Since the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS)/Nimbus-7 was launched in 1978, a variety of studies have been conducted to retrieve ocean color variables from multi-satellites. Several algorithms and formulations have been suggested for estimating ocean color variables based on multi band data at different wavelengths. Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration is one of the most important variables to understand low-level ecosystem in the ocean. To retrieve chl-a concentrations from the satellite observations, an appropriate algorithm depending on water properties is required for each satellite sensor. Most operational empirical algorithms in the global ocean have been developed based on the band-ratio approach, which has the disadvantage of being more adapted to the open ocean than to coastal areas. Alternative algorithms, including the semi-analytical approach, may complement the limits of band-ratio algorithms. As more sensors are planned by various space agencies to monitor the ocean surface, it is expected that continuous monitoring of oceanic ecosystems and environments should be conducted to contribute to the understanding of the oceanic biosphere and the impact of climate change. This study presents an overview of the past and present algorithms for the estimation of chl-a concentration based on multi-satellite data and also presents the prospects for ongoing and upcoming ocean color satellites.

Long-term, continuous, and real-time ocean monitoring has been undertaken in order to evaluate various oceanographic phenomena and processes in the East/Japan Sea. Recent technical advances combined with our concerted efforts have allowed us to establish a real-time monitoring system and to accumulate considerable knowledge on what has been taking place in water properties, current systems, and circulation in the East Sea. We have obtained information on volume transport across the Korea Strait through cable voltage measurements and continuous temperature and salinity profile data from ARGO floats placed throughout entire East Sea since 1997. These ARGO float data have been utilized to estimate deep current, inertial kinetic energy, and changes in water mass, especially in the northern East Sea. We have also developed the East Sea Real-time Ocean Buoy (ESROB) in coastal regions and made continual improvements till it has evolved into the most up-to-date and effective monitoring system as a result of remarkable technical progress in data communication systems. Atmospheric and oceanic measurements by ESROB have contributed to the recognition of coastal wind variability, current fluctuations, and internal waves near and off the eastern coast of Korea. Long-tenn current meter moorings have been in operation since 1996 between Ulleungdo and Dokdo to monitor the interbasin deep water exchanges between the Japanese and Ulleung Basins. In addition, remotely sensed satellite data could facilitate the investigation of atmospheric and oceanic surface conditions such as sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height, near-surface winds, oceanic color, surface roughness, and so on. These satellite data revealed surface frontal structures with a fairly good spatial resolution, seasonal cycle of SST, atmospheric wind forcing, geostrophic current anomalies, and biogeochemical processes associated with physical forcing and processes. Since the East Sea has been recognized as a natural laboratory for global oceanic changes and a clue to abrupt climate change, we aim at constructing a 4-D continuous real-time monitoring system, over a decade at least, using the most advanced techniques to understand a variety of oceanic processes in the East Sea.

The concentrations of atmospheric dimethylsulfide (DMS) and the relevant environmental parameters were measured as part of the 3rd year project (August 1997-July 1998) to investigate the long range transport of atmospheric pollutants (LRTAP) between China and Korea. The main purpose of this study was to derive the contribution of natural sulfur emissions (represented by oceanic DMS fluxes) in estimating the total budgets of sulfur transported across the Yellow Sea. To this end, DMS concentrations were determined from the two western coastal monitoring sites (Cheju and Kang Hwa islands) during three field intensive experiments covering fall, winter, and spring seasons. From these series of experiments, we found that DMS concentrations of Cheju and Kang Iffwa were averaged at 74 $\pm$ 49.5 (range: 19~282 pptv (N=81)) and 63.7 $\pm$ 35.1 (range:25.8~131 pptv (N=19)), respectively. By combining these 3rd year data with those measured previously from the 2nd year, we were able to derive some general pictures of seasonal distribution patterns of DMS. Although DMS data were difficult to derive relationships with other parameters determined simultaneously, they were rarely exhibiting good correlations with temperature or wind speed. The oceanic flux of DMS for the western coastal regions of Korea, when estimated based on our data from two islands, was found on the range of 8.8~12.2 GgS/yr. By considering the relationship between DMS and non-seasalt sulfate, we could also provide rough estimate of relative significance of natural emissions of sulfur. If oceanic DMS emitted from those regions is entirely converted to sulfate, it could represent 10 to 25% of total sulfur budgets in the western Sea of Korea.

기상과 기후는 인간의 생활과 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 특히 고해상도 기상 데이터를 활용하여 정밀한 연구나 실생활에 유용한 서비스가 가능하므로, 고해상도 기상·기후 데이터를 생산해야할 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 기존의 고해상도 기상 데이터는 적절한 보간법에 따라 데이터를 생산하지만, 본 논문에서는 SRCNN을 이용하여 기온 데이터를 초해상화 하는 방안을 제안한다. 기온 데이터 초해상화에 가장 적절한 SRCNN 모델을 구축하고, 기온 데이터를 초해상화 한다. 결과 데이터를 평가하기 위해 역거리 가중법을 이용하여 비 관측 지점에 대한 기온을 구하고, 제안한 방법을 적용한 기온 데이터와 보간법을 이용한 기온 데이터를 비교한다. 비교 결과, 기온 데이터를 초해상화하기 위한 적절한 SRCNN 모델을 구축하였고, 제안한 방법이 보간법을 이용한 방법보다 약 10.8% 더 높은 예측 성능을 보였다.

인공위성 자료를 활용한 중규모 소용돌이 탐지에는 해수면온도, 식물플랑크톤 클로로필-a 색소 농도, 해수면고도 등 다양한 해양 변수를 활용할 수 있다. 각 위성 해양 자료는 시 공간 해상도, 관측 방식 및 자료 처리 과정이 상이하기 때문에, 동일한 소용돌이에 대해서도 다른 탐지 결과를 유도할 수 있어, 인공위성 자료를 활용한 소용돌이 탐지에 대한 기초 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 해색 위성 자료, 위성 고도계 해수면고도 자료, 적외선 해수면온도 자료를 활용하여 동해 중규모 소용돌이를 탐지하고 그 결과를 상호 비교하였다. 연속된 해색 위성 클로로필-a 농도 영상으로부터 최대 상호 상관 계수를 통하여 산출한 표층 해류장과, 위성 고도계의 해수면고도 영상 자료로부터 산출한 지형류를 활용하여 동해 중규모 소용돌이를 탐지하였다. 소용돌이 탐지 결과를 상호 비교하기 위하여 1) 해색 영상과 고도계 영상이 동시에 소용돌이를 탐지한 경우, 2) 해색 영상과 해수면온도 영상에는 존재하나 고도계 자료는 탐지하지 못한 경우, 3) 해색 영상과 해수면온도 영상에는 소용돌이가 존재하지 않으나 고도계 자료에서는 존재하는 경우 등 세 가지 사례를 선택하였다. 이와 같은 세 가지 사례를 통하여 동해 중규모 소용돌이 탐지 시 인공위성 고도계 자료의 문제점 제기와 더불어, 해색 위성 자료와 적외선 해수면온도 자료의 한계점을 제시하였다. 또한 해양 현상과 인공위성 관측 원리에 대한 깊이 있는 이해를 기반으로 소용돌이 탐지 및 관련 연구가 진행되어야 함을 강조하였다.

Green tides that developed along the coast of China in 2015 were detected and tracked using vegetation indices from GOCI and Landsat images. Green tides first appeared near the Jiangsu Province on May 14 before increasing in size and number and moving northward to the Shandong Peninsula in mid-June. Typhoon Cham-hom passed through the Yellow Sea on July 12, significantly decreasing the algal population. An algae patch moved east toward Korea and on June 18 and July 4, several masses were found between the southwestern shores of Korea and Jeju Island. The floating masses found in Korean waters were concentrated at the boundary of the open sea and the Jindo cold pool, a phenomenon also observed at the boundary of coastal and offshore waters in China. Sea surface temperatures, derived from NOAA SST data, were found to play a role in generation of the green tides.

Recently, with the rapid development in the oceanic systems such as the oceanic structures and vessel, there occurs much interest in the impingement erosion-corrosion. In this paper, Cu-metal was tested by using of erosion apparatus with water-jet type and was investigated under the behaviour of impingement erosion-corrosion according to various environmental conditions, and the properties of Cu-metal were evaluated through the measurement by weight loss, weight loss rate, protective efficiency. The results were compared with those obtained using Cu-metal applied to cathodic protection and Cu-alloys added to Zn or Al-metal. As a basis of those results, the best protective efficiencies could be taken as using cathodic protection method and Cu-alloy with Al & Zn material addings, and will be suggested as the fundamental data of the anti-impingement erosion-corrosion on Cu-metal of impeller material for oceanic centrifugal pump.

The characteristics of surface circulation in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are discussed by analyzing a great deal of current data observed by 142 sets of mooring buoy and 58 sets of drifters trajectories collected in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea through domestic and abroad measurements. Some major features are demonstrated as bellow: 1) Tsushima Warm Current flows away from the Kuroshio and has multiple sources in warm half year and comes only from Kuroshio surface water in cold half year. 2) Taiwan Warm Current comes mainly from the Taiwan Strait Water in warm half year and comes from the intruded Kuroshio surface water and branches near 27N in cold half year. 3) The Changjiang Diluted Water turns towards Cheju Island in summer and flows southward along the coastal line in winter. 4) The study sea area is an eddy developing area, especially in the southern area of Cheju Island and northern area of Taiwan.
