The momentum and kinetic turbulent energy carried by the wind to a stratified lake lead to basin-scale motions, which provide a major driving force for vertical and horizontal mixing. A three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model was applied to Lake Tahoe, located between California and Nevada, USA, to simulate the dominant basin-scale internal waves in the deep lake. The results demonstrated that the model well represents the temporal and vertical variations of water temperature that allows the internal waves to be energized correctly at the basin scale. Both the model and thermistor chain (TC) data identified the presence of Kelvin modes and Poincare mode internal waves. The lake was weakly stratified during the study period, and produced large amplitude (up to 60 m) of internal oscillations after several wind events and partial upwelling near the southwestern lake. The partial upwelling and followed coastal jets could be an important feature of basin-scale internal waves because they can cause re-suspension and horizontal transport of fine particles from nearshore to offshore. The internal wave dynamics can be also associated with the distributions of water quality variables such as dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the lake. Thus, the basin-scale internal waves and horizontal circulation processes need to be accurately modeled for the correct simulation of the dissolved and particulate contaminants, and biogeochemical processes in the lake.

여름 몬순 강우가 대조적이었던 1993년과 1994년의 동아시아 여름 몬순의 특성이 조사되 었다. 동아시아 지여에서의 몬순 특징을 조사하기 위해, GMS 구름양, 지표 조건인 해면 온도 그 리고 여름 강우량이 분석되었으며, 위도/경도 2도 격자의 5일 평균 GMS 상층 운량의 분석을 통 해 대류 활동의 자세한 이동과 지속성에 대한 1993년과 1994년의 특성이 비교되어 논의되었다. 몬순 구름의 이동과 발전에 대한 계절안 진동의 공간 및 시간 구조를 묘사하기 위해 20일의 창 의 크기로 구성된 확장.경험적 직교 함수 분석이 각 해에 대해 수행되었다. 또한 적도 대류체의 주기성을 찾기 위해 퓨리에 조화 분석이 각 해에 적용되었다. 계절안 진동은 61일과 15일 모드가 적도 및 아열대에서 가장 탁월하였다. 그러나 이 탁월 모드 들은 적도 서 태평양과 인도양에서 각 해마다 다르게 나타났다. 그러므로 대조적인 동아시아 몬 순 강우는 저위도 해역에서의 대류 활동의 계절안 진동 및 계절 변화의 상호 작용과 더 근원적으 로 관련되어 있을 것으로 본다.

The "GeoDrifter" is a newly-developed surface drifter with high temporal resolution. It is the first time that high-frequency drifters have been deployed in the East/Japan Sea. The purpose of this study is to introduce the phenomena experienced by these drifters flowing along with the Tsushima Current across the East/Japan Sea, focusing on high-frequency variability, and to discuss them in comparison with previous observations. The observed basin-scale circulation of the Tsushima Current generally coincides well with the known schematic circulation. The GeoDrifter trajectories also show inertial oscillations almost everywhere in the oceanic regions of the East/Japan Sea, strong semi-diurnal tidal currents in the western part of Korea Strait, diurnal currents much stronger than semi-diurnal currents in the upstream region of the Nearshore Branch off the Japanese coast, and many warm eddies in the Yamato Basin, all comparable to the observational results reported in the previous studies. An interesting point is that the semi-diurnal tidal currents undergo a great spatial variation in the western part of the Korea Strait. The observed features that cannot be explained are, among others, strong counter-clockwise motions with oscillating period about 51 hours appearing in the upstream region of the Nearshore Branch off the Japanese coast and the different tidal behaviors between upstream and downstream regions of the latter.

인구의 절대적 증가와 공업단지 등이 해안 지역에 편중되므로써 해안선 및 연안의 이용율이 급격히 증가하였으며 이러한 추세는 당분간 멈추지 않을 것으로 확신한다. 따라서 같은 강도를 갖는 재난이 닥친다고 하더라도 과거와 현재를 비교할 때 인적, 물적 피해는 훨씬 더 늘어날 수밖에 없다. 황해의 적절한 이용과 빈번히 발생하는 해 난이나 재해 방지와 예방, 그리고 연안오염 및 유류오염 등에 대한 대처를 위한 철저 한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 해양학적인 관점에서 황해의 해수순환, 조류, 해일, 해상 풍, 파랑, 해무등의 연구가 필수적으로 선행되어야 하며 이를 바탕으로 유류나 오염물 질의 분산과 확산, 해안침식, 적조현상, 해수면 장기변동 등을 연구할 수 있을 것이 다. 또한 이러한 연구를 위해서는 제 해양현상의 특성인 시·공간적인 규모 때문에 국 제협력이 필수적으로 요청된다.

The observed time series from the Korea Ocean Research Stations (KORS) in the Yellow and East China Seas (YECS) have various sources of noise, including bio-fouling on the underwater sensors, intermittent depletion of power, cable leakage, and interference between the sensors' signals. Besides these technical issues, intricate waves associated with background tidal currents tend to result in substantial oscillations in oceanic time series. Such technical and environmental issues require a regionally optimized automatic quality control (QC) procedure. Before the achievement of this ultimate goal, we examined the approach of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI)'s standard QC to investigate whether this procedure is pertinent to the KORS. The OOI QC consists of three categorized tests of global/local range of data, temporal variation including spike and gradient, and sensor-related issues associated with its stuck and drift. These OOI QC algorithms have been applied to the water temperature time series from the Ieodo station, one of the KORS. Obvious outliers are flagged successfully by the global/local range checks and the spike check. Both stuck and drift checks barely detected sensor-related errors, owing to frequent sensor cleaning and maintenance. The gradient check, however, fails to flag the remained outliers that tend to stick together closely, as well as often tend to mark probably good data as wrong data, especially data characterized by considerable fluctuations near the thermocline. These results suggest that the gradient check might not be relevant to observations involving considerable natural fluctuations as well as technical issues. Our study highlights the necessity of a new algorithm such as a standard deviation-based outlier check using multiple moving windows to replace the gradient check and an additional algorithm of an inter-consistency check with a related variable to build a standard QC procedure for the KORS.
