  • 최근 동해상의 일본 서해안을 포함한 태평양 연안의 지진대에서 큰 규모의 해저지진에 의한 지진해일이 자주 발생하고 있다. 지진해일은 수심이 깊은 대양에서 파고가 대략 수 m인데 반해 파장은 수십에서 수백 km에 달하는 장파로서, 선단파는 수심에 비례하여 매우 빠르게 이동할 수 있다. 따라서 지진해일은 인접국가 뿐만 아니라 발생지역으로부터 매우 먼 지역까지 전파하여 해안에 심각한 범람으로 인한 인명 및 재산피해를 일으킨다. 이러한 지진해일의 피해를 효율적으로 저감하는 방법은 해안지역을 따라 지진해일 재해정보도를 제작하고, 지역주민들에게 이를 배포하여 사전에 위험성을 알리고 지진해일 발생시 피해를 최소화할 수 있도록 대비하는 일이다. 지진해일 재해정보도는 과거의 지진해일 피해조사 결과와 계획된 시나리오를 바탕으로 만들어져야 하며, 실제 지진해일이 급습할 경우 주민들의 대피계획을 만드는 데 유용하게 사용된다.

  • 지난 20년간(1998-2017년) 한국해양학회지(바다)와 한국수산과학회지에 실린 한글 논문 중 우리나라 주변 바다 이름을 지도에 표기한 논문들을 대상으로 그 표기 방법을 살펴보았다. 지도에 표기된 바다 명칭들의 형태는 크게 세 가지 - 'East Sea(동해)와 Yellow Sea(황해)', 'East Sea(동해), Yellow Sea(황해), South Sea(남해)', 'East Sea(동해), West Sea(서해), South Sea(남해)' - 가 있다. 'East Sea'는 모든 논문에서 'East Sea'로 표기된 반면, 'Yellow Sea'는 'West Sea'와 혼용해서 사용되고 있었다. 'Korea Strait(대한해협)' 대신 'South Sea'의 사용 빈도도 높았다. 이 결과는 연구자들이 해안선으로부터 가까운 연안해역을 우리나라를 기준으로 지리적 방위에 근간하여 부를 때 사용하는 바다 명칭과 주변해에 대한 국제적인 바다 명칭을 혼용하여 사용하고 있음을 보여 준다. 따라서 우리나라 해양 수산 연구자들이 바다 이름표기에 관한 기준을 세우고 일관성 있게 표기하는 것이 시급하다. 이와 관련하여 이 연구에서는 연구논문 작성 시에 주변해와 우리나라 연안해역에 대한 바다 명칭을 서로 구분하여 사용할 것을 제안하였다. 즉, 주변해는 국제적으로 통용되고 있는 'East Sea(동해)', 'Yellow Sea(황해)', 'Korea Strait(대한해협)', 'East China Sea(동중국해)'로 사용하고, 이들 주변 바다에 포함되어 있는 연안해역은 우리나라를 기준으로 상대적 방위에 근거한 'Coastal Sea off the East Coast of Korea(한국 동쪽 연안 바다)', 'Coastal Sea off the West Coast of Korea(한국 서쪽 연안 바다)', 'Coastal Sea off the South Coast of Korea(한국 남쪽 연안 바다)' 등으로 표현할 수 있다. 다른 표현으로는 'East Korea Coastal Zone', 'South Coastal Zone of Korea', 'West Korea Coastal Zone'으로도 표현할 수 있다. 작은 규모의 특정 해역의 경우 해양지명(해상지명과 해저지명)을 사용하여 연구해역을 표기할 수 있다.

  • Major differences between wind speeds from atmospheric pressure maps (Na wind) and near­surface wind speeds derived from satellite scatterometer (NSCAT) observations over the East (Japan) Sea have been examined. The root­mean­square errors of Na wind and NSCAT wind speeds collocated with Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) buoy winds are about $3.84\;ms^{-1}\;and\;1.53\;ms^{-1}$, respectively. Time series of NSCAT wind speeds showed a high coherency of 0.92 with the real buoy measurements and contained higher spectral energy at low frequencies (>3 days) than the Na wind. The magnitudes of monthly Na winds are lower than NSCAT winds by up to 45%, particularly in September 1996. The spatial structures between the two are mostly coherent on basin­wide large scales; however, significant differences and energy loss are found on a spatial scale of less than 100 km. This was evidenced by the temporal EOFs (Empirical Orthogonal Functions) of the two wind speed data sets and by their two­dimensional spectra. Since the Na wind was based on the atmospheric pressures on the weather map, it overlooked small­scale features of less than 100 km. The center of the cold­air outbreak through Vladivostok, expressed by the Na wind in January 1997, was shifted towards the North Korean coast when compared with that of the NSCAT wind, whereas NSCAT winds revealed its temporal evolution as well as spatial distribution.

  • Forestry education in vocational high schools is one of the fundamental keys for achieving sustainable forest management. However, support systems for forestry education have not been well developed in Japan. Forest research institutes, which have accumulated relevant information, should have sufficient ability to develop new educational programs in this field. This study examined the possibility of support systems for forestry technical education by a research institute. Educational programs for vocational high schools were developed, and the programs were examined for their practical applications through a workshop for these teachers. We set the following five requirements for the programs: They should 1) incorporate new contents related to sustainable forest management, 2) be based on forestry education textbooks, 3) meet recent demands of the schools and society, 4) allow participants to learn through actual practice and experience, and 5) utilize readily available teaching materials. With these criteria, we developed the following two educational programs: (a) Forest management program to teach advanced techniques, (b) A timber-program to teach about biomass resources. The workshop was held on July $28^{th}$, 2007 with ten teachers attending. The programs were very interesting, who gave them high average evaluation of 4.6 on a scale of 1 to 5. Only a few issues need to be resolved before classroom instruction can begin, such as making wood structure easier to understanding for some teachers, and obtaining base maps of school forests. In conclusion, forest research institutes can effectively support forestry education by providing and implementing programs based on scientific information.

  • The Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory is crucial for obtaining data on carbon sinks, necessitating accurate estimations. This study analyzes cases of countries applying the LULUCF sector at the Tier 3 level to propose enhanced methodologies for carbon sink estimation. In nations like Japan and Western Europe, satellite spatial information such as SPOT, Landsat, and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)is used alongside national statistical data to estimate LULUCF. However, in Korea, the lack of land use change data and the absence of integrated management by category, measurement is predominantly conducted at the Tier 1 level, except for certain forest areas. In this study, Space-borne LiDAR Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) was used to calculate forest canopy heights based on Relative Height 100 (RH100) in the cities of Icheon, Gwangju, and Yeoju in Gyeonggi Province, Korea. These canopy heights were compared with the 1:5,000 scale forest maps used for the National Inventory Report in Korea. The GEDI data showed a maximum canopy height of 29.44 meters (m) in Gwangju, contrasting with the forest type maps that reported heights up to 34 m in Gwangju and parts of Icheon, and a minimum of 2 m in Icheon. Additionally, this study utilized Ordinary Least Squares(OLS)regression analysis to compare GEDI RH100 data with forest stand heights at the eup-myeon-dong level using ArcGIS, revealing Standard Deviations (SDs)ranging from -1.4 to 2.5, indicating significant regional variability. Areas where forest stand heights were higher than GEDI measurements showed greater variability, whereas locations with lower tree heights from forest type maps demonstrated lower SDs. The discrepancies between GEDI and actual measurements suggest the potential for improving height estimations through the application of high-resolution remote sensing techniques. To enhance future assessments of forest biomass and carbon storage at the Tier 3 level, high-resolution, reliable data are essential. These findings underscore the urgent need for integrating high-resolution, spatially explicit LiDAR data to enhance the accuracy of carbon sink calculations in Korea.

  • Molecular clouds are the sites of stellar birth, and conditions within the clouds control the mode and tempo of star formation. In particular, turbulence largely determines the density and velocity fields, and can affect the gas kinetic temperature as it decays via shocks. However, despite its central role in star formation and many years of study, the properties of turbulence remain poorly understood. As a part of the TRAO key science program, "Mapping turbulent properties of star-forming molecular clouds down to the sonic scale (PI: Jeong-Eun Lee)", we mapped the northern region of the Orion A molecular cloud and the L1688 region of the ${\rho}$ Ophiuchus molecular cloud in 2 sets of lines (13CO 1-0/C18O 1-0 and HCN 1-0/and HCO+ 1-0) using the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) 14-m telescope. We analyze these maps using a python package 'Turbustat', a toolkit which contains 16 different turbulent statistics. We will present the preliminary results of our TRAO observations and various turbulence statistical analyses.
