The kriging model, one of the geostatistical models, has been used to evaluate the deep-sea manganese nodule deposits until now. The distribution of the manganese nodule deposits estimated by the model shows the smooth surface as well as much difference from the actual distribution. Subsequently, it estimates the deposit distribution roughly in terms of the limited data of surveyed zone. Therefore, this paper presents the interpretation methodology of the deep-sea manganese nodule deposit distribution by using the fractal model to overcome the problems caused by the geostatistical model. Also, the manganese nodule distributions are interpreted by using the manganese nodule data sampled in the GH82-4 zone, west longitude $165^{\circ}40^{\prime}-169^{\circ}00^{\prime}$, and south latitude $0^{\circ}00^{\prime}-2^{\circ}40^{\prime}$ neighboring Nova-Canton Trough in the Pacific Ocean which was surveyed by the Geological Survey of Japan in 1982.

Spatio-temporal distributions of nighttime fishing fleets were described with the aid of geographic information system (GIS) technology in the East Sea, using daily mean composite images of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) /Operational Linescan System (OLS) in 1993 and 1994. We selected a study area from 30$^{\circ}$N to 44$^{\circ}$N in latitude and from 124$^{\circ}$E to 142$^{\circ}$E in longitude in order to describe the monthly and seasonal changes of nighttime fishing fleets. The OLS images of nighttime visible band provide useful information about the spatio-temporal distribution of the fishing fleets. Density areas of nighttime fishing fleets were around Tsushima/Korea Strait. the east coast of the Korea Peninsula, the coast of Honshu, and around Yamato Bank.

As wind farm outputs depend on natural wind resources that vary over space and time, spatial correlation analysis is needed to estimate power outputs of wind generation resources. As a result, geographic information such as latitude and longitude plays a key role to estimate power outputs of spatially distributed wind farms. In this paper, we introduce spatial correlation analysis to estimate the power outputs produced by wind farms that are geographically distributed. We present spatial correlation analysis of empirical power output data for the JEJU Island and ERCOT ISO (Texas) wind farms and propose the Correlation Decay Distance (CoDecDist) model based on geographic correlation analysis to enhance the estimation of wind power outputs.

The purpose of this study is to predict the effective sky temperature on Osan City during the summer. The north latitude, east longitude of Osan City is $37^{\circ}06'$ and $127^{\circ}02'$. The altitude from the sea level is 48m. Empirical relations of the effective sky temperature suggested by Duffie and Beckman are compared on clear days. For the effective sky temperature prediction, data measured by the Korea Meteorological Administration is used as an input to the Bliss model. Both Hottel and Krondratyev model are used to calculate the water vapor emissivity. The results using Hottel's model match well with the empirical relation proposed by Bliss. The results show maximum, minimum, and average values depending on water vapor emissivity model. The maximum deviation is about 10K and is due to total emissivity model.

The objectives of this multiyear research are directed toward the investigation of mesoscale circulation dynamics in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. With the advent of Supercomputers and increasing necessity of resolving the flow with enough details, a hydrodynamic numerical model of the East China Sea has been developed with resolution of 1/15$^{\circ}$latitude by 1/12$^{\circ}$longitude covering the entire continental shelf. As a first step M$_2$tidal regime representing the domanant tidal conditions of the shelf was computed. Preliminary results are presented and discussions for further developments are presented.

We present a code which identifies individual clouds in crowded region using IMFORT interface within Image Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF). We define a cloud as an object composed of all pixels in longitude, latitude, and velocity that are simply connected and that lie above some threshold temperature. The code searches the whole pixels of the data cube in efficient way to isolate individual clouds. Along with identification of clouds it is designed to estimate their mean values of longitudes, latitudes, and velocities. In addition, a function of generating individual images (or cube data) of identified clouds is added up. We also present identified individual clouds using a $^{12}CO$ survey data cube of Galactic Anticenter Region (Lee et al. 1997) as a test example. We used a threshold temperature of $5\sigma$ rms noise level of the data With a higher threshold temperature, we isolated subclouds of a huge cloud identified originally. As the most important parameter to identify clouds is the threshold value, its effect to the size and velocity dispersion is discussed rigorously.

A two-dimensional numerical tidal model is formulated to reproduce tides in the northeastern Yellow-Sea, Seohan Bay. The model was formulated on spherical grid system with mesh resolution of 1' latitude by 4/3' longitude. As a first step, tidal distribution of four major tidal constituents are computed and compared with coastal observation. Independent tidal charts for the M$_2$, S$_2$, $K_1$, and $O_1$ tides were presented. Residual tidal currents and tidal energy flux were also computed.

In this paper, we present an algorithm that quickly and effectively estimates orthogonal vanishing points in equirectangular images of urban environment. Our algorithm is based on the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) algorithm and on the characteristics of the line segment in the spherical panorama image of the $360^{\circ}$ longitude and $180^{\circ}$ latitude field of view. These characteristics can be used to reduce the geometric ambiguity in the line segment classification as well as to improve the robustness of vanishing point estimation. The proposed algorithm is validated experimentally on a wide set of images. The results show that our algorithm provides excellent levels of accuracy for the vanishing point estimation as well as line segment classification.

This study was conducted in seven metropolitan cities in south korea containing Seoul and Busan etc and used DevC++ language program in the process to get datas of the distance ratio between apartment houses by the length of time accepting sunshine during the day time. Basically by inputting information such as a certain date, longitude, latitude etc, it was possible to get outputs of the length of shadow. This study obtained the data from the model experiment and computer programs which analysis of the sunshine environment. As mentioned above, by analysing relations between sunshine-ralated laws in each cities and those influential factors, it is possible to suggest the fundamental data of distance ratio between apartment houses when designing a new building with more optimized way.

Flight control design for the autonomous waypoint navigation of aircraft is presented in this study. The waypoints are defined in terms of desired longitude and latitude. The control design is conducted in longitudinal and lateral directions, respectively. The lateral control is based upon coordinated turn strategy for which no sideslip is allowed under the turning maneuver. The longitudinal control is mainly focused on altitude hold during navigation. Neural network control approach is applied to the altitude-hold mode control. Simulation of the proposed control strategy has been performed under various conditions. A graphical simulation tool was developed to visually demonstrate the control technique developed in this study. A method to simulate the gas turbine transient behavior is developed. The basic principles of the method.
