  • 하계에 나타나는 황해저층내수에 간단한 3차원의 육면체 모델을 적용하여, 조석의 혼합작용과 쿠로시오수괴가 황해저층냉수의 형성에 주는 영향을 연구하였다. 본연구에 서는 수치모델의 기술적인 문제 때문에 조석의 혼합작용을 연직혼합계수로 매계변수화 하였다. 또한 연안을 따라 나타나는 수온전선은 조석의 혼합작용에 의해서 형성되도록 하였으며, 황해저층냉수의 남부에 나타나는 수온전선의 형성에는 고온의 쿠로시오수괴 를 고려하였다. 수치실험의 결과, 모델의 상층과 하층에서 수온분포의 영향이 반대로 나타났다. 상층에서는 모델의 중앙부에서, 하층에서는 연안해역에서 각각 상대적으로 고온의 수온분포가 나타났다. 해수의 순환형태 역시 상층과 하층 사이에 반대로서, 상 층에는 시계방향이, 하층에는 반시계방향의 순환이 나타났다.

  • 시화조력발전소 가동에 따른 인근 해역의 해수특성 및 성층변화를 파악하기 위하여 3차원 수치모델을 이용하였다. 여름철의 경우, 하천을 통해 유입되는 담수의 영향으로 인해 시화호 내측의 밀도는 수온보다는 염분에 의해 더 영향을 받는다. 조력발전소 가동 전에 호 내측에서는 외해에 비해 상대적으로 고온, 저염의 해수특성을 보이는 반면에 조력발전소 가동 시에는 호 내측의 수온이 소폭 낮아지고 염분이 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 조력발전소 가동 시 해수의 유입 유출이 활발해짐에 따라 혼합효과의 증대로 인해 시화호의 밀도는 증가하고 성층은 약화되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 해양 준설토를 재활용하여 인공염습지를 조성하기 위한 기초연구로서 준설토 배합비가 상이한 pilot-scale의 인공염습지 현장시험구를 조성하고 대표적인 염생식물인 갈대를 이식한 후 초기의 환경변화를 조사하였다. 이식된 갈대의 정착률은 준설토의 배합비가 높을수록 낮아졌으나 새로 자라난 갈대의 지상부 길이와 직경은 준설비 배합비별로 큰 차이가 나타나지는 않았다. 준설토 100%로 조성된 시험구내 토양의 강열감량과 COD 농도는 유기물의 유출입이 비교적 자유로운 열린계(open system)로 인해 증감을 반복하는 양상을 보이긴 하였으나 초기값에 비해 각각 9%와 30%씩 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 시험구 조성 이후 시간이 흐름에 따라 준설토 50%와 100%의 시험구에서는 종속영양세균 개체수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이식한 갈대의 정착, 100% 준설토 시험구내의 감소된 COD 함량 및 종속미생물의 증가 등 본 연구의 결과로 염생식물의 식재를 통한 인공염습지의 조성 및 생물학적 분해를 이용하는 해양 준설토의 친환경적인 처리 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 준설토를 이용한 인공염습지 조성가능성에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해서는 보다 다양한 항목에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

  • Spatial-temporal variations in physiochemical water qualities (temperature, salinity, DO, SPM, POC and nutrients) of surface and bottom waters were investigated along the mid-western coastal area (Taean Peninsula to Gomso Bay) of Korea. Spatial distribution patterns of temperature and salinity were mostly controlled by the physical mixing process of freshwater from Geum River and/or Gyunggi Bay with nearby coastal water. A strong tidal front is formed off Taean Peninsula during spring and summer. Seasonal variations in nutrient concentrations, lower in spring and summer and higher in fall and winter, are primarily regulated by magnitude of phytoplankton occurrence rather than freshwater loadings into the bay. Based on seasonal and spatial variability of physicochemical parameters, water quality of the study area can be divided into four water masses; Gyunggi Bay-influenced Water Mass (GBWM), Geum River-influenced Water Mass (GRWM), Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water Mass (YSBCWM) and Cheonsu Bay Water Mass (CBWM). Water quality of the GBWM (Taean Peninsula coastal area), which has relatively low salinity and high concentrations of nutrients, is strongly controlled by the Gyunggi Bay coastal water, which is under influence of the Han River freshwater. In this water mass, the mixed layer is always developed by strong tidal mixing. As a result, a tidal front is formed along the offshore boundary of the mixed layer. Such tidal fronts probably play an important role in the distribution of phytoplankton communities, SPM and nutrients. The GRWM, with low salinity and high nutrients, especially during the flood summer season, is closely related to physiochemical properties of the Geum River. During the flood season, nutrient-enriched Geum River water mass extends up to 60 km away from the river mouth, potentially causing serious environmental problems such as eutrophication and unusual and/or noxious algal blooms. Offshore (<$30{\sim}40m$ in water depth) of the study area, YSBCWM coupled with a strong thermocline can be identified in spring-summer periods, exhibiting abundant nutrients in association with low temperature and limited biological activity. During spring and summer, a tidal front is formed in a transition zone between the coastal water mass and bottom cold water mass in the Yellow Sea, resulting in intensified upwelling and thereby supplying abundant nutrients to the GBWM and GRWM. Such cold bottom water mass and tidal front formation seems to play an important role in controlling water quality and further regulating physical ecosystem processes along mid-western Korean coastal area.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the high saline water phenomenon of Handong-ri area in the eastern coast of Jeju Island, were investigate the tidal effect of groundwater level, variation of electric conductivity and temperature, geological logging on the monitoring wells, chemical water quality, and ratios of oxygen istope of groundwater and seawater Results in investigating variation of interface zone of freshwater and saline water represented that the hyaloclastites formed at below groundwater table is developing toward the coast; this area consisted of stratum of good permeability. Hyaloclastites is presumed the main path of the high salinity water There are a lot of movement by the tide at upper layer. Salinity of lower layer spreads to upper up step in proportion to tidal energy. Because of hydrogeological characteristics, Interface zone of freshwater and saline water is made, High salinity of groundwater occur in east coastal area of Jeju Island. Therefore, I think that high saline groundwater phenomenon is natural condition by simple mixing.

  • The Yellow Sea is characterized by relatively shallow water depth, varying range of tidal action and very complex coastal geometry such as islands, bays, peninsulas, tidal flats, shoals etc. The dynamic system is controlled by tides, regional winds, river discharge, and interaction with the Kuroshio. The circulation, water mass properties and their variability in the Yellow Sea are very complicated and still far from clear understanding. In this study, an effort to improve our understanding the dynamic feature of the Yellow Sea system was conducted using numerical simulation with the ROMS model, applying climatologic forcing such as winds, heat flux and fresh water precipitation. The inter-annual variability of general circulation and thermohaline structure throughout the year has been obtained, which has been compared with observational data sets. The simulated horizontal distribution and vertical cross-sectional structures of temperature and salinity show a good agreement with the observational data indicating significantly the water masses such as Yellow Sea Warm Water, Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water, Changjiang River Diluted Water and other sporadically observed coastal waters around the Yellow Sea. The tidal effects on circulation and dynamic features such as coastal tidal fronts and coastal mixing are predominant in the Yellow Sea. Hence the tidal effects on those dynamic features are dealt in the accompanying paper (Kim et at., 2004). The ROMS model adopts curvilinear grid with horizontal resolution of 35 km and 20 vertical grid spacing confirming to relatively realistic bottom topography. The model was initialized with the LEVITUS climatologic data and forced by the monthly mean air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat and fresh water derived from COADS. On the open boundaries, climatological temperature and salinity are nudged every 20 days for data assimilation to stabilize the modeling implementation. This study demonstrates a Yellow Sea version of Atlantic Basin experiment conducted by Haidvogel et al. (2000) experiment that the ROMS simulates the dynamic variability of temperature, salinity, and velocity fields in the ocean. However the present study has been improved to deal with the large river system, open boundary nudging process and further with combination of the tidal forcing that is a significant feature in the Yellow Sea.

  • 연안 해수유동에 관한 3차원 수치모형의 적용에서 연직 과점성계수의 정확한 산정은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 연안 해수유동 계산시 널리 사용되고 있는 연직 과점성계수 산정방법들을 정상 개수로 흐름과 비정상류인 조류의 해석에 적용하여 수리실험자료와 비교평가하였다. 계산결과에 의하면, 정상류에 대해서는 비교된 모든 모형이 실험치와 대체로 일치하는 양호한 결과를 보였다. 그러나, 비정상류인 조류에 대해서는 난류 수송 방정식을 해석하는 2-방정식과 1-방정식 난류모형들은 대체로 실험치와 일치하는 결과를 주었으나, 0-방정식 모형은 난류의 수송현상을 제대로 고려하지 못하여 위상에서 실험치와 많은 차이를 보였다.

  • Numerical model introduced in this study combines wave refraction-diffraction, breaking, bottom friction, lateral mixing, and critical shear stress and three sub-models for simulating waves, currents, and bottom change were briefly discussed. Simulations of beach processes and harbor sedimentation were also described at the coast neighboring Bangpo Harbor, Anmyundo, Chungnam, where the area has suffered from accumulation of drifting sand in a small fishing harbor with a wide tidal range. We also made model test for the case of a narrow tidal range at Nakdong river's estuary area to understand the effect of water level variation on the littoral drift. Simulations are conducted in terms of incident wave direction and tidal level. Characteristics of wave transformation, nearshore current, sediment transport, and bottom change are shown and analyzed. We found from the simulation that the tidal level impact to the sediment transport is very important and we should apply the numerical model with different water level to analyze sediment transport mechanism correctly. Although the model study gave reasonable description of beach processes and harbor sedimentation mechanism, it is necessary to collect lots of field observation data, including waves, tides and bottom materials, etc. for better prediction.
