Since the operation of the King Sejong Station (KSS) started in Antarctic Peninsula in 1989, there have been continuous efforts to perform the observation for the upper atmosphere. The observations during the initial period of the station include Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) and Michelson Interferometer for the mesosphere and thermosphere, which are no longer in operation. In 2002, in collaboration with York University, Canada, the Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager (SATI) was installed to observe the temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region and it has still been producing the mesopause temperature data until present. The observation was extended by installing the meteor radar in 2007 to observe the neutral winds and temperature in the MLT region during the day and night in collaboration with Chungnam National University. We also installed the all sky camera in 2008 to observe the wave structures in the MLT region. All these observations are utilized to study on the physical characteristics of the MLT region and also on the wave phenomena such as the tide and gravity wave in the upper atmosphere over KSS that is well known for the strong gravity wave activity. In this article, brief introductions for the currently operating instruments at KSS will be presented with their applications for the study of the upper atmosphere.

국내에서 7번째로 큰 섬인 영종도는 인천으로부터 남서쪽으로 약 4.8 km 떨어져 있다. 영종도 주변에는 조수 차에 따라 드러나는 갯벌이 존재하며, 이곳은 지속적으로 감소하고 있는 겨울철새의 중요한 도래지라는 점에서 환경적 가치가 높은 곳이기도 하다. 그러나 최근 인천국제공항의 건설과 간척사업과 같은 인위적인 자연개발로 인해 갯벌 보존에 대한 우려가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 지질조사소 (USGS)가 제공하고 있는 Landsat 7 ETM+영상을 기반으로 영종도 갯벌 지역을 분석하였다. 갯벌의 경계선을 뚜렷이 나타내기 위하여 물과 육지의 경계가 분명하게 구분하는 RGB 7, 5, 3 밴드조합으로 위성영상 가합성 (False color composite)을 수행하고 지표피복분류를 통해 갯벌을 탐지하여 면적을 계산하였으며, 갯벌 면적을 수치화하는 작업을 반복 수행하였다. 또한 조위관측소가 자료를 제공하는 기간인 2000년부터 2015년까지 총 16년간 자료를 기반으로, 조위의 변화에 따라 영종도 동북부 갯벌 지역의 면적을 수치화하여, 각 조위구간에 따라 나타나는 면적을 분석하였다. 본 논문은 차후 영종도 갯벌의 보존에 대한 연구가 진행되기에 앞서 동일한 조위 조건에서 면적의 범위에 대한 지표가 될 것이며, 인위적인 환경변화에 의한 영종도 지역의 갯벌 변화를 관측하는데 중요한 과학적 근거가 될 것으로 예상된다.

12 or 25 hours continuous observations were made for the variations of nutrients and chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ with tidal cycle at a fixed station located at a mid-channel of the Masan Bay. High nitrate concentrations were observed at the time of low tides whereas high phosphate concentrations at the time of high tides. It is suggested that anoxic bottom waters could also be the possible source of high phosphates in the outer bay. Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentrations were related to the nitrates in April and to the phosphates in June and August. The possible role of growth stimulators in causing the extensive blooms of red tide organisms is suggested.

Heterotrophic activity, total bacteria and salinity were determined seasonally in the estuary of Naktong River over half tidal cycle. Heterotrophic activity was determined by the uptake of [U- $^{14}$ C]glucose. Heterotrophic activity fluctuated with the tides and was decreased as salinity increased. Teh great activity occurred near low ebb tide at all seasons except summer. The main environmental factor affecting hetreotrophic activity was the salinity rather than water temperature in the estuary of Naktong River. In order to estimate the effect of salt, salt was added to estuarine water. Vmax for glucose of salt-added water was 17% and 77% of original estuarine water at station 1 and 2 respectively and slight increase was observed at station 3. Respiration rate and Kt+Sn for glucose of salt-added sample increased at all 3 stations. The increase of the Kt value implies the reduced affinity of bacterial population for glucose. The effects of salinity on the heterotrophic activity were more extensive in the upper region of estuary than at the mouth.

The objective of this study is to develop a prediction mode for a flood forecasting system in the downstream of the Nakdong river basin. Ranging from the gauging station at Jindong to the Nakdong estuary barrage, the hydraulic flood routing model(DWOPER) based on the Saint Venant equation was calibrated by comparing the calculated river stage with the observed river stages using four different flood events recorded. The upstream boundary condition was specified by the measured river stage data at Jindong station and the downstream boundary condition was given according to the tide level data observed at he Nakdong estuary barrage. The lateral inflow from tributaries were estimated by the rainfall-runoff model. In the calibration process, the optimum roughness coefficients for proper functions of channel reach and discharge were determined by minimizing the sum of the differences between the observed and the computed stage. In addition, the forecasting lead time on the basis of each gauging station was determined by a numerical simulation technique. Also, we suggested a model structure for a real-time flood forecasting system and tested it on the basis of past flood events. The testing results of the developed system showed close agreement between the forecasted and observed stages. Therefore, it is expected that the flood forecasting system we developed can improve the accuracy of flood forecasting on the Nakdong river.

The positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been improved considerably during the past two decades. The main error sources such as ionospheric refraction, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath, and tropospheric delay have been reduced substantially, if not eliminated. In this study, the GPS data collected by the GPS receivers that were established as continuously operating reference stations by International GNSS Service (IGS), Ministry of the Interior (MOl), Central Weather Bureau (CWB), and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Of Taiwan are utilized to investigate the impact of atmospheric water vapor on GPS positioning determination. The surface meteorological measurements that were concurrently acquired by instruments co-located with the GPS receivers include temperature, pressure and humidity data. To obtain the influence of the GPS height on the proposed impact study. A hydrodynamic ocean tide model (GOTOO.2 model) and solid earth tide were used to improve the GPS height. The surface meteorological data (pressure, temperature and humidity) were introduced to the data processing with 24 troposphere parameters. The results from the studies associated with different GPS height were compared for the cases with and without a priori knowledge of surface meteorological measurements. The finding based on the measurements in 2003 is that the surface meteorological measurements have an impact on the GPS height. The associated daily maximum of the differences is 1.07 cm for the KDNM station. The impact is reduced due to smoothing when the average of the GPS height for the whole year is considered.

In this paper, we have investigated the tidal characteristics of the Nakdongpo estuary. We have carried out the analysis of harmonic constant with the use of the recorded data on tidal level at the Gadeong Do tide station and analyzed the flow velocity data obtained by ourselves at two points in the Nakdongpo estuary. In addition, we have analyzed the variation of the mean-sea level. Typical items of the characteristics we have found are; (1) The principal harmonic constants and non-harmonic constants are shown in table 2. (2) Tide in this area shows the semidiurnal inequality. (3) The mean-sea level is shown to be depressed at the rate of about 1cm to the rise of 1 mbar of the atmospheric pressure. (4) (i) At $K_2$ point, The E-W component of the velocty reveals the nature of progressive waves. The N-S component reveals the nature of stationary waves. (ii) At $K_3$ point, The E-W component shows the characteristics of progressive waves to some degree. The N-S component shows a weak hint of stationary waves. (5) At $K_2$ point, S-component is predominant due to the flow of river. At $K_3$ point, E-component is predominant due to the Tsushima current.
