To study the intruded phenomena of North Pacific Ocean around Boso peninsular, water property distribution in the adjacent seas to Japan is studied using the hydrographic data obtained by Japan Maritime Agency and Japan Fisheries Agency from 1973 to 1996, The scattering of water type in T-5 diagram is relatively small in the Kuroshio Region. Both the envelopes of saline side and of fresh side of the scattered data points shifts gradually from saline side to fresh side as the observation Line moves from southwest to northeast. In mixed water region, the scattering of water type increases rapidly as the observation line moves north; the envelope of fresh cold side moves towards fresh cold side much faster than that of saline side. This suggests that the water does not advect along the salinity minimum layer, but the salinity minimum layer can be understood as a boundary of two different waters aligned vertically, We defined the typical water masses as the Oyashio Water and the Kuroshio Water. The water mass below the salinity minimum layer may be created by isopycnal mixing of these two water masses with a fixed mixing rate. While the water mass above the salinity minimum cannot be created simply by isopycnal mixing. The salinity minimum layer may be eroded from upper side due to active minxing processes in the surface layer, while the water of the salinity minimum layer moves gradually southward. This appears to give an explanation why the thermosteric anomaly value at salinity minimun decereases towards south.

1997년 2월부터 1998년 7월까지 총 33회에 걸쳐 시화호내 11개 정점에서 장기간 관측한 수온, 염분 자료를 이용하여 배수갑문운용에 따른 시화호의 물성변화를 파악하였다. 배수갑문을 통한 해수유통이 없었던 1997년 3월부터 1997년 6월까지 시화호내의 염분은 15psu 이하로 나타났으며, 약 11m 수심을 경계로 염분에 의한 강한 성층이 관측되었다. 배수갑문을 통한 해수유입이 시작된 1997년 7월에는 태양복사열의 증가로 표층수온이 급격히 상승하여 표층과 저층의 수온차가 약 10^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 나타났으며, 1997년 10월{\sim}$12월에는 표층에 비해 저층 수온이 상대적으로 높은 수온역전현상이 발생하였다. 1997년7월 배수갑문 개폐시기를 전 ${\cdot}$ 후로 배수갑문 내측에 위치한 정점에서 장기간 수온, 염분, 유속 및 유향을 조사한 결과, 해수유입시 수온과 염분이 대칭적인 분포를 나타내었으며, 이는 외해로부터 해수 유입시마다 저온, 고염의 해수가 시화호 내로 유입되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 1998년 1월 이후에는 지속적인 배수갑문 개폐의 영향으로 시화호의 염분이 30psu 이상으로 해수화되었으며, 배수갑문 개폐 이전에 비해 성층이 크게 약화된 것으로 나타났다.

1992년부터 1993년까지 수행된 득량만의 양식생산성 향상을 위한 종합적 해양조사의 일환으로 수온과 염분 관측을 실시한 결과 중에서 하계의 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 두 해에 여름철의 기상조건은 서로 대조적이었는데 1992년에는 비가 적고 맑은 날이 많았던데 비해 1993년에는 흐린 날이 많고 강수량 또한 많아 이상저온 현상이 심했다. 이러한 기상의 영향은 만내의 수온과 염분의 분포에 직접적으로 영향을 주었다. 바람이 대체로 약한 여름에는 태양복사에 의한 열 공급과 조류에 의한 연직혼합 및 해수순환에 의한 열 수송에 의해서 수온분포가 결정되는데, 염분분포에는 열 공급 대신에 강수에 의한 담수의 공급이 중요해진다. 서부와 북동부의 천해역이 고온저염수가 분포하여 입구로부터 상류 방향으로 수온은 증가하고 염분이 감소하는 1992년과는 달리 1993년에는 등온선과 등염선이 만의 종축과 평행한 경향이 강하여 많은 강수량과 함께 복사열의 공급이 감소 한데다가 만의 종축 방향으로 흐르는 조류와 항류의 영향이 상대적으로 증가된 결과로 해석된다. 한편, 연직분포에 있어서는 조류가 강한 대조기에는 성층이 파괴되며 소조기에는 성층이 발달하는 현상을 보여주었다.

This study analyzed the relationship between distribution of Bolboschoenus planiculmis which is main food source of swans (national monument species) with environmental factors, discharge, rainfall, and salinity in Eulsuk-do from 2020 to 2023. The distribution area of B. planiculmis in Eulsuk tidal flat was 103,672m² in 2020, 95,240 m² in 2021, 88,163 m² in 2022, and 110,879 m² in 2023, and represents a sharp decrease compared to the 400,925 m² area recorded in 2004. From 2020 to 2023, the growth densities of B. planiculmis were 243.6±12.5 m^-2, 135.45±7.38 m^-2, 51.10±2.54 m^-2, and 238.20±16.36 m^-2, respectively, and the biomass was 199.89±28.01 gDW m^-2, 18.57±5.12 gDW m^-2, 6.55±1.12 gDW m^-2, and 153.53±25.43 gDW m^-2 in 2020, 2023, 2021, and 2022, respectively. Based on discharge during May~July, which affects plant growth, the left gate discharge of the estuary barrage from 2020 to 2023 was 62,322 m³ sec^-1, 33,329 m³ sec^-1, 6,810 m³ sec^-1, and 93,641 m³ sec^-1, respectively; rainfall was 1,136 mm, 799 mm, 297 mm, and 993 mm, respectively; and average salinity was 14.7±9.4 psu, 21.1±4.7 psu, 26.1±2.7 psu, and 14.5±11.1 psu, respectively. In 2022, cumulative rainfall (978 mm, about 70% of the 30-year average) and discharge (43,226 m³ sec^-1) decreased sharply, resulting in the highest mean salinity (25.46 psu), and the distribution area, density, and biomass of the B. planiculmis decreased sharply. In 2023, there was a rise in discharge with an increase in rainfall, leading to a decrease in salinity. Consequently, this environmental change facilitated the recovery of B. planiculmis growth.

Long-term trends and distribution patterns of water quality were investigated in the Asan coastal areas of Yellow Sea, Korea from 1975 to 2005. Water samples were collected at 3 stations and physicochemical parameters were analyzed including water temperature, salinity, suspended solids(SS), chemical oxygen demand(COD), dissolved oxygen(DO) and nutrients. Spatial distribution patterns were not clear among stations but the seasonal variations were distinct except COD, SS and nitrate. The trend analysis by principal component analysis(PCA) during twenty years revealed the significant variations in water quality in the study area, Annual water qualities were clearly discriminated into 4 clusters by PCA; year cluster 1988-1991, 1994-1997, and 1992-1993/1998-2005. By this multi-variate analysis we can summarize the annual trends as the followings; salinity, suspended solids and dissolved oxygen tended to increase from late 1980's, increased pH and COD from 1992, and decreased salinity and increased nitrogen and COD from 1990 due to the runoff frow agricultural lands causing eutrophication.

In order to estimate the nutrient flux of the Seomjin River into the coastal waters of South Sea, and to understand the estuarine reactions during mixing between river water and seawater, we collected surface water along the salinity gradient in the Seomjin River estuary from Mar. 1999 to Apr. 2001. We found that nitrate and silicate were delivered by fluvial input, while phosphate was, supplied from disposed wastes in the Gwangyang Bay. Mean annual flux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphate and silicate into the Gwangyang Bay was estimated 10.9 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(4,820 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 0.07 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(68 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 13.3 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(11,747 tonnesㆍy$^{-1}$), respectively. An evident removal of phosphate, silicate and ammonium at the mid-salinity zone during the dry season was attributed to the active uptake of phytoplankton, and consequently nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was low. Whereas, during the flood season in summer, conservative or additional distribution of the nutrients was observed in the estuary. As a rsult nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was maintained high. High concentrations of chlorophyll a and the active removal of nutrient during the dry season at the mid-salinity zone suggest that nutrient distribution in the Seomjin River estuary was mainly controlled by biological processes and nutrient fluxes into the Gwangyang Bay might be significantly modified of by the primary production.

Two-level numerical models are formulated to predict the flow pattern, SS(suspended solids) distribution and the behavior of discharged fresh water in estuary, and are applied to the Suyoung River estuary in Pusan, Korea. To verify the application of the models, field observations of tidal current, salinity and 55 were performed during the period of spring tide. Computed upper level velocities by two-level model are in better agreement with observed values than single model. Apart from the magnitude of the velocities, the predicted flow fields at upper level are similar to those obtained at lower level. Upper level velocities in river channel during ebb spring tide are about 2 times stronger than those during flood spring tide due to the discharging flow rate from the Suyoung River. Two-level model results on the salinity and 55 distribution at upper level are compared with the observed ones at the surface. Computed salinity distributions are in good agreement with the observed values, but computed 55 distributions show $6{\~}10$ ppm higher values than the observed ones.

The distribution and abundance of euphausiids were investigated in Korean waters in 2016. Euphausiids were sampled with a Bongo net. A CTD (Sea Bird Electronics 9 plus) measured the water temperature and salinity while sampling. Mean water temperature ranged from 4.2-31.0℃. The highest temperatures occur in September and lowest temperatures in February. The mean water salinity ranged from 27.9-34.8 psu, with the highest salinities in March and lowest in September. Euphausiid species in group W consisted of four species. Among the euphausiid species, Euphausia pacifica was the dominant species with peak densities in September. The E. pacifica from group W was distributed in the bottom cold water during summer when a thermocline was formed. Five euphausiid species occurred in group S. E. pacifica and E. nana were the dominant species. In group S, E. nana was located in the warm and saline Tsushima Warm Current, a branch of the influential Kuroshio Current. Five euphausiid species occurred in group E. E. pacifica and T. longipes were the dominant species. In group E, E. pacifica and T. longipes were distributed in the deep and cold waters, these species prefer low water temperatures and perform vertical migration. The distribution of euphausiids in Korean waters were highly influenced by mass water characteristics, such as temperature and salinity.
