Ten-year AVHRR sea surface temperature data obtained in the Yellow Sea are put into EOF analyses. Temperature variation is predominated by the first mode which is associated with the seasonal fluctuation of temperature with annual range decreasing with the bottom depth. Since such a strong annual signal may mask the upwind or downwind flows occurring intermittently during the winter, only the data obtained during this season are put into EOF analyses. Every winter shows similar results. The first mode, explaining more than 90% of total variance, appears to be a part of the seasonal variation of temperature mentioned above. In the second mode, the time coefficient is well correlated with northerly winds to which the responses of the trough and shallow coastal areas are opposite to each other. A simple theoretical consideration suggests the following physical explanation: The northerly wind stress anomaly creates an upwind (downwind) flow over the trough (coastal) areas, which then induces a temperature increase (decrease) by advection of heat, and vice versa for the southerly wind stress anomaly. Hence, this paper provides further evidence of the intermittent upwind or downwind flows occurring in the Yellow Sea every winter.

We investigated temporal and depth-related variation in species composition and abundance of the fish assemblage in the southern East Sea. Fish samples were collected seasonally between 2007 and 2008 using a demersal trawl off the southern coast of Korea. We identified 59 fish species belonging to 41 families. The most frequently occurring species was Coelorinchus multispinulosus, followed by Lophius litulon, Acropoma japonicum and Apogon lineatus. The five most abundant species were A. lineatus, A. japonicum, Myctophum nitidulum, Engraulis japonicus and C. multispinulosus, accounting for 87.04% of the total number of individuals collected. The number of species, abundance and diversity fluctuated with sampling location and time. Permutational multivariate analyses of variance revealed that the assemblage structure was influenced by year, season and water depth, with season being the main indicator. These changes were visually emphasized using non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination plots. Fluctuations in assemblage structure were due to differential contributions of the dominant species.

Yellow bitterns (Ixobrychus sinensis) are a small wetland bird common to Asian countries including South Korea, Japan, and China. The aim of this study is to describe diet of yellow bitterns during the breeding season in artificial wetland of northeastern South Korea between May to August 1999-2001. For the purposes of this paper, we observe the frequency of nest visiting by parents during the chick rearing period. A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items. A bolus contained mean 3.8 items and weighs 0.2 g to 7.7 g. The most regularly occurring food items recorded are fish (63%) and insets (33%). In terms of fish, top mouth minnows (Pseudorasbora parva) and crucian carps (Carassius auratus) are frequently observed. In terms of insects, there are mosquitoes (Diptera), instars of dragonfly (Libelluidae), damselflies (Coenagrinonidae) and water bugs (Diplonychus japonicus). Yellow bitterns were also shown to feed on bull frogs (Rana catesbeiana), shrimp (Palaemonidae), and spiders (Araneae). The size of fish in a bolus ranged from 15.56 mm to 93.73 mm (mean, 37.08 mm). The amount of food can be observed to increase with the age of chicks (r = 0.279, P = 0.025, N = 64) but parents did not provide larger fish as chicks grew. Parent birds visited nests more frequently when they have a larger brood ($F_{1,21}$ = 14.529, P = 0.001). Our results suggest that fish is the most important prey during the breeding season and that age of chicks is related to amount of diet in yellow bitterns.

봄 가뭄탐지를 위한 위성영상 활용을 위해 중 저해상 위성영상인 Landsat TM(Thematic Mapper) 영상을 이용하여 기존의 봄철 가뭄 해석에 많이 사용되어온 정규식생지수(NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)이외에 MSI(Moisture Stress Index), MidIR Index, II (Infrared Index) 지수들의 가뭄분석 활용가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경상북도 영천시를 대상으로 무강수일수에 따른 영상을 선정하여 DN(Digital Number)값의 특성 및 상관성을 분석하고 이와 더불어 가뭄지수와의 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 NDVI와 MSI 및 II 지수는 높은 상관관계를 보였으나, MidIR은 낮은 상관관계를 보였으며, 가뭄지수와의 분석에서도 MSI 및 II 지수는 강한 상관관계를 보여주었다. 따라서 MSI와 II 지수를 이용한 가뭄연구를 통해 정보의 다양성 및 정확도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 미국 휴스턴에서 실시된 대규모 시험포장에서 포설계절이 콘크리트포장의 시공초기의 균열발생 패턴에 큰 영향을 준다는 사실이 발견되었는데, 그 내용은 더운계절 시공은 선선한 계절의 시공보다 훨씬 많은 초기균열을 유발시키며, 더운계절시공의 경우 아침일찍 포설한 부분이 오후에 포설한 부분보다 훨씬 많은 초기균열을 유발시킨다는 것이다. 여기서 초기 균열이라 함은 포설후 며칠 이내에 발생하는 균열을 말하며, 대체로 균열틈이 과도하게 벌어지고 균열모양도 구불구불하여 결과적으로 콘크리트 포장 수명단축의 원인이 되는 균열들을 말한다. 본 연구의 목적은 콘크리트 포장의 시공에 있어서 어느 계절에 포설했는지 또는 하루중 몇시쯤에 포설했는지 하는등 포설시기가 콘크리트포장의 초기 균열 발생에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 그 원인을 규명하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 포설 시기의 영향을 시멘트의 수화작용(hydration)과 외부온도 조건간의 상호 작용을 규명함으로써 설명하였다.

Spatial and temporal distributions of POC and DOC were surveyed in the North Han River system, Korea The proportion of algal cells was calculated in four reservoirs (Lakes Soyang, Paro, Chunchon, and Uiam). Monthly average DOC concentrations ranged from 1.5 to 2.3 mg C/L, and POC showed larger variation than DOC (range 0.3 to 1.9 mg C/L). The average proportion of POC in TOC was higher than those of typical natural lakes. Due to the influence of the Asian summer monsoon, the seasonal variation in POC concentration depended on heavy rain events occurring during the summer. POC concentrations increased during the summer monsoon season due to turbid storm runoff laden with debris, while DOC concentrations did not increase. The highest POC concentrations were observed in Lake Soyang in 2006 when a severe rain event occurred. In two deep stratified reservoirs (Lake Soyang and Paro) storm runoffs formed an intermediate turbidity layer with high POC and chlorophyll concentrations which is thought to originate from terrestrial debris and periphyton transported by inflowing streams. The proportion of algal cells in total POC was much lower than for most natural lakes, and it varied with season; low in the monsoon season and high in dry seasons with algal blooms. An analysis of POC concentration and chlorophyll a concentration showed that the ratio of POC/Chl.a varied from 24 to 80.

A study was made on the primary production of Lake Changjamot during the spring season of 1973 by menas of the oxygen method. The stratification of temperature and dissolved oxygen were formed in May with the stratified structure of phytoplankton. The range of Secchi disc transparency was from 0.8m to 2.3m during the nine months of this investigation, which was begun in January, 1973. The value was lowest in early June when the phytoplankton blooming reached the peak. The concentration of PO4-P, NH3-N, NO3-N and NO3-N was reduced at the beginning of the phytoplankton blooming and increased again after May except PO4-P. It might have been caused by the inflow of the nitogenous fertilizer from the surrounding agricultural area since May when farming was started. The total amount of chlorophyll-a in the entire water column varied from 25mg/$m^2$ to 277mg/$m^2$ from January till September with the maximum value occurring in early June. These values show a considerable eutrophication of the in comparison with the data obtained in 1969. The daily gross production in the lake varied from a low of 655mgC/$m^2$ to a high of 2,859 mgC/$m^2$ during the spring season and this corresponds to the variation of the amount of chlorophyll. The total amount of daily respiration varied from 650mg C/$m^2$ in winter to 2,307 mg C/$m^2$ in late spring and exceeds gross primary production especially in late May showing the negative balance of daily production and consumption of organic material at that time. In conclusion, Lake Changjamot is a fairly productive and a moderately autotrophic lake and has been eutrophicated much during the past four years.

Gravel scattering that is generated during operation of high-speed railway vehicle is cause to damage of vehicle such as windows, axle protector and so on. Especially, those are frequently occurred in winter season when snow ice is generated easily. Above all, damage of vehicle windows has not only caused maintenance cost but also increased psychological anxiety of passengers. Various methods such as heating system using copper wire, heating jacket and heating air are applied to remove snow ice generated on the under-body of vehicle. However, the methods require much run-time and man power which can be low effectiveness of work. Therefore, this paper shows that large-area heating system was developed based on heating coat in order to fundamentally prevent snow ice damage on high-speed railway vehicle in the winter season. This system gives users high convenience because that can remotely control the heating system using IoT-based wireless communication. For evaluating the applicability to railroad sites, a field test on an actual high-speed railroad operation was conducted by applying these techniques to the brake cylinder of a high-speed railroad vehicle. From the results, it evaluated how input voltage and electric power per unit area of the heating specimen influences exothermic performance to draw the permit power condition for icing. In the future, if the system developed in the study is applied at the railroad site, it may be used as a technique for preventing all types of damages occurring due to snow ice in winter.

본 연구는 한국 산림생태계의 주요 우점종인 소나무와 졸참나무의 수분 이용 전략을 비교·분석하기 위해, 2019년 3월부터 12월까지 경기도 포천시에서 시행되었다. 소나무(n=6)와 졸참나무(n=3)의 수액속밀도와 환경 변수인 대기 온도, 상대습도, 강수량, 순복사량, 토양수분을 측정하여 계절변화 및 환경 변수에 따른 수액 이동 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수종의 최대 수액속밀도는 생장 기간(5-10월)에 졸참나무가 소나무보다 2배 가까이 높았으며, 졸참나무는 9월에 소나무는 8월에 가장 높았다. 수액속밀도에 영향을 주는 주요한 환경 변수들은 포화수증기압차와 순복사량이었으며, 대기 온도는 영향을 주지 못했다. 이력현상 분석에서 소나무는 건조해짐에 따라 기공을 닫고 졸참나무는 여전히 기공을 열어두는 전략을 사용하는 것을 발견하였다. 수관전도도 역시 최대 수액속밀도와 비슷한 경향을 보이며, 졸참나무의 수관전도도가 소나무의 수관전도도보다 약 2배 정도 더 높았다. 본 연구에서는 두 수종의 수분 이용 전략을 비교 분석하였고, 더 명확한 기작의 이해를 위해 생리적 특성뿐만 아니라 형태적 특성에 관한 연구도 병행되어야 할 것이다.
