Based on the Results of Marine Meteorological and Oceanographical Observations during 1966∼1987 and the Ten-day Marine Report during 1970∼1989 by Japan Meteorological Agency, the possible area where the Japan Sea Proper Water (JSPW) can be formed is investigated by analyzing the distribution of water types in the Japan Sea. The Japan Sea can be divided into three subareas of Northern Cold Water(NCW), Polar Front(PF) and Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) by the Polar Front identified by a 6℃ isothermal line at the sea surface in vinter. Mean position of the Polar Front is approximately parallel to the latitude 39∼40。N. The standard deviation of the Polar Front from the mean position of about 130km width is the smallest in the region between 136。E and 138。E where the Polar Front is very stable, because the branches of the Tsushima Current are converging in this region. However, standard deviations are about 180∼250km near the Korean peninsula and the Tsugaru Strait due to greater variability of warm currents. In the NCW area north of 40∼30。N and west of 138。E, the water types of the sea surface to the loom depth are similar to those of the JSPW. This fact indicates that the surface layer of the NCW area is the possible region of the JSPW formation in winter.

In general, two dimensionless numbers are used in predicting the front propagation rate of density currents: the densimetric Froude number and the dimensionless front velocity. The former expresses the front speed in terms of the characteristic length and reduced gravitational acceleration. Previous papers report that the range of this dimensionless number is wide. The other is the dimensionless front velocity, which is a function of the buoyancy flux per unit width. This paper presents the state of the art review of the dimensionless numbers for the front propagation rate of density currents. Values of the densimetric Froude number are found to be consistent when the proper characteristic length is used for normalization. Then, the densimetric Froude number and the dimensionless front velocity are compared by using the experimental data of density currents over a horizontal surface.

Spatial distribution and vertical structures of water masses around the Antarctic continental margin are described using synthesized hydrographic data. Antarctic Surface Water (AASW) over the shelf regime is distinguished from underlying other water masses by the cut-off salinity, varying from approximately 34.35 to 34.45 around Antarctica. Shelf water, characterized by salinity greater than the cut-off salinity and potential temperature less than $-17^{\circ}C$, is observed on the Ross Sea, off George V Land, off Wilkes Land, the Amery Basin, and the Weddell Sea, but in some shelves AASW occupies the entire shelf. Lower Circumpolar Deep Water is present everywhere around the Antarctic oceanic regime and in some places it mixes with Shelf Water, producing Antarctic Slope Front Water (ASFW). ASFW, characterized by potential temperature less than about $0^{\circ}C$ and greater than $-17^{\circ}C$, and salinity greater than the cut-off salinity, is found everywhere around Antarctica except in the Bellingshausen-Amundsen sector. The presence of different water masses over the Antarctic shelves and shelf edges produces mainly three types of water mass stratifications: no significant meridional property gradient in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas, single property gradient where ASFW presents, and a V-shaped front where Shelf Water exists.

진해만에서 천해전선의 형성 및 전선과 수질분포와의 관계를 해석하기 위해 해양학적인 조사가 수행 되었으며, 또한 Simpson-Hunter의 성층계수 log(H/U$^3$)을 수치계산하였다.인공위성 자료와 현지조사결과에 의하면, 진해만의 천해전선은 가덕수로 북쪽해역 부근에서 형성되며, 전선부근에서 성층계수 값은 2.0~2.5이다. 전선이 셩성되는 위치를 기준으로 했을 때 만의 외해역과 진해만 서부해역에서는 COD 농도가 2.0 mg/l 이하로 낮으나, 전선역의 북쪽 내해에 위치한 마산만에서는 3.0~5.5 mg/l로써 높다. COD 농도는 마산만에서 외해로 갈수록 강한 해수교환으로 인해 점차 감소한다. 하계 저층 무산소 및 저산소 수괴는 진해만 서부해역과 마산만에서 일어나며, DO 농도는 성층계수가 증감함에 따라 감소한다. DO 농도는 전선이 형성되는 해역을 기준으로 만외에서는 약 4.0 mg/l 이상으로 높으나, 만내에서는 낮다. 천해전선은 연안에서 외해로의 물질수송에 대해 중요한 역하을 하며, 또한 전선의 형성지역은 물리적 및 화학적으로 중요한 경계를 이루는 것 같다.

본 연구에서는 삼각 요소망을 구성하는데 사용되는 기존의 Delaunay Triangulation 기법 외에 Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘을 적용하여 하천의 경계가 중요시되는 해석 모델에 적합한 삼각 요소망을 생성하고자 한다. Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘은 외부 경계를 따라 삼각 요소를 형성하기 시작하여 전체 해석 영역으로 요소를 채워가는 방법이다. 이 방법은 위에서 언급한 Delaunay Triangulation 기법의 단점인 해석 영역의 경계에서 요소의 형질이 좋지 못한 문제를 극복할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 미리 절점을 생성하지 않으므로 메모리를 절약하는 효과도 얻게 된다. Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘은 외부 경계의 노드(i)와 노드(i+1)을 Front로 하고, 이등변삼각형을 이루기 위해 해석 영역 내부의 적절한 위치에 새로운 절점(C)을 생성한다. 이렇게 Front와 새로운 절점(C)으로 이루어진 이등변 삼각형 요소가 생성된 후에, Front는 다음 Front로 전진하면서 점차 해석 영역의 내부로 삼각형 요소를 채우게 된다. 이와 같은 방법에 의해서 해석영역의 경계에서는 비교적 이등변 삼각형에 가까운 삼각 요소가 생성된다.

The purpose of this study is to understand spatio-temporal changes of active fungal biomass and water in Tricholoma matsutake soil colonies during the mushroom fruiting season. The active fungal biomass was estimated by analyzing ergosterol content at four different points within four replicated locations in a single circular T. matsutake colony at Ssanggok valley in the Sogri Mt. National Park in Korea during 2003 to 2005. The four points were the ahead of the colony, the front edge of the colony and 20 cm and 40 cm back from the front edge of the colony. Ergosterol content was 0.0 to 0.7 ${\mu}g$ per gram dried soil at the ahead, 2.5 to 4.8 ${\mu}g$ at the front edge, 0.5 to 1.8 ${\mu}g$ at the 20 cm back and 0.3 to 0.8 ${\mu}g$ at the 40 cm back. The ergosterol content was very high at the front edge where the T. matsutake hyphae were most active. However, ergosterol content did not significantly change during the fruiting season, September to October. Soil water contents were lower at the front edge and 20 cm back from the front edge of the colony than at the ahead and 40 cm back during the fruiting season. Soil water content ranged from 12 to 19% at the ahead, 10 to 11% at the edge, 9 to 11% at the 20 cm back and 11 to 15% at the 40 cm back. Our results suggest that the active front edge of the T. matsutake soil colony could be managed in terms of water relation and T. matsutake ectomycorrhizal root development.

CTD, 해류계, 인공위성 영상사진을 이용하여 황해 중부의 조석전선 주변역을 조사 한 결과 몇 가지 물리적 특성을 알 수 있었다. 전선은 태안반도 끝 부분을 중심으로 하여 4월 중에 태양열에 의한 해표면 가열과 함께 나타나기 시작하여 8월에 가장 뚜렷 하며 11월에는 표층냉각과 함께 소멸한다. 전선의 북측에서는 전선을 가로지르는 조류 에 의하여 수온 염분의 조석주기 변화가 나타남으로써 전선구조를 보여준다. 경기만에 서 나타나는 전선은 통최상의 조석전선과 달리 한강에서 유출된 담수와 외양수의 만남 에 의하여 형성된다. 표층냉수의 중심에서는 조석혼합역이 연안으로부터 약 50 km 외 양하지 분포한다. 전선의 남측에서도 전선의 구조는 비슷하나 전반적으로 혼합 정도가 약하게 나타난다. 이 연안 혼합역의 연안쪽에서는 금강유출된 담수에 의하여 염분전선 이 좁은 범위에서 흥성된다. 이 염분전선 부근의 일부에서는 용승과 같은 현상이 관측 되었다.

The detailed structure of a tidal front and its ebb-to flood variation in the main tidal channel of the Kyunggi Bay in the mid-west coast of Korea were investigated by analyzing CTD data and drifter trajectories collected in late July 1999. A typical tidal front was formed in water about 60 m deep at the mouth of the channel. Isotherms and isohalines in the upper layer above the seasonal pycnocline in the offshore stratified zone inclined upward to the sea surface to form a surface front, while those in the lower layer declined to the bottom front. The location of the front is consistent with $100 S^3/cm^2$ of the mixing index H/U defined by Simpson and Hunter (1974), where H is the water depth and U is the amplitude of tidal current. The potential energy anomaly in the frontal zone varied at an ebb-to flood tidal cycle, showing a minimum at slack water after ebb but a maximum at slack water after flood. This ebb-to flood variation in potential energy anomaly is not accounted for by the mixing index. We conclude that on- and offshore displacement of the water column by tidal advection is responsible for the ebb-to-flood variation in the frontal zone.

This investigation deals with the spin-up flows in a circular container of aspect ratio, 2.0. Shear front is generated in the transient spin-up process and propagating from the side wall to the central axis in a rotating container. Propagation of the shear front to the axis in a rotating container means the region acquires an angular momentum transfer from the solid walls. Propagating speed of the shear front depends on the apparent viscosity of polymer solution. Two kinds of polymer solutions are considered as a working fluid: one is CMC and the other is CTAB solution. CMC solution has larger apparent viscosity than that of water, and CTAB shows varying apparent viscosities depending on the applied shear rates. Transient and spatial variations of the apparent viscosities of the present polymer solutions (CTAB and CMC) cause different speeds of the propagating shear front. In practice, CMC solution that has larger values of apparent viscosity than that of water always shows rapid approach to the steady state in comparison of the behavior of the flows with water. However, for the CTAB solution, the speed of the propagating of the shear front changes with the local magnitude of its apparent viscosity. Consequently, the prediction of Wedemeyer's model quantitatively agrees with the present experimental results.

Temperature, salinity, alkalinity, pH, nutrient, chlorophyll, and iron were measured within the upper 250m water column around the Antarctic Polar Front in the Scotia Sea from late November to early December 2001. Temperature and salinity showed a rapid change across the Polar Front, and the temperature minimum layer existed only in the southern area of the Polar Front. Total $CO_2$ and nutrient concentrations were relatively high and increased rapidly with water depth in the southern area of the Polar Front, which was resulted from upwelling of the Antarctic deep water containing high concentrations of total $CO_2$ and nutrient. ${\Delta}C:{\Delta}N:{\Delat}P$ ratios measured in the norhem and southern areas of the Polar Front were 75:11.4:1 and 84:12.5:1, respectively, which were lower than the Redfield ratio. ${\Delta}Si:{\Delta}N$ ratio (3.65) measured in the southern area of the Polar Front was two times higher than that (1.95) in the northern area. These two ratios were higher than the ratio (1.0) measured in the temperate and tropical oceans. Chlorophyll concentrations were extremely high in the area of $59^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}S$, which was attributed to favorable environmental conditions for phytoplankton growth in this area, such as sufficient iron, high water column stability, and high silicate concentration.
