In situ particle size spectra are obtained from two sequent cruises in order to evaluate the physical consequences of suspended particulate matters caused by episodic storm runoff from the Santa Ana River watershed, an urbanized coastal watershed. Suspended particles from various sources including surface runoff, near-bed resuspension, and phytoplankton are identified in empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and an entropy-based parameterization (Shannon entropy). The first EOF mode is associated with high turbidity and fine particles as indicated by the elevated beam attenuation near the Santa Ana River and Newport Bay outlets, and the second EOF mode explains the suspended sediment dispersal and particle coarsening at the near-surface plume. Chlorophyll particles are also distinguished by negative magnitudes of the first EOF mode, which is supported by the relationship between fluorescence and beam attenuation. The integrated observation between the first EOF mode and the Shannon entropy index accentuates the characteristics of two different structures and/or sources of sediment particles; the near-surface plumes are originated from runoff water outflow, while the near-bottom particles are resuspended due to increased wave heights or mobilizing bottom turbidity currents. In a coastal pollution context, these methods may offer useful means of characterizing particle-associated pollutants for purposes of source tracking and environmental interpretation.

저질의 부유 현상이 일련의 쇄파라고 하는 파동 현상에 어떠한 형태로 연동하는가를 면밀히 조사하기 위하여 현지해안의 쇄파대내에 주 관측지점을 설치하고 부유사 농도와 유속, 수위변동 등의 관련 파랑 제원을 계측하였다. 분석을 위해 수위변동, 유속변동치의 부유사 농도에 대한 상관관계를 조사하였으며, 상관이 탁월한 주기대에 대한 ensemble 평균 분석으로 유속 및 수위변동의 위상에 따른 부유사 농도의 변화와의 관계를 명백히 하여 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 1) 부유사의 농도 변동은 유속 및 수위변동의 에너지가 가장 큰 장주기 성분(100s)에 있어서 보다 오히려, 관측지점이 절(node)이 되는 1차mode의 장주기중복파(60s) 및 배(anti-node)가 되는 2차 mode의 중복파(30s)의 주기성분에서 상관이 높았으며, 2)또한, 1차 mode의 장주기중복파의 유속 성분이 해안으로 향하여 가속하는 위상 즉, 수면 경사가 상대적으로 해안선측보다 외해측이 높은 위상에서 부유사 농도가 가장 높아짐을 명백히 하였다.

As a preliminary study on the sediment flux, concentrations of suspended particulate matter and current speeds were measured at three inlets of Gwangyang Bay during one tidal cycle of a spring tide of March 2003. The suspended sediment flux rate $(g/m^{2}/s)$ at the mouth of Seomjin River (St. K1) was observed to be higher throughout surface layer during ebb tide $(14.3\;g/m^{2}/s)$ and throughout near-bottom layer during the flood tide $(23.2\;g/m^{2}/s),$ resulting in a net upstream-ward transport of$0.9{\times}10^{3}kg/m$ during 13 period. At the inlet toward Yeosu Bay (St. K2), a relatively low rate ($(5.0-6.7\;g/m^{2}/s)$ of sediment flux occurred throughout the water column compared to St. K1, with a depth-integrated net transport of $5.6{\times}10^{3}kg/m$ toward the outer reaches of Gwangyang Bay inlet. At St. K3 located at Gwangyang Bay-side of Noryang Strait, the outward flux toward the Jinju Bay was observed to be dominant during the flood tide $(16.2-23.2\;g/m^{2}/s)$, especially through the mid and near bottom layer, compared to the inward flux throughout the whole water column during the ebb tide $(13.1-19.7\;g/m^{2}/s).$ The net transport at St. K3 was calculated to be $4.0{\times}10^{3}kg/m$ toward the outside of Gwangyang Bay. The outward net transport of suspended sediment at all three inlets seems to be consistent with a trend of bottom sediment texture, which suggests a net movement of sediment from a relatively coarse and poorly sorted inner-bay toward a relatively fine and better sorted outer-bay environment.

Absorption coefficient per mass unit of particles, specific absorption coefficient, is one of main parameters in developing algorithms for ocean color remote sensing. Specific absorption coefficient of chlorophyll (a$^*_{ph}$) and suspended sediment (SS) were analyzed by "wet filter technique" and "Kishino method" for data sets observed in the Yellow and Mediterranean Seas. A new data-recovering method for the filter technique was also developed using spectrum slopes. This method recovered the baseline of spectrum that was often missed in the Kishino method. High a$^*_{ph}$($\lambda$) values in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea and low values in the Yellow Sea were observed, spanning over the range of 0.02 to 0.12 $m^2$/mg, at the chlorophyll maximum absorption wavelength 440nm. The empirical relationship between a$^*_{ph}$ and chlorophyll concentration was found to fit a power function, which was slightly different from that proposed by Bricaud et ai. (1995). Absorption specific coefficients for suspended sediment (a$^*_{SS}$) didn't show any relationship with concentrations of suspended sediment. However, the average value of a$^*_{SS}$ at 440nm was close to the specific absorption coefficient of soil (loess) measured by Ahn (1990). The more-pronounced variability of a$^*_{SS}$ than a$^*_{ph}$ perhaps can explain more wide range of size-distribution for SS, which were determined by their specific gravity and agitation of water mass in the sea surface.

The evolution of intricate and striking patterns of suspended sediments (SS), which are created by certain physical dynamics in the East China and Yellow Seas, has been investigated using satellite ocean color imageries and vertical profiles of particle attenuation and backscattering coefficients. The structure of these patterns can reveal a great deal about the process underlying their formation. Sea surface temperature (SST) analyzed from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) thermal infrared data were used to elucidate the physical factors responsible for the evolution of suspended sediment patterns in the East China Sea. The concomitant patterns of suspended sediments were tracked from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) ocean color data. The detailed examination about these patterns gave birth to the definition of the evolution of suspended sediments (SS) into four stages: (1) Youth or Infant stage, (2) Younger stage, (3) Mature stage, and (4) Old stage. We describe about the three directional forces of the tidal currents, ocean warm currents and estuarine circulations that lead to occurrence of various stages of the evolution of suspended sediments that increase turbidity at high levels through out the water column of the inner and outer shelf areas during September to April. The occurrence of these four stages could be repeatedly observed. In contrast, vertical profiles of the particle attenuation ($c_{p}$) and backscattering ($b_{bp}$) coefficients displayed obvious patterns of the propagation of suspended sediment plume from the southwestern coastal sea that leads to eventual collision with the massive sediment plume originating from the Yangtze banks of the East China Sea.

The objective of this study was to investigate the basic relationships between spectral reflectance and varying concentrations of sediment in surface waters. An experimental method for determining suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the water by use of a spectroradiometer above the water surface, in visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, is applied. The main advantage of the method is the direct comparison of spectral reflectance and the SSC, but it requires an accurate knowledge of the water body and sediment. Therefore numerous spectroradiometric measurements are carried out in situ measurements, for SSC, ranging from zero to 100 percentage and two types of sediment applied in the water tank. The results indicate that the suspended sediment causes increasing spectral reflectance response in waters. We observed that spectral reflectance increases with SSC, first at the lower wavelengths (430-480 nm), then in the middle wavelengths (570-700 nm), and finally, in the NIR domain (800-820 nm); a characteristic maximum reflectance appears at 400-670 nm. Relationships between the wavelength, integral value, and the SSC were evaluated on the basis of the regression analysis. The regression curve for the relation between the wavelength, integral value, and the SSC were determined ($R^2$>0.98). Finally, the specular wavelength can be estimated to recognize the sediment and to improve SC estimation accuracy in the water.

본 연구는 일점 측정을 토대로 연직 유사 농도 계산시 예상되는 입력 자료의 부정확함 때문에 발생하는 오류의 크기를 연구하였다. 오류 가능성이 있는 원인인 채취기의 위치, 수면 및 하상고도, 침강 속도, $\beta$ 와$\kappa$ 값은 미국 리오그란데 강으로부터 얻는 자료를 사용하여 비교, 검증되었다. 그 결과 일점 부유사 채취를 토대로 간편한 유사 농도식과 속도 분포식을 사용하여 평균 유사 농도를 산정할 수 있었다. 이 계산 중에서 가장 불확실한 점은 부유사의 연직 유사 분포식에서 Rouse수인 z였다.

In order to measure in-situ suspended particle size, volume concentration of suspended particulate matter and current speed, mooring observation was performed at the Gwangyang Bay by using of an optical instrument, 'LISST-100' and an acoustic instrument, 'ADV'(St. S1). And the sediment flux was obtained based on the concentration of suspended particulate matter and current speeds measured at three lines of Gwangyang Bay during ebb and flood tide of August 2006. To investigate the spatial variation of suspended particulate matter, profiling observations were measured difference echo intensity and beam attenuation coefficient by using of ADCP and Transmissometer (Line A, B, C). The suspended sediment flux rate at the mouth of Gwangyang Bay was observed to be higher during asymmetrical than symmetrical of current speeds. The flux of suspended particulate matter concentration and current speeds were transported to southeastern direction of surface layer and northwestern direction of bottom layer at the western area at line A of Gwangyang Bay. Small suspended particles have been found to increase attenuation and transmission more efficiently than similar large particles using acoustic intensity (ADV/ADCP) or optical transmit coefficient (LISST-100/Transmissometer). The application and problems as using optical or acoustic instruments will be detected for use in time varying calibrations to account for non-negligible changes in complex environments in situ particle dynamics are poorly understood.

큰 潮差 지역인 금강 鹽河口의 潮流과 江水流入에 의한 순환과 이에 따른 부유물질의 이동을 알아보기 위해 1990년부터 1992년까지 세 정점에서 潮流 및 浮游퇴적물질 농도를 관측하였다. 이 염하구의 가장 외해쪽 관측점에서는 漲潮流 와 落潮流의 수직 구조는 거의 대칭형을 나타내고 있다. 또, 남측 수로에서는 漲 潮流가 全水層을 통해서 우세하나 북측 수로에서는 상층과 저층에서는 落潮流가 우세하고 중층에서는 漲潮流가 우세하였다. 남측 수로에서의 최대유속은 漲潮流 시에 중층에서 174 cm/s이었으며, 북측 수로의 최대 유속도 漲潮流시 중층에서 148 cm/s로 기록되었다. 반면에 표층과 저층에서는 최대유속 110.6 cm/s의 강한 유속이 落潮時에, 92.1 cm/s이 漲潮시에 각각 기록되었다. Hansen and Rattray 의 scheme에 의하면 금강 鹽河口는 Type 3로 분류될 수 있다. 즉 이 鹽河口의 수층은 漲潮流에 의해서 成層化하고 高潮後의 落潮流는 수층간의 밀도차를 줄여 서 亂流化한다. 이곳의 저층 흐름은 일반적으로 난류성이다. 한 조석 週期당 부유 물질의 이동량은 潮差와 하천유량에 달려있다고 생각된다. 관측기간중 최대의 부 유물질 이동은 하천유량이 최소였던 1991년 5월중 남측 수로에서의 측정치에서 초당 20.61톤으로 나타났으며, 최소 이동은 최소 潮差 기간인 1992년 7월에 북측 수로에서 초당 0.65톤으로 나타났다. 본 연구해역의 강한 해저전단속도는 창조류 기간 동안에 해저퇴적물을 침식시키며, 상대적으로 긴 落潮 기간은 이들 부유퇴적 물을 외해쪽으로 운반시키고 있다. 정상적인 강수 유입 조건하에서는 대부분의 부유물질이 남측 수로를 통해서 운반되나 강수의 유입이 많아지는 경우에는 오히 려 북측 수로를 통한 부유물질의 이동이 더 크다.
