influenced by asthenospheric upwelling.

전구해양순환모형인 Bryan-Cox-Semtner모형에서 파생된 NCAR의 NCOM모형을 이용하여 한반도 주변해역의 해수순환을 가능한 세밀하게 해상시킨 예단적 전구해양순환모형을 수립하였다. 모형영역은 남북방향으로 $80.6{^\circ}S~88.6{^\circ}N$의 범위로서 북극해가 제외되었으며, 한반도 주변이 약 $0.3^\circ$로 해상된 수평 가변격자와 연직방향으로 15층으로 구성하였다. 섬 주변해안의 순환을 적절히 재현하기 위한 구멍완화법(Hole-relaxation method)을 적용하여 22개의 섬처리가 고려되었으며, NCAR에서 CSM(Climate System Model)운용을 위해 300년동안 spin-up 계산된 결과를 초기자료로 하고, Choi et al.(2002)의 접합 대기해양모형의 결과로부터 얻은 바람응력자료가 사용되었다. 모형결과로부터, 전구와 북서태평양 해역의 순환패턴을 살펴보았으며, 한반도 주변의 5개해협에서의 용적수송량을 Choi et al.(2002)의 결과 및 관측치와 비교하였다.

This study investigates variations in the Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) and its impact on South Korean precipitation in late summer during the period between 1958 and 2017. Composite analysis reveals that precipitation occurrence is directly linked to the displacement of the WPSH western ridge, a single, large-scale feature of the atmosphere in the Pacific Ocean. When WPSH ridging is located northwest (NW) of its climatological mean position, excessive precipitation is expected in late summer due to enhanced moisture transport. On the other hand, a precipitation deficit is frequently observed when the western ridge is located in the southeast (SE). Different phases of the WPSH are associated with lagged patterns of Pacific and Atlantic atmospheric and oceanic variability, introducing the potential to predict variability in the WPSH western ridge and its climate over northern East Asia by one month. Based on the identified SST patterns, a simple statistical model is developed and improvement in the ability to predict is confirmed through a cross-validation framework. Finally, the potential for further improvements in WPSH-based predictions is addressed.

In cold season, ice accretion on ship, drift ice, NW winter monsoon, developed extratropical cyclones and associated cold fronts, in warm season, tropical cyclones and dense sea fogs, are encountered very frequently in the North Pacific, especially in the northwest part of it. The two areas, namely, the northwest part of the North Pacific and Burmuda Triangle in the North Atlantic are generally known as most dangerous areas in the world because its high incidence of sea cascualities. In recent years, the small fisherboats operating in the northern seas were frequently sunk in a group as they encountered ice accretion or drift ice. And ocean going vessels were also sunk frequently due to strong winds and very high seas in winter monsoon or developed cyclones and cold fronts. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the real state of heavy weather conditions such as ice accretion on ship drift, ice, typhoons and sea fogs, and also to analyse the effect of these heavy weather phenomena on the vessels at sea, thus helping mariners operate in such heavy weather conditions.

Lomilik Seamount in the west Pacific was seismically surveyed and photographed to illuminate the bottom topography, the condition of manganese crust, and the characteristics of sedimentary environment. Lomilik Seamount has a NW-SE elongated bottom topography with steep slopes in the NESW direction part. Even though the steep slopes of the seamount are devoid of deposits, the summit area and gentle slope of the seamount are covered with thick deposits. The seismic data indicate that Lomilik Seamount is a flat-topped and step-faulted guyot of volcanic origin. Deep-sea camera photographs show that much of the seafloor is rippled in symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns. The traces of biological activity were distinct on gentle seafloor suggesting the low-energy bottom conditions. Some photographs also show outcrops encrusted with manganese crusts. Sedimentary environments in the Lomilik Seamount appear have been governed by regional morphology and strong bottom current.

한국기상청에서는 지난 40여년간 영역기상방송(WE-FAX)을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 북서태평양을 통항하는 대부분의 항해사는 한국 기상청 영역기상방송을 이용하지 않고 일본 및 미국의 영역기상방송을 이용하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 항해사를 대상으로 설문조사와 병행하여 한국, 일본 및 미국의 종관일기도를 조사하여 비교 분석함으로써, 한국기상청의 영역기상방송 서비스 개선 방안을 제시한다. 그 결과, (1) 교육과정중 항해사에게 한국기상청의 영역기상방송 서비스에 대해 홍보하여 인지도를 높인다 (2) 원양선의 VOS 시스템 참여를 유도하여 일기도의 정확도를 제고한다 (3) 외양파랑도 및 지상일기예상도 등 일기도 콘텐츠를 다양화하고 항행안전에 도움이 되는 유익한 기상정보를 추가하는 방안을 제시한다.

이 연구는 남서태평양 통가열도에 위치한 TA (Tofua Arc) 12 해저산에 대한 해저지형, 자력자료를 이용한 자화벡터역산 모델링을 통해 해저면에서 심부층까지의 종합적인 3차원 자력구조 특징을 분석하였다. 북서-남동 방향성을 가진 타원형의 칼데라 해저지형이 TA 12 해저산 정상부에서 나타나며, 두 개의 작은 콘 모양의 지형이 칼데라 정상부 함몰지형에 존재한다. 또한 해저산 정상부 서쪽 사면에서는 콘 지형이 나타나는 지역부터 해저산 기저부 남서쪽 사면까지 큰 규모의 사면 해저곡이 보인다. TA 12 해저산에서는 칼데라 함몰지형에 저자기이상대가 나타나고 그 주변 칼데라 정상부 및 사면 지역에 고자기이상대가 둘러싸여 있다. 이는 함몰지형을 포함한 칼데라 정상부 지역에 강한 자성체의 분포 또는 마그마 관입 가능성이 있다고 해석될 수 있다. 3차원으로 해석된 자화벡터역산 결과에서는 해저 -3000 m부터 해저산의 주변 사면지역에서의 고이상대 존재와 자기 감수율이 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형의 천부층으로 향해 증가함을 보여 준다. 한편 주로 칼데라 정상부의 해저면 근처에서 소규모 고이상대들이 곳곳에 나타나고 있다. 따라서 TA 12 해저산에서는 마그마가 심부에서 천부로 올라올 때 해저산 주변 사면부에서 칼데라 정상부 및 함몰지형으로 이동했음이 예상된다. 그리고 해저면 근처의 복잡한 자력분포는 잔류자화의 영향으로 추정된다.
