A field survey for dinoflagellate cysts was carried out from May 2000 to November 2002 for the Southwest Sea of Korea. A total dinoflagellate cysts identified were 33 species, which belonged to 17 genera, 31 species, and 2 unidentified species. A cysts density were 16-1,501 cysts-gdry$^{-1}$. The dominant species of dinoflagellate cysts in the Southwestern Sea of Korea were Spiniferites bulloideus and Scrippsiella trochoidea, which are autotrophic species. To investigate the environmental characteristics of the Southwestern Sea of Korea using the dinoflagellate cysts, a principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted using the data collected from a total of 51 stations. From the score distribution map by the PCA, the Southwestern Sea of Korea was largely divided into three regions according to the first primary component and the second primary component. In other words, Group 1 was the western sea area of Mokpo and Jindo, Group 2 was the outer sea area of the South Sea, and Group 3 was the coastal areas of the South Sea around the Archipelago. It was found that this division of sea area was influenced by effects of the sea environment of the coastal areas of Korea. The coastal areas of Mokpo and Jindo that belong to Group 1 were affected by the cold Yellow Sea water. The outer sea area of the central parts of the South Sea that belong to Group 2, which is the boundary between the Southern coastal water of Korea and the Tsushima warm water, was subject to the formation of temperature fronts throughout the year, while Group 3 was affected by the coastal waters of Korea. It was also found that this division was in close relationship with the distribution of sediment facies in the bottom layer. From the above results, the environmental factors that influence the cyst distribution in he Southwestern Sea of Korea were found to include the eutrophication status of the sea area, the physical characteristics of the sea environment such as the flow of sea current and fronts, the sediment facies in the bottom layer, and the appearance volume of motile cells.

Wind power energy is one of the favorable and fast growing renewable energies. It is most important for exact analysis of wind to evaluate and forecast the wind power energy. The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of numerical atmospheric model by data assimilation over a complex coastal area. The benefit of the profiler is its high temporal resolution and dense observation data at the lower troposphere. Three wind profiler sites used in this study are inhomogeneously situated near south-western coastal area of Korean Peninsula. The method of the data assimilation for using the profiler to the model simulation is the three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR). The experiment of two cases, with/without assimilation, were conducted for how to effect on model results with wind profiler data. It was found that the assimilated case shows the more reasonable results than the other case compared with vertical observation and surface Automatic Weather Station(AWS) data. Although the effect of sonde data was better than profiler at a higher altitude, the profiler data improves the model performance at lower atmosphere. Comparison with the results of 4 June and 5 June suggests that the efficiency with hourly assimilated profiler data is strongly influenced by synoptic conditions. The reduction rate of Normalized Mean Error(NME), mean bias normalized by averaged wind speed of observation, on 4 June was 28% which was larger than 13% of 5 June. In order to examine the difference in wind power energy, the wind power density(WPD) was calculated and compared.

This study collected the latest 30-year (1976~2005) continuous rainfall data hourly recorded at 61 meterological observatories in Korea, and the continuous rainfall data was divided into individual rainfall events. In addition, distribution charts of average rainfall event-depth were created to facilitate the application to the overflow risk-based design of detention storage basin. This study shows that 4 hour is appropriate for SST (storm separation time) to separate individual rainfall events from the continuous rainfall data, and the one-parameter exponential distribution is suitable for the frequency distribution of rainfall event depths for the domestic rainfall data. The analysis of the domestic rainfall data using SST of 4 hour showed that the individual rainfall event was 1380 to 2031 times, the average rainfall event-depth was 19.1 to 32.4mm, and ranged between 0.877 and 0.926. Distribution charts of average rainfall event-depth were created for 4hour and 6 hour of SST, respectively. The inland Gyeongsangbuk-do, Western coastal area and inland of Jeollabuk-do had relatively lower average rainfall event-depth, whereas Southern coastal area, such as Namhae, Yeosu, and Jeju-do had relatively higher average rainfall event-depth.

A geochemical study was carried out to define how marine shore sediments are related to their terrestrial source rocks in the region of Taean and Byunsan Peninsula, western Korea. The lithology of the coastal part of the study area is composed of Pre-Cambrian granite gneiss, schist, Jurassic terrestrial sedimentary rocks, and Cretaceous plutonic intrusives. Shore sediments are transported from three drainage tributaries. The sediments consist of quatrz with clay minerals, such as illite, kaolinite, smectite, chlorite. Heavy minerals include hematite, ilmenite, rare amount of zircon and apatite. Compared to those in coastal rocks, amount of heavy minerals in the sediments is considerably low. The low content of heavy minerals is thought to be attributed to the heavy mineral detainment in the river beds and influences of tidal currents which cause heavy minerals to accumulate in specific spots. Chemical composition of the major and trace elements, trace elements, and REE chondrite normalized pattern suggest that shore sediments transported from the corresponding drainage tributary show close mineralogical and geochemical relationships with the source rocks distributed in the Taean and Byunsan Peninsula.

Extraction of waterline in tidal flat has been one of the main concerns in the remote sensing of coastal region. This study aimed to define the spectral characteristics of turbid water near the shoreline and to find the appropriate spectrum to delineate the waterline at the inter-tidal flat in the western coast of Korean Peninsula. Spectral reflectance curves were obtained by the field measurements under the diverse condition of water depth and turbidity at the study area in Kyong-gi Bay. Spectroscopy measurements showed that reflectances of the exposed mudflat, shallow turbid water, and normal coastal water were significantly different by wavelength. Shallow water near the waterline showed diverse conditions of turbidity. Spectral reflectance tends to increase as turbidity increases, particularly at the visible and near infrared spectrum. At the middle infrared wavelength, tidal water showed very little reflectance regardless of the turbidity and water depth and was easily disting from the exposed tidal flat. The exact waterline between exposed tidal flat and seawater should be extracted from the image data obtained at the middle infrared wavelength.

동계 한반도의 기후에 큰 영향을 미치는 한랭 건조한 대륙성고기압이 서해를 거쳐 한반도의 확장해 올 때 서해 연안지역의 적설량과 서해의 해황이 어떻게 상호 영향을 미치는가를 알아보았다. 서해 연안지역의 적설량은 인천은 1월, 2월과 12월, 군산과 목포는 1월, 12월과 2월 순으로 적설량이 많다. 한랭 건조한 대륙기단의 중심이 서해를 통과하는 경우가, 서해를 통과하지 않는 경우보다 인천지역에서는 약 3.4배, 군산에서는 약 2.3배 정도를 해양으로부터 많은 열을 흡수한다. 또한, 서해 연안지역에서 1일 10 cm 이상의 대설이 발생한 기간에는 잠열속과 현열속에 의한 방출열량이 약 $100W/m^2$ 이상이다. 대설이 발생한 시기의 기압배치는 중국 북부 지방이나 중부 지방에 고기압이 위치하고, 동해상이나 일본 열도상에 저기압이 존재하여 서해 또는 한반도에서 전선이 형성되는 서고동저형의 특징을 보인다. 한편, 대설이 발생한 기간동안 서해 연안지역의 풍향은 북풍 또는 북서풍이 우세하고, 풍속은 $4\sim8m/sec$ 정도이다.

본 연구는 제 3차 전국자연환경조사 결과를 토대로 흰물떼새(Charadrius alexandrinus)의 시 공간적 분포현황과 흰물떼새가 선호하는 서식지 유형을 분석하였다. 2006년부터 2012년까지 흰물떼새는 전국 824 도엽 중 97개 도엽(약 11.8%)에서 기록되었고 주로 서해안과 남해안의 해안선을 따라 집중 분포하였다. 또한, 일부 동해안과 내륙의 주요 강(한강, 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강, 영산강) 주변, 제주도의 동쪽과 서쪽 해안선 일대와 대청도에서 관찰되었다. 주요 관찰된 시기는 봄철 이동시기와 번식기, 가을철 이동시기이며 환경부 중분류 토지피복 분석 결과 수역과 습지의 넓이가 흰물떼새의 서식에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 환경부 세분류 토지피복의 연안습지 면적 분석 결과 흰물떼새가 관찰된 도엽의 대부분(약 90%)에는 연안습지가 형성되어 있었고, 연안습지의 형성여부가 흰물떼새의 분포에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 흰물떼새는 서식지의 변화에 따라 번식지를 이동하며, 서식지 환경변화에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 흰물떼새는 생물지표 기준으로서 연안습지 지역의 서식지 환경의 변화와 관련이 있고 시기별 개체수 산정이 가능하기 때문에 우리나라 조간대 연안의 생태적 가치를 판단하는 지표종으로 활용할 만한 가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

간척지를 포함하고 있는 연구지역에서 육지에서 해안지역으로 근접할수록 측정된 지하수의 산화환원 전위 (Eh)와 용존 산소량 (DO)은 낮게 관찰되었다 (Eh: 0.57 V ${\rightarrow}$ 0.13 V, DO; 9.7 mg/l ${\rightarrow}$ 1.3 mg/l). 이는 연구지역 지하수의 산화환경이 육지에서 해안가로 근접할수록 호기성 환경에서 아혐기성/혐기성 환경으로 변화한다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 지하수 수질 분석 결과에 의하면 철이온 (Fe)이 지하수에 많이 포함되어 있으며 (> 20 mg/l), 대부분의 2가 철로 존재한다. 이러한 연구지역 해안가 지하수들의 특징들은 지하수들이 철의 환원작용 (Fe reduction)이 일어날 수 있는 혐기성 환경에 위치하고 있음을 지시해준다. 철 환원작용이 일어나기 위해서는 3가 철의 공급원이 필요한데, 관측정 퇴적물의 철이온 추출실험에 의하면 연구지역의 퇴적물은 철 환원작용에 필요한 3가 철이온에 대한 충분한 공급원 역할을 할 수 있다. 따라서 분석한 지하수 및 퇴적물의 결과들을 종합해석하면, 연구지역에서 일어나는 철 환원작용은 갯벌의 간척활동과 많은 관련을 가지고 있는 것으로 추정된다.

서해안과 같이 큰 조차를 가진 연안해역에서 항만건설과 매립사업이 널리 진행되고 있으며, 대부분의 사업은 방조제 건설을 필요로 한다. 대부분의 방조제는 내부와 외부사이에 해수가 교환되지 않으나, 사석만을 사용해서 축조된 방파제와 가호안의 투수성 제방에서는 해수가 교환된다. 내부의 수면은 외부 조위의 변화에 따라 시간에 따라 변화하나 그 조차는 해수교환시 제방에서의 큰 마찰로 인하여 외부보다는 작다. 지금까지의 연구에서는 제방을 통한 해수교환을 무시하는 것이 조석모델링에서 일반적이다. 이는 내부의 해수면 변화를 계산할 수 없을 뿐 아니라 물막이 공사와 같이 일부 개방구간이 존재하는 경우에 개방구간만을 통한 해수교환량만을 고려하고, 제체를 통한 해수교환량을 무시하여 내부의 조위와 실제 해수교환량을 부정확하게 계산한다. 본 연구에서는 지하수이론을 이용하여 해수유동모의시 투수성 제체를 통한 해수교환량을 정확히 고려할 수 있도록 하였다.

The land reclamation area of Saemangeum(Kunsan) is located between 126$^{\circ}$10' E~126$^{\circ}$50' E and 35$^{\circ}$35' N~356$^{\circ}$05'N at the western coast of the Korean peninsula. The are many small islands including extensive areas of semi-diurnally flooded and dewatered tidal flats. The reclamation area of Saemangeum has a range of 5.6m spring tide and the maximum tidal current speed is about 1.41m s-1 in ordinary spring tide. Most of the sediments deposited on the tidal flats are transported from the Geum river, the Manjyung river and The Dongjin river. The soil in this area consists of silty sand with the depth of 10m to 30m . The wind in winter is strong from the direction of northwest. In the past twenty years, land reclamation projects for agricutural purpose or industrial cocmplex have been mostly implemented along the western coast of Korea. Saemangeum coastal area is being constructed the33km sea dike and 40, 100ha reclamation area. The purpose of this study is to find the residual circulations in four seasons after the dike construction by a robust diagnostic and prognostic numerical model. Heat flux at the sea surface in January ,May , August , October was asopted on the basis on the daily inflow of solar radiation at the earth surface, assuming an average atomospheric transmission and no clouds , as a function of latitude and time of year(George L.P.J.E William, 1990). The discharge from the Geum , the Mankyung and the Dongjin rivers was adopted on the basis of experience formula of river flow in January , May ,August, October (The M. of C.Korea, 1993) . Water temperature and salinity along the open boundaries are obtained from the results of field observation s.
