This study is conducted to examine the data of climate or environmental change in the northeastern Asia during the last glacial maximum. A remarkable feature of the 18,000 BP biome reconstructions for China is the mid-latitude extention of steppe and desert biomes to the modem eastern coast. Terrestrial deposits of glacial maximum age from the northern part of Yellow Sea suggest that this region of the continental shelf was occupied by desert and steppe vegetation. And the shift from temperate forest to steppe and desert implies conditions very much drier than present in eastern Asia. Dry conditions might be explained by a strong winter monsoon and/or a weak summer monsoon. A very strong depression of winter temperatures at LGM. has in the center of continent has influenced in northeast Asia similarly. The vegetation of Hokkaido at LGM was subarctic thin forest distributed on the northern area of middle Honshu and cool and temperate mixed forest at southern area of middle Honshu in Japan. The vegetation landscape of mountain- and East coast region of Korea was composed of herbaceous plants with sparse arctic or subarctic trees. The climate of yellow sea surface and west region of Korea was much drier and temperate steppe landscape was extended broadly. It is supposed that a temperate desert appeared on the west coast area of Pyeongan-Do and Cheolla-Do of Korea. The reconstruction of year-round conditions much colder than today right across China, Korea and Japan is consistent with biome reconstruction at the LGM.

Many large dams have been constructed for water supply, irrigation, flood control and hydropower in Korea for the last century. Meanwhile, recent studies indicated that the artificial reservoirs impounded by these dams are major sources of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to the atmosphere and relevant to global budget of green house gases. However, limited information is available on the seasonal variations of CO₂ evasion from the reservoirs located in the temperate monsoon regions including Korea. The objectives of this study were to estimate daily Net Atmospheric Flux (NAF) of CO₂ in Daecheong Reservoir located in Geum River basin of Korea, and analyze the influencing parameters that characterize the variation of NAF. Daily pH and alkalinity (Alk) data collected in wet year (2012) and dry year (2013) were used for estimating the NAFs in the reservoir. The dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was computed using the pH and Alk measurements supposing an equilibrium state among the carbonate species. The results showed seasonal variations of NAF; negative NAFs from May to October when the primary production of the reservoir increased with water temperature increase, while positive NAF for the rest of the period. Overall the reservoir acted as sources of CO₂ to the atmosphere. The estimated NAFs were 2,590 and 771 mg CO₂ m^-2d^-1 in 2012 and 2013, respectively, indicating that the NAFs vary a large extent for different hydrological years. Statistical analysis indicated that the NAFs are negatively correlated to pH, water temperature, and Chl-a concentration of the reservoir.

본 연구는 몬순지역의 대형호인 소양호를 대상으로 동물플랑크톤의 종 조성과 생물량을 조사하였으며, 군집의 계절천이를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한, PEG 모델과 몬순지역에서 다른 호수와의 동물플랑크톤 계절천이를 비교하여 고찰하였다. 조사기간 동안 소양호 유역의 강수량은 $705{\sim}1,779mm\;yr^{-1}$의 큰 변동을 보였으며, 70% 이상이 6~9월에 집중되는 것으로 나타났다. 소양호의 수질은 연도별 변화보다 계절적 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 몬순기후로 인한 여름철 홍수기 탁수유입이 가장 중요한 환경요인으로 작용하였다. 소양호에서 동물플랑크톤 종 조성의 계절천이는 연도별로 차이는 있지만, 매년 두 시기에 거쳐 뚜렷한 경향을 보였다. 봄 시기에는 소형 동물플랑크톤이 우점하였으며, 여름과 가을 시기에는 크기가 큰 지각류와 요각류가 우점하였다. 동물플랑크톤의 생물량은 집중강우 이후 9월에 최대를 보였으며, Chl. a 농도와 유사한 계절변동을 보였다(r=0.45). 소양호에서 동물플랑크톤의 생물량 증가는 강우 시 유입된 영양염과 유기물에 의한 미생물, 식물플랑크톤 등 먹이유용성 증가에 따른 microbial loop와 bottom-up 효과로 판단된다. 결과적으로, 몬순지역의 대형호인 소양호 동물플랑크톤은 종별 계절천이는 PEG 모델을 따랐지만, 생물량의 계절천이는 온대호수뿐만 아니라 몬순지역의 호수와도 차이를 보였다. 이는 유역에서 유입된 다량의 유기물 등과 함께 소양호의 수심, 체류시간 등 수리학적 특성에 따른 영향으로 판단된다.

A two-dimensional (2D) reservoir hydrodynamics and water quality model, CE-QUAL-W2, is employed to simulate the hydrothermal behavior and density current regime in Andong Reservoir. Observed data used for model forcing and calibration includes: surface water level, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and suspended solids concentration. The model was calibrated to the year of 2003 and verified with continuous run from 2000 till 2004. Without major adjustments, the model accurately simulated surface water levels including the events of large storm. Deep-water reservoirs, like Andong Reservoir, located in the Asian Monsoon region begin to stratify in summer and overturn in fall. This mixing pattern as well as the descending thermocline, onset and duration of stratification and timing of turnover phenomenon were well reproduced by the Andong Model. The temperature field and distinct thermocline are simulated to within $2^{\circ}C$ of observed data. The model performed well in simulating not only the dissolved oxygen profiles but also the metalimnetic dissolved minima phenomenon, a common1y occurring phenomenon in deep reservoirs of temperate regions. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of model calibration for surface water elevation, temperature and dissolved oxygen were 0.0095 m, $1.82^{\circ}C$, and $1.13\;mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The turbid storm runoff, during the summer monsoon, formed an intermediate layer of about 15 m thickness, moved along the metalimnion until being finally discharged from the dam. This mode of transport of density current, a common characteristic of various other large reservoirs in the Asian summer monsoon region, was well tracked by the model.

팔당호에서 청수현상 발생은 지점별로 다른 양상을 보였으며, 발생시기는 3~12월로 연중 발생하는 것으로 나타났고, 주로 3~6월에 발생하였다. 청수기 발생빈도는 팔당댐앞, 경안천수역, 남한강수역, 북한강수역 순으로 나타났다. 청수현상 발생시 주요 요인인 투명도, 동물플랑크톤 현존량, Chl-a와 환경요인 상관분석 결과 수리·수문요인인 강우량, 체류시간은 투명도 및 탁도와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내 강우로 인한 체류시간의 변화가 청수현상을 좌우할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 투명도는 청수기를 야기하는 것으로 알려진 동물플랑크톤 중 지각류 현존량 및 점유율과 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 지각류 현존량 및 점유율은 수온과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내 봄철 수온의 상승에 따른 지각류의 발생이 청수현상 발생을 야기할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 수리조건이 정체형 호수와 다른 하천형의 호수에서는 청수현상이 결빙기 이후 봄철뿐만 아니라 동일한 수계 내에서도 지점별 특성에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 수체가 안정화될 시에 동물플랑크톤(지각류)의 증가, 식물플랑크톤 현존량 감소, 투명도가 증가하는 청수현상이 조건이 충족될 시 계절에 불문하고 연중 발생할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
