Marine organisms in Antarctica live in an environment which exhibits variability in physical processes over a wide range of temporal scales, from seconds to millennia. This time scale tends to be correlated with the spatial scale over which a given process operates, though this relationship is influenced by biology. The way organisms respond to variability in the physical environment depends on the time-scale of that variability in relation to life-span. Short-term variations are perceived largely as noise and probably have little direct impact on ecology. Of much greater importance to organisms in Antarctica are seasonal and decadal variations. Although seasonality has long been recognised as a key feature of polar environments, the realization that decadal scale variability is important is relatively recent. Long-term change has always been a feature of polar environments and may be a key factor in the evolution of the communities we see today.

Ground resistance is very important element in distribution line of multi-grounded system. Therefore, use several kind of ground electrode materials to get ground resistance. In this study, examine about characteristics of seasonal variations of ground resistance by several kind of ground electrode material that is used to ground electrode of distribution line, and compares and evaluated characteristics of each ground electrode material.

The seasonal variations of surface current patterns in the Japan Sea were drawn out from the results of drift bottle experiments, current measurements and hydrographic observations during 1979∼1980. The North Korean Cold Current(NKCC) and the East Korean Warm Current(EKWC) were common features of circulation in the eastern sea of Korea. The intrusion of NKCC along the Korean coast became strong in summer(average velocity of 47.4cm/sec off Jumunjin and 23.4cm/sec near Jugbyeon) when the Tsushima Current was strong. But there was no indication of the NKCC in November 1979. Dynamic topography(August & November 1979) and satellite picture(November 1979) seemed to show the topographic steering of EKWC beginning off Janggigab. Drift bottles arrived at the Japaness coast were affected significantly by the strong Tsushima Current in summer and by the predominant northwesterlies in winter instead of weak current.

The atmospheric deposition flux was measured with dustfall from July of 1997 to July of 1998 at nine sampling sites located in Tae-an peninsula to examine the seasonal variations. The results showed that the average dry deposition was higher in spring than the other seasons. Thus, it is considered that yellow sand is one major source of the additional deposition flux in spring. There also appeared the higher measurement of deposition at the sites nearby road (like Hagampo, Bangali and Sinduri) in summer, and it is assumed that the heavy traffic caused by summer visitors was the main factor of that. For more accurate study, the qualitiative analysis should be taken on the deposited materials.

Physiological changes in hibernating animals (Manchurian Chipmunk and Hamster) were studied during various phases of the hibernation. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Rectal temperature was declined markedly during hibernation, whereas it remained constant even in exposure of the animals to 0 C environment if the animals were not prepared for hibernation. As body temperature was lowered, heart rate was also markedly reduced as well as respiration and blood pressure. 2. The electrical activity recorded from cortical structure was characterized by replacement of fast wave activity by slow wave activity as body temperature was lowered and became flat at body temperature below 20C. 3. Blood glucose level showed no clear seasonal variations. However, the glycogen contents of the liver were markedly greater during the cold seasons than during the warm seasons. 4. Blood levels of insulin showed no clear seasonal variations.
