This research investigates the runoff characteristics of refractory organic matters from Kyongan river watershed. Samples were taken 27 times during dry season, 4 times during rain events and analyzed into flow rate, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC), Refractory Dissolved Organic Carbon (R-DOC), Refractory Particulate Organic Carbon (R-POC). R-DOC during dry season was the lowest in winter and showed a rising tendency in spring and R-POC changes less than R-DOC. The mass loading of Refractory Total Organic Carbon (R-TOC) in summer takes approximately 80% of 1 year mass loading. During rainy season, EMC of R-DOC was similar to R-DOC in dry season. But maximum EMC of R-POC was 12 times higher than that of R-POC in dry season. Results of the survey show that enhanced management of R-DOC in dry season and R-POC in rainy season is needed.

Organic carbon and nitrogen contents in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and surface sediments in seawater were measured in the Northern East China Sea in summer. The distribution of particulate organic carbon(POC) and particulate organic nitrogen(PON) were in the ranges of 54~481㎍/ℓ and 6~85㎍/ℓ, respectively, with relatively high level of concentrations in the western and southern sides of the study area. Also, there has been a significantly positive correlation between POC and PON, gradually increasing toward the deeper range of depth. Average C:N ratios of POC and PON of SPM were 6 in study area. The ratios of POC to PON of SPM increased as the range of depth increased, indicating nitrogen decomposes more rapidly than carbon and is considered to be influenced by the input of detritus from surface sediments. The distribution of total organic matter(TOM), total organic carbon(TOC) and total organic nitrogen(TON) in surface sediments were in the ranges of 3.1~9.6%, 0.282~0.635% and 0.022~0.069%, respectively, with relatively low range in the western and northern sides of the study area. The ratio of TOC to TON of surface sediments were in the range of 9.8~17.4(average of 13), strongly indicating the active role of the input from the terrestrial organic pollutants.

Hydrographic data including particulate organic carbon (POC) from the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NEGOM) study were used along with remotely sensed data obtained from NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) to develop POC algorithms to estimate POC concentration based on empirical and model-based principal component analysis (PCA) methods. In Case I and II waters empirical maximized simple ratio (MSR) and model-based PCA algorithms using full wavebands (blue, green and red wavelengths) provide more robust estimates of POC. The predicted POC concentrations matched well the spatial and seasonal distributions of POC measured in situ in the Gulf of Mexico. The ease in calculating the MSR algorithm compared to PCA analysis makes MSR the preferred algorithm for routine use. In order to determine the inter-annual variations of POC, MSR algorithms applied to calculate 100 monthly mean values of POC concentrations (September 1997-December 2005). The spatial and temporal variations of POC and sea surface temperature (SST) were analyzed with the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method. POC estimates showed inter-annual variation in three different locations and may be affected by El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o/Southern$ Oscillation (ENSO) events.

To understand the composition, quantity, and quality of Suspended Particulate Organic Matter (SPOM) in the Gangneung Namdae Stream, Korea, we examined spatiotemporal variations in water temperature, salinity, chlorophlly a (Chl a), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON), and carbon stable isotope (δ¹³C) of SPOM at six stations in June (pre-monsoon), July (monsoon), and September (post-monsoon) 2017. With increasing precipitation, the average POC and C/N values increased significantly in July than in June. In September, the values decreased with decreasing precipitation. The δ¹³C values showed irregular spatiotemporal fluctuations among the stations and periods, thereby suggesting a greater contribution of autochthonous organic matter to the pool of SPOM than that of allochthonous organic matter derived from upstream. In addition, the large and irregular changes in POC, C/N ratio, C:Chl a, and δ¹³C compared to that of PON were observed for all periods among the stations, indicating a serial discontinuity of the stream. Our results suggest that the Gangneung Namdae Stream is significantly influenced by the increase in freshwater discharge caused by heavy rainfalls during the summer monsoon and post-monsoon periods.

동해 남서해역에서 입자성 유기탄소와 질소의 시 공간적인 분포 특성을 파악하기 위해서 2011년 9월(하계), 2012년 1월(동계) 그리고 5월(춘계)에 조사하였다. 9월 표층수는 용승 현상에 따른 냉수괴가 관찰되지 않았지만, 높은 chlorophyll a(Chl-a) 농도, 낮은 비광합성 유기입자물질 비율(27%) 그리고 낮은 POC/PON 비(6.2)로 활발한 아미노산 및 단백질 합성을 의미하는 높은 기초생산을 보였다. 하지만, 2012년 5월에는 높은 비광합성 유기입자물질(66%)과 높은 POC/PON 비(8.1)에 근거할 때, 9월과 비교하여 상대적으로 낮은 생산성을 보였다. 이와 같이 식물플랑크톤의 대량 발생이 주로 춘계에 발생한다는 기존의 결과와 상반되며, 이는 춘계 대발생 후기의 동물플랑크톤에 의한 페오피그먼트(phaeopigment)의 증가 때문으로 해석된다. 따라서 입자성 유기물질의 조성은 같은 계절이라도 해양환경의 변화에 따라 달라질 것으로 보인다.

In order to establish annual variations in the marine ecosystem of the East China Sea, suspended solids (SSs) and particulate organic carbon (POC) were extensively investigated in the northern part of the East China Sea from August 2003 to April 2008. Surface SS concentrations showed large spatial variations in spring and fall, but not in summer. Surface SS concentrations in spring were lower than those in summer and fall. In summer, SSs discharged from Changjiang were mostly deposited in the coastal areas and did not reach our study area which was located about 260 km from the river mouth. High SS concentrations were observed near the bottom, which resulted from resuspension of bottom sediments by the bottom currents. Surface POC concentrations did not exhibited large seasonal variations. Phytoplankton biomass was a main factor controlling surface POC concentrations. POC/chlorophyll ratios showed large seasonal variations, with maximum numbers in summer. POC/PON ratios were higher in summer than the Redefied ratio (6.6), while they were lower in spring and fall. In summer, higher POC/chlorophyll and POC/PON ratios were probably attributed to the high phytoplankton mortality caused by nutrient depletion in surface waters.

To assess the relative contribution of bacterial and phytoplankton biomasses to particulate organic matter (POM) in the water column, microbial abundance and biomass were from two transects in the western channel of the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacterial abundance had a mean value of $5.9{\times}10^5$ cells/ml and chlorophyll-a averaged 0.14 ${\mu}g/l$. Bacterial abundance in the Korea Strait showed a positive relationship with chlorophyll-a concentration, while the distribution of POM did not covary with chlorophyll-a. Particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon and nitrogen biomasses were 7.29 ${\mu}gC/l$ and 1.24 ${\mu}gN/l$, respectively, during the study periods. Bacterial biomass was larger in October than in August due to the autumn phytoplankton bloom. Phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll-a was 7.67 ${\mu}gC/l$ for carbon and 1.10${\mu}gN/l$l for nitrogen. The ratio of bacterial carbon (BC) to phytoplankton carbon (Cp) averaged 0.95 in the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacteria may play a more significant role in the dynamics of POM than phytoplankton do in August, with BC/Cp ratio of 1.26. The ratio of BC to Cp increased with a decrease in chlorophyll-a concentration. Averaged over all the samples in both cruises, the contribution of microbial biomass to POC and PON was about 43% and 51%, respectively. Bacterial assemblage constituted a significant fraction of POC (21%) and PON (27%). Phytoplankton accounted for 22% of POC and 24% of PON. Microbial biomass played a more important role in the dynamics of POC and PON in October than in August due to a significant increase in microbial biomass in the southern transect (transect-B) in October by the autumn phytoplankton bloom. This study showed that marine microbes may constitute a significant part in the reservoir of POM in the Korea Strait.

동해에서 입자성 유기탄소(Particulate Organic Carbon, POC) 함량을 위성 관측으로 추정하기 위해 MODIS AQUA 위성 자료와 2006~2010 년 춘계와 하계에, 동해 서남부 해역의 30 개 정점에서 화학 분석을 통하여 측정한 POC 함량 자료를 원격 반사도, 확산광소산계수 등 MODIS Aqua 해색 위성 관측 자료와 비교하여 현장 값에 가장 근접하고 통계적으로 유의한 해수 중 POC 함량을 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 위성 자료가 현장 값에 가장 근접하는 경우는 $R_{rs}$(488)와 $R_{rs}$(555) 비율을 이용하는 경우로서 거듭 제곱형태로 $POC=266.85^*[R_{rs}(488)/R_{rs}(555)]^{-1.447}$ ($R^2=0.924$)이고, 평균 제곱근 오차는 20.9 mg $m^{-3}$로 양호하였다. 부유 입자 중 POC 이외 물질의 함량은 상기 알고리즘에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 동해 서남부 해역의 춘계와 하계에 대해서는 이 해역의 광학특성을 반영한 알고리즘을 사용하여 MODIS Aqua 해색 위성 관측 자료로부터 표층 해수의 POC 함량을 추정할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

SeaWiFS자료를 Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index(MNDCI) 알고리즘을 이용하여 추정된 particulate organic carbon(POC)는 장강에서 유입된 담수의 영향을 받는 동중국해에서 시/공간적 해양환경 변화를 조사하는데 사용했다. 10년 평균한 POC 농도는 (1997년-2007년) 뚜렷한 계절적 변화를 보인다. POC 경년 변화는 전체 지역 평균값과 표준편차를 이용하여 세 개의 지역으로 나누어 평균한 결과에서 1998년 이후 꾸준한 감소를 보이는 장강과는 달리 감소되는 경향이 관측되지 않았다. 자세한 POC 시/공간적인 변화를 관측하기 위하여, 2000년부터 2007년까지 여름철 (6월-9월) 자료를 선정하여 empirical orthogonal function(EOF) 분석을 실시하였다. 첫 번째 성분은 장강으로부터 유입되는 담수의 영향으로 공간적인 변화가 이루어졌다. 두 번째 성분은 장강의 유출량과는 약한 상관관계를 보이고, 공간적으로 남-북 방향의 변화가 관측되었다. 2000년부터 2003년까지 상대적으로 높은 POC 분포는 연구지역 남쪽 부분에서 나타난다. 2004년부터 2007년까지 이런 변화는 연구지역 북쪽 부분에서 관측되었다. 장기적인 변화는 방류량의 감소에 의한 영향보다는 공간적인 변화에 기인한 것으로 사료되며, 이는 현장 관측자료에서 유사한 결과를 보였다.

지난 수십년 간 퇴적물 트랩은 해양 유기물과 관련된 생물학적 입자들의 수직적 이동인 생물학적 탄소 펌프(BCP: Biological Carbon Pump)를 이해하는 데 중요한 도구들 중 하나로 사용되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 퇴적물 트랩을 이용한 해양 심층의 탄소 순환 연구 방법과 여러 해역에서의 연구 현황, 그리고 그 중요성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 한편 최근의 연구 중 몇몇은 심층으로 이동된 침강 입자유기탄소(POC: Particulate Organic Carbon)가 이전에 알려졌던 것 보다 더 복잡한 형태이고, 시공간적으로 다양한 기원을 가지고 있음을 밝혔다. 이 논문에서는 특히 침강 입자 중 재부유 퇴적물에 관해 연구한 최신 논문들을 정리하였다. 유기 추적자로 사용한 방사성탄소동위원소(¹⁴C)와 무기적 추적자(Al)를 해양 입자유기탄소 순환을 이해하고 재부유 퇴적물의 중요성을 파악하는 데 있어 어떻게 활용할 수 있을지 기술하였으며, 특히MICADAS (Mini radioCarbon Dating Systems)를 이용한 방사성탄소동위원소 연구의 중요성을 강조하였다.
