Ocean climate variables ($1900{\sim}2005$), time series of catches ($1910{\sim}2005$) and body size data were used to assess the year-to-year and decadal scale fluctuations in abundance of the fish populations (Japanese sardine, anchovy, jack mackerel, chub mackerel, Pacific saury and common squid) that have spawning grounds in the East China Sea and its adjacent regions. A negative correlation between the abundance of pelagic fishes (e.g. jack mackerel) in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) region and the Kuroshio-Oyashio Current (KOC) region was attributed to the climatic modulation of larval transport and recruitment, which depends on the winter monsoon-induced drift, current systems, and spawning season and site. The changes in abundance and alternation of dominant fish populations in the two regions in the 1930s, 1970s, and late 1980s mirrored changes in the climate indices (ALPI, AOI and MOI). Oscillations in the decadal climate shifts between the two regions led to zonal differences in larval transport and recruitment, and hence differences in the abundance of the pelagic fish populations. During deep Aleutian Lows, as in the 1980s, larval transport from the East China Sea to the KOC region increases in association with the strong winter Asian monsoon, cool regime and increased volume transport of the Kuroshio Current systems, whereas during a weak Aleutian Low (as in the 1990s), larval transport to the TWC region increased in association with a weak winter Asian monsoon, a warm regime, and increased volume transport of the Tsushima current system. We postulate that the increased chub mackerel abundance in the TWC region and the decreased abundance in the KOC region in the 1990s are partly attributed to changes in recruitment and availability to the fishing fleets under the warm regime in the spawning and nursery grounds in the East China Sea in association with the quasi-steady state of mild winter monsoon in the 1990s. The fluctuations in chub mackerel and jack mackerel abundance are under the environment-dependant growth form, although the tropicalization was identified in the TWC region. The density-dependant growth form was found in Japanese sardine populations, but no tropicalization by fishing was identified in the long ($10{\sim}15$ year) periods of abundance despite their short ($3{\sim}4$ year) generation time, suggesting that the environment-dependant growth form drove the changes in abundance. Year-to-year and decadal scale variations in abundance and population structure of the Pacific saury responded to climate regime shifts (1976/1977, 1988/1989), suggesting that the fish is a key bio-indicators for changes in the ecosystem.

표층 수온의 이상 고수온 현상인 해양열파는 해양생태계, 수산업, 기상 현상 등 인간 활동 및 해양 생물들에게 광범위하게 영향을 미치기 때문에 많은 해양학자들의 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여름철 동중국해의 해양 물성 변화를 유발하는 중요한 원인인 양자강 희석수 분포가 해양열파에 미치는 영향에 대해서 살펴보았다. 동중국해 표층 염분 분포는 6~8월에 양자강 희석수의 동쪽 확장으로 인해 제주도 및 대한해협까지 희석수의 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었고, 9월에는 양자강 희석수가 양자강 하구역에 제한적으로 존재하는 형태를 보여주었다. 여름철 해양열파 누적강도를 Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) 분석을 통해 분석하였다. EOF 첫번째 모드의 고유벡터와 주성분 시계열을 추출하여 양자강 희석수와 상관관계 분석을 실시한 결과, 양자강 희석수로 인해 염분이 낮은 해역과 해양열파 누적강도가 강하게 나타나는 해역의 공간 상관성이 매우 높은 음의 상관관계를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 이는 희석수로 인한 성층 강화가 해양열파의 강도 및 지속성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 본 연구결과는 한반도 연근해 해양열파 발생에 있어서 대기변화와 해양 환경이 모두 중요한 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

동해에서 CDOM의 광학적 특성과 순환을 이해하기 위하여 MODIS의 원격탐사반사도($R_{rs}$)를 이용한 기존의 CDOM 흡광계수 추정 알고리즘들(Semi-Algorithms (3개), Empirical-Algorithms (3개))을 현장관측 자료와 비교 평가하였다. 2009년부터 2011년까지 총 7번의 현장 관측 자료는 연안 해역에서부터 외양의 다양한 해양환경을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구 결과, 동해에서 Quasi-Analytical Algorithm (QAA_v5) 이 현장 $a_{CDOM}$(412) 값을 가장 유사하게 추정하였다. Quasi-Analytical Algorithm (QAA_v5) 알고리즘을 기준으로 Semi-analytical 알고리즘은 과소추정하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 Empirical 알고리즘은 과대추정하는 경향을 보였다. $a_{CDOM}$(412)의 값이 높은 곳에서 위성관측 엽록소-a (Chlorophyll-a)의 값도 높았다. 이 결과는 CDOM이 엽록소-a의 함량 추정에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한다. 본 연구 결과는 세계최초 정지궤도 해색위성인 GOCI의 CDOM 알고리즘을 개선하는데 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

The more deeply the researches make progress in ocean researches including the seabed resource investigation or the oceanic ecosystem investigation, the more important the role of UUV gets. In case of study on the deep sea, there are difficulties in telecommunications between AUV and ships, and in data communication and recharging. Therefore, docking is required. In AUV docking system, the AUV should identify the position of docking device and make contact with a certain point of docking device. MOERI (Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute), KORDI has conducted the docking testing on AUV ISIMI in KORDI ocean engineering water tank. As AUV ISIMI approachs the docking device, there is some cases of showing an unstable attitude, because the lights which is on Image Frame are disappeared. So we propose the docking algorithm that is fixing the rudder and stem, if the lights on image frame are reaching the specific area in the Image Frame. Also we propose the new docking device, which has a variety of position and light number. In this paper, we intend to solve the some cases of showing an unstable attitude that were found in the testing, which, first, will be identified the validity via simulation.

Mesozooplankton biomass including total biomass and size-fractionated biomass and the abundance of major taxonomic groups of copepods were studied in the Northwestern Subtropical Pacific Warm Pool (NSPWP) and the Northern East China Sea (NECS) from 2006 to 2014. Mesozooplankton biomass ranged from 0.69 to $3.08mgC/m^3$ (mean $1.12mgC/m^3$) in the NSPWP and from 10.60 to $69.10mgC/m^3$ (mean $30.33mgC/m^3$) in the NECS with higher values in spring than fall. Percent composition in the biomass of each size group of mesozooplankton varied interannually both in the NSPWP and in the NECS. The smallest size group (0.2~0.5 mm) contributed the least to total biomass in both regions, but significantly higher in the NSPWP than in the NECS. The percent composition in abundance of copepod taxonomic groups (i.e. Calanoida, Cyclopoida, and Poecilostomatoida) also fluctuated interannually. Mean composition of calanoid copepods was higher in the NECS than in the NSPWP, but the opposite pattern was observed for poecilostomatoid copepods. Mesozooplankton biomass both in the NSPWP and in the NECS was negatively correlated with Oceanic $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ Index (ONI), indicating declines in biomass during El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods and vice versa during Na $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ period. The effect of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ on variation of mesozooplankton biomass was more prominent in the NSPWP than in the NECS. These results suggest that mesozooplankton biomass both in the NSPWP and in the NECS responded to El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ events, although the biological process that explain the reduced mesozooplankton biomass might be different in both regions.

The first Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard its Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is scheduled for launch in 2008. GOCI includes the eight visible-to-near-infrared (NIR) bands, 0.5km pixel resolution, and a coverage region of 2500 ${\times}$ 2500km centered at 36N and 130E. GOCI has had the scope of its objectives broadened to understand the role of the oceans and ocean productivity in the climate system, biogeochemical variables, geological and biological response to physical dynamics and to detect and monitor toxic algal blooms of notable extension through observations of ocean color. The special feature with GOCI is that like MODIS, MERIS and GLI, it will include the band triplets 660-680-745 for the measurements of sun-induced chlorophyll-a fluorescence signal from the ocean. The GOCI will provide SeaWiFS quality observations with frequencies of image acquisition 8 times during daytime and 2 times during nighttime. With all the above features, GOCI is considered to be a remote sensing tool with great potential to contribute to better understanding of coastal oceanic ecosystem dynamics and processes by addressing environmental features in a multidisciplinary way. To achieve the objectives of the GOCI mission, we develop the GOCI Data Processing System (GDPS) which integrates all necessary basic and advanced techniques to process the GOCI data and deliver the desired biological and geophysical products to its user community. Several useful ocean parameters estimated by in-water and other optical algorithms included in the GDPS will be used for monitoring the ocean environment of Korea and neighbouring countries and input into the models for climate change prediction.

기후 변화는 기후를 구성하는 대기, 해양, 생물, 육지 등의 다양한 구성 요소에 작용하여 자연 생태계와 인간의 사회 경제 활동에 큰 영향을 미친다. 기후 변화의 영향을 예측하고 방어대책을 마련하는 것은 변화된 기후에 적응하기 위한 중요한 연구가 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 IPCC(Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change)에서 개발된 RCP 4.5 시나리오를 이용한 낙동강 권역의 강우-유출 탄성도 분석을 실시하였다. 제어적분 200년의 남한 상세 기후변화 시나리오를 수집하여 낙동강 권역에 대해 강우량을 산정하고, Tank 모형을 통해 산정된 유출량을 2가지 시나리오(계절, 연별)로 추출하여 탄성도 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 우리나라의 기후가 2100년까지 매우 습한 형태 초기 1.129 (0.851~1.523), 중기 1.075(0.756~1.302), 후기 1.043(0.882~1.325)의 기후로 변해 갈 것이라고 예상 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 기후 변화에 따른 수자원 관리 및 효율적인 수리구조물 적용 방안 및 변화된 기후에 대한 빠른 적응에 대한 연구에 활용 할 수 있을 것이다.

Complex physical, chemical and biological interactions off the Korean coast created several striking patterns in the phytoplankton blooms, which became conspicuous during the measurements of ocean color from space. This study concentrated on analyzing the spatial and temporal aspects of phytoplankton chlorophyll variability in these areas using an integrated dataset from a Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Advanced Very High Resolution (AVHRR) sensor, and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor. The results showed that chlorophyll concentrations were elevated in coastal and open ocean regions, with strong summer and fall blooms, which appeared to spread out in most of the enclosed bays and neighboring waters due to certain oceanographic processes. The chlorophyll concentration was observed to range between 3 and $54\;mg\;m^{-3}$ inside Jin-hae Bay and adjacent coastal bays and 0.5 and $8\;mg\;m^{-3}$ in the southeast sea offshore waters, this gradual decrease towards oceanic waters suggested physical transports of phytoplankton blooms from the shallow shelves to slope waters through the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the Tsushima Strait. Horizontal distribution of potential temperature $(\theta)$ and salinity (S) of water off the southeastern coast exhibited cold and low saline surface water $(\theta and warm and high saline subsurface water $({\theta}>12^{\circ}C; S>34.4)$ at 75dBar, corroborating TWC intrusion along the Tsushima Strait. An eastward branch of this current was called the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), tracked with the help of CTD data and satellite-derived sea surface temperature, which often influenced the dynamics of mesoscale anticyclonic eddy fields off the Korean east coast during the summer season. The process of such mesoscale anticyclonic eddy features might have produced interior upwelling that could have shoaled and steepened the nutricline, enhancing phytoplankton population by advection or diffusion of nutrients in the vicinity of Ulleungdo in the East Sea.

Although giant and large fish species are highly important as a keystone species in the marine ecosystem, there have been no or few studies on their spatio-temporal variations around the Korean peninsula. For this, we analyzed daily reports made by observers at 57 fishery landing sites in Korea over 6 years, from 2011 to 2016. In total, 153 fish species were re-identified based on photos and descriptions recorded by Korean observers, of which five species were classified as a giant fish over 5 m in maximum total length (MTL) and 17 species as a large fish from 3 m to 5 m MTL according to the data presented by Froese & Pauly (2021). Among the giant and large fish species, Mola mola was the most abundant species, with 75 individuals landed as by-catch. The second most abundant species was Isurus oxyrinchus (31), followed by Mobula mobular (23), Lamna ditropis (17), Masturus lanceolatus (16), Sphyrna zygaena (14), and Prionace glauca (12). As a result of cluster analysis based on the number of individuals of giant and large fish species by year and sea, six years were separated into two clusters (2011-2013 vs. 2014-2016), with high contribution of M. mola, I. oxyrinchus, and M. lanceolatus; and three seas were separated into two clusters (eastern + southern seas vs. western sea), with high contribution of M. lanceolatus, L. ditropis, and I. oxyrinchus. The largest number of M. mola accounted for 64% of the total in 2014 and 2016, and 71% in summer (June-August). It is assumed to have a correlation between seawater temperature fluctuation and the occurrence of giant and large fish species. Our study highlights importance of longterm monitoring of giant and large fish species, and can help to understand the life cycle such as natal or nursery migration of giant and large fish species around the Korean peninsula.
