The giant jellyfish, Nemopilema nomurai, is an endemic species found in Northeast Asian waters and their population structures, such as size and genetics, and their environmental characteristics were investigated. N. nomurai was obtained from the Yellow and Northern East China Seas during the summers of 2006, 2007, and 2009. In the northern Yellow Sea, small-sized jellyfish were found to be dominant and towards the southern seas, the size of the jellyfish increased. In the northern East China Sea, only one mode of jellyfish was found in May, and the number of modes increased up-to five in July. However, at the center of the Yellow Sea, one or two modes were found in July, 2007. Thus, different jellyfish populations were present in the northern East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. However, based on first appearance and a cohort analysis using the bell diameter, the jellyfish population in the northern Yellow Sea might be recognized as a distinct group that differed from those found in the northern East China Sea. Furthermore, mitochondrial DNA sequences (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) of N. nomurai were, determined and compared with genetic structures obtained from jellyfish in the Yellow Sea. The genetic diversity of N. nomurai was highest in the regions around the northern East China Sea and at the center of the Yellow Sea and was the lowest around the northern Yellow Sea. Thus, N. nomurai populations in the Yellow Sea and northern East China Sea might be different concerning their seeding places.

In the Northeast Asian region fisheries agreements of the past regarding high seas as an agreement area were transformed or new agreements were introduced in order to conform to the EEZ regime. However, the existing joint regulatory zone which “open” status is somewhat similar to the high sea not only disappear, but also two new systems were established. To begin with, parties of the agreement claimed their EEZs to be from the territorial sea baselines to the extent set forth, problem of the fishery access of the other party under the agreement is to be solved on the principle of reciprocity and on recognizing of the catch results achieved in the past. In regards to the overlapping zones like neutral zone of the East Sea of Korea(Sea of Japan) and neutral zone to the south of the Cheju Island, provisional measures zones in the Yellow Sea and in the East China Sea, and transitional zone of the Yellow Sea special fisheries management systems reflecting the legal character of the zone involved are applied. Moreover, as fisheries agreements defining open sea as an agreement zone are not able to conform to the EEZ regime, so new fisheries agreements must be taken out from old systems and conceptions, and must be understood and enforced from the new point view. Therefore, countermeasures needed to do so should be developed, and their basic structure is as follows. Firstly, the basic concept of the EEZ regime requires that the coastal states have sovereign rights on their sea zones' natural resources and bear responsibilities appropriate to their allowed jurisdiction. Each Northeast Asian state should adjust the structure of fishing industries and employ advanced fisheries management system, and should make efforts toward such issues of the state policy as increasing fishery resources and preserving ocean environment. Secondly, measures should be developed to solve the international fisheries disputes which are to occur under enforcement of the new fisheries agreements system. In regards to the acts of violation the fisheries laws in the foreign EEZ the principle of jail sentence prohibition is established by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and every fisheries agreement reflects this principle. Therefore, the present question is to consider concrete measures to enable the easy release of the seamen, who violated fisheries laws slightly and well-intently, through establishment and management of the guarantee fund needed to make collateral reasonable. Thirdly, Korean-Russian and Russian-Japanese fisheries relations were formed on the basis of the EEZ regime, since 1992 and 1977 respectively, and are expected to maintain mutually beneficial cooperative character. As for Korean-Chinese-Japanese fisheries relations, the operational problems of overlapping zones, and problem of the permits for EEZ mutual access should be solved on the basis of the principle of reciprocity and equity rather than unilaterally from any side.

북동아시아 해역에서 10년 동안 관측된 광범위한 해양관측 자료와 인공위성 자료를 이용하여 인공위성이 관측한 해수면온도의 정확도를 평가하고 오차(인공위성 해수면온도-실측수온)의 특성을 조사하였다. 845개의 일치점 자료를 분석한 결과 위성 해수면온도 (MCSST)는 해양 관측치에 대해 0.89$^{\circ}C$의 제곱평균오차와 0.18$^{\circ}C$의 편차를 보였다. 위성 수온의 오차는 40$^{\circ}N$에서 $\pm3^{\circ}C$에 달하는 위도에 따른 의존성을 보였는데 이는 고위도 해역에 존재하는 작은 소용돌이, 해류, 열전선의 큰 시공간적 변동성과 관련 있는 것으로 판단된다. 많은 수의 위성 해수면온도 자료는 겨울철에 해양관측치보다 낮게 산출되고 여름철에는 높게 산출되는 경향이 있었다. 이러한 계절적 의존성은 인공위성 표층부이 자료가 아닌 해양조사선과 계류부이의 수온자료에서 발견되었는데 해양 상층의 수 m 이내에 강한 수직적 수온 구배가 있음을 보여준다. 본 연구는 인공위성 자료로부터 해수면온도를 산출할 때 해양 피층과 그 아래 층 사이의 수온 차이를 고려하고 보정하려는 노력이 필요함을 강조한다.

북서태평양의 $115{\sim}150^{\circ}E,\;20{\sim}52^{\circ}N$ 사이의 해역을 $1/12^{\circ}$ 격자망으로 구성한 광역 조석 모델을 수립, 연안역 수심 조정이 전체 조석 모델 결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 최소 수심을 10 m에서 35 m까지 5 m 간격으로 증가시키며 계산된 모델의 정확도를 비교한 결과, $M_2,\;S_2,\;K_1$ 진폭의 정확도가 최소 수심이 25m일 경우최소 수심 10 m인 경우와 비교하여 각각 약 42%, 32%, 26% 정도 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 제주도 주변 해역의 $M_2$ 조석 진폭은 연안역 수심 조정에 따라 약 20cm이상 차이를 나타냈으며 발해만 내에 존재하는 무조점의 위치도 크게 변화하였다. 해저마찰계수 및 최소수심에 따른 평균상대오차(ARE)를 계산해 본 결과 해저마찰계수 0.0015와 최소수심 25 m의 조합이 오차를 최소화 할 수 있는 최적 값으로 확인되었다.

Observation data measured at Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) have been utilized in oceanographic and atmospheric studies since 2003. Sea level data observed at the IORS have not been paid attention as compared with many other variables such as aerosol, radiation, turbulent flux, wind, wave, fog, temperature, and salinity. Total sea level rises at the IORS (5.6 mm yr^-1) from both satellite and tide-gauge observations were higher than those in the northeast Asian marginal seas (5.4 mm yr^-1) and the world (4.6 mm yr^-1) from satellite observation from 2009 to 2018. The rates of thermosteric, halosteric, and steric sea level rises were 2.7-4.8, -0.7-2.6, 2.3-7.4 mm yr^-1 from four different calculating methods using observations. The rising rate of the steric sea level was higher than that of the total sea level in the case with additional data quality control. Calculating the non-steric sea level was not found to yield meaningful results, despite the ability to calculate non-steric sea level by simply subtracting the steric sea level from total sea level. This uncertainty did not arise from the data analysis but from a lack of good data, even though tide, temperature, and salinity data were quality controlled two times by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanography Agency. The status of the IORS data suggests that the maintenance management of observation systems, equipment, and data quality control should be improved to facilitate data use from the IORS.
