The relations between tidal fluctuation and freshwater discharge are stuied dy use of observed data in the estuarine region of the Nagdong Rivre. Damping modulus which represents the resistance to propagation of tidal wave is estimated, and it is verified that when the fresh water discharge is lower than 300 m/sec., the elevation of mean-water-level at Gupo is the same as mean sea-water-level.

$^{14}C$ age dating by AMS (accelerator mass spectrometry) technique was performed on twenty five small sized fossil shells and one peat taken from the sixteen piston cores in the southern and southeastern Korean Sea. AMS technique is available to date only a few milligram of amorphous carbons compare than conventional dating technique. It is described in detail of sample pre-treatment and experimental, and applied to the reconstruction of the sea level changes since the late Pleistocene in the Korean Sea. Dated age ranges from 520$\pm$100 to older than 33,500 years. Sedimentary facies in the study area represents a different environmental set which is affected by sea level fluctuation since the late Pleistocene.

Si-Hwa tidal power station is using difference of the ebb and flow. The active power is dependent on up and down sea water level but if it is drastically changed because of a typhoon or waves the generator terminal voltage and active power is changed that is a chief cause of power station unstability. Therefore this paper arrange a present state of power or frequency fluctuation and generator terminal phase difference in case of occurrence a drastic change of sea water level.

This study analyzes the interannual periodicity by using the statistical techniques of probability, spectral analysis, empirical orthogonal function analysis (EOF), and coherency analysis. The data base for this study is the time series of 1971-1985 temperature, salinity in the southern waters of the East Sea, 1960-1986 mean sea level at Pusan and Izuhara, and 1960-1986 sea level atmospheric pressure at Pusan. The appearances of anomalous temperatures higher and lower than 15-year mean monthly average with one standard deviation are about 30% of total data. The significant interannual period for temperature, salinity and sea level fluctuation is 36.6, and 23.3 months. The empirical orthogonal function analyses show that the 1st mode of the EOFs is responsible for more than 90% of total variance of the surface temperature variations, while in near-bottom waters, the relative importance of the higher EOF modes is much greater explaining more than 30% of total variance. The coherency between normalized temperatures and salinities is significant at the interannual period of 36.6 and 21.3 months.

This paper presents a study of geotechnical treatment for artesian pressure after extensive investigation was performed on the distribution and characteristics of artesian condition which exists at Yangsan/Mulgeurn site. The result of analysis indicates that the artesian pressure seems to be up to 2.9M above the existing ground surface, originating from the higher ground water recharging sources in the surrounding hills and mountains. There is no harmful effect after the site development since the height of embankment is more than 4M above the existing ground surface.

The mass transport is very complicated at the area which has the macro tide and complex geometry such as Gyeonggi bay. Especially, the long period current has a strong influence on the estuarine ecosystem and the long-term distribution of substances. The long period current is caused by several external forcing, whose unique characteristic varies spatially and temporally. The variation characteristics of long period current is analysed and its generation mechanism is studied. The tidal nonlinear constituents such as overtide and compound tide are generated due to nonlinear interaction and it causes mean sea level setup. The tidal wave propagating up into estuary is transformed rapidly by decrease of cross-sectional area and depth. Therefore the mean sea level is getting rise toward upriver. The high and low tide level is similar between down-river(Incheon) and up-river(Ganghwa) during neap tide when the tidal deformation is decreased. The tidal phase difference between two tidal stations causes a periodic fluctuation of sea level difference. The low water level of Ganghwa station during spring tide does not descend under EL(-)2.5 m, but the low water level of Incheon fall down under EL(-)4.0 m. The variation of tidal range and its sea level are increased during spring tide. It is found that the long period current $M_{sf}$ is quite similar to that of sea level difference between the two tidal stations. It means that the sea surface inclination caused by the spatial difference of tidal deformation is important forcing for the generation of long period current.

Overfishing capacity has become a global issue due to over-exploitation of fisheries resources, which result from excessive fishing intensity since the 1980s. In the case of Korea, the fishing effort has been quantified and used as an quantified index of fishing intensity. Fisheries resources of coastal fisheries in the Korean waters of the East Sea tend to decrease productivity due to deterioration in the quality of ecosystem, which result from the excessive overfishing activities according to the development of fishing gear and engine performance of vessels. In order to manage sustainable and reasonable fisheries resources, it is important to understand the fluctuation of biomass and predict the future biomass. Therefore, in this study, we forecasted biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea for the next two decades (2017~2036) according to the changes in fishing intensity using four fishing effort scenarios; $f_{current}$, $f_{PY}$, $0.5{\times}f_{current}$ and $1.5{\times}f_{current}$. For forecasting biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea, parameters such as exploitable carrying capacity (ECC), intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) and catchability (q) estimated by maximum entropy (ME) model was utilized and logistic function was used. In addition, coefficient of variation (CV) by the Jackknife re-sampling method was used for estimation of coefficient of variation about exploitable carrying capacity ($CV_{ECC}$). As a result, future biomass can be fluctuated below the $B_{PY}$ level when the current level of fishing effort in 2016 maintains. The results of this study are expected to be utilized as useful data to suggest direction of establishment of fisheries resources management plan for sustainable use of fisheries resources in the future.

Biomass distribution of zooplankton showed its lowest level in June in the Cheju Strait, and the highest one was noticed in November when the secondary productivity is considered high. The highest biomass of zooplankton appeared in the sea areas of Sta. 14 and 11 respectively with relation to oceanographic conditions and wet weight of biomass. The positions were the center part of the Cheju Strait, while the sea area of the South Sea of Korea and the northern coast of Cheju Island showed relatively low biomass distribution. The characteristic of the sea area where biomass was densely distributed was it was in patch shape. Meanwhile, biomass distribution was higher in the northern sea area of Cheju Island than In the coastal sea of the South Sea of Korea. It shows formation of hairtail fishing grounds is closely related to biomass distribution in the Cheju Strait. In addition, high biomass is displayed in the center part of the saddle shaped ocean, a boundary of the heterogeneous water mass as a feature of fall oceanographic condition. Good fishing grounds of a hairtail In the Cheju Strait were formed outside of the sea area that showed patch-shaped high biomass distribution.

This study aims to identify the degree of safety when mariners take their actions in several different situations. We have carried out many experiments in order to observe mariners' behavior, and then measured the safety level that is based on their actions to avoid dangerous collision situations. One of the most important actions that mariners have to take, either as their daily routine or when they are in a collision situation and then want to avoid that situation is the lookout. In this paper, behaviors on the lookout have been defined as a standard sequence of three steps that are "time of first detection", "time of recognition as risky vessel" and "time of starting avoiding action", and the suitability and applicability of the definition have been shown. And also we propose the risk assessment on the collision and the recommendation for reducing the collision at sea. Some analyzing results and the application of the results are reported. The sequence of lookout is also understood. By combining these knowledge and some systematic studies, we propose the risk assessment on the collision and the recommendation for reducing the collision at sea.

The measurement of the Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) for the underwater vehicle should consider both the acoustic interference due to the surface reflection and the calculation of the Closet Point of Approach (CPA). In this paper, I tried to analyze the underwater vehicle's URN using the Lloyd's mirror effect. First, the theoretical Lloyd's mirror pattern was compared with the sea trial result, and the sea trial results corresponded well with the theoretical predicted pattern. And then the CPA distance could be estimated by the Lloyd's mirror pattern. As a results, acoustic source level shows the spectral fluctuation due to the acoustic interference of the Lloyd's mirror effect.
