해수-담수 염도 차 발전을 위한 압력지연삼투(pressure-retarded osmosis: PRO) 시스템의 나권형(spiral wound) 모듈에서 공급채널과 유도채널 사이의 입구 압력차의 영향이 수치적으로 연구되었다. 그리하여 막을 통한 물과 용질-플럭스들의 변화와 전력이 예측되었다. 막을 통한 물-플럭스의 크기는 두 채널 간 입구 압력차가 증가할수록 x축 방향으로 감소하고 y축 방향으로 증가하였다. 반면에 막을 통한 용질-플럭스의 크기는 반대의 경향을 보였다. 공급채널 내 유체의 농도는 y축 방향으로 크게 증가하였고, 유도채널 내 농도는 x축 방향으로 크게 감소하였다. 본 시스템에서 입구 압력차가 1~11 atm일 때 공급채널 내 유량은 8~13% 가량 감소하였고, 유도채널 내 유량은 그만큼 증가하였다. 전력밀도는 입구 압력 차가 증가할수록 증가하다가 감소하였다.

Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) has attracted much attention as potential technology to reduce the overall energy consumption for reverse osmosis(RO) desalination. The RO/PRO hybrid process is considered as the most logical next step for future desalination. The PRO process aims to harness the osmotic energy difference of two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. By using the concentrated water(RO brine) discharged from existing RO plants, the PRO process can effectively exploit a greater salinity gradient to reduce the energy cost of processing concentrated water. However, in order to use RO brine as the draw solution, PRO membrane must have high water flux and enough mechanical strength to withstand the high operational pressure. This study investigates the development of a thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on the overall power density was studied using the characteristic factors of PRO membranes. Finally, the performance test of an 8-inch spiral wound module was carried out under various operating conditions(i.e. hydraulic pressure, flow rate, temperature). As the flow rate and temperature increased under the same hydraulic pressure, the PRO performance increased due to the growth of water permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure. For a high performance PRO system, in order to optimize the operating conditions, it is highly recommended that the flow pressure be minimized while the flow rate is maintained at a high level.

Seasonal variations of various physicochemical components (temperature, salinity, pH, DO, COD, DOC, nutrients-silicate, DIN, DIP) and potential limiting factor for phytoplankton primary production were studied in the surface water of semi-enclosed Masan Bay. Seasonal variations of nutrient concentrations, with lower values in summer and winter, and higher in fall, are probably controlled by freshwater loadings to the bay, benthic flux and magnitude of occurrence of phytoplankton communities. Their spatial distributional patterns are primarily dependent on physical mixing process between freshwater and coastal seawater, which result in a decreasing spatial gradient from inner to outer part of the bay. In the fall season of strong wave action, the major part of nutrient inputs (silicate, ammonium, dissolved inorganic phosphorus) comes from regeneration (benthic flux) at sediment-water interface. During the summer period, high Si:DIN and Si:DIP and low DIN:DIP relative to Redfield ratios suggest a N- and secondarily P-deficiency. During other seasons, however, silicate is the potential limiting factor for primary production, although the Si-deficiency is less pronounced in the outer region of the bay. Indeed, phytoplankton communities in Masan Bay are largely affected by the seasonal variability of limiting nutrients. On the other hand, the severe depletion of DIN (relatively higher silicate level) during summer with high freshwater discharge probably can be explained by N-uptake of temporary nanoflagellate blooms, which responds rapidly to pulsed nutrient loading events. In Masan Bay, this rapid nutrient consumption is considerably important as it can modify the phytoplankton community structures.

The effects on photosynthesis of NaCl(0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 M) were examined in etiolated barley seedlings. Chlorophyll(Chl) a, Chl b and carotenoid contents, Chl a fluorescence and quenching coefficients of Chl fluorescence have been determined in the primary leaves of etiolated barley seedlings cultivated under low light(60 $\mu$㏖ $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). Chl a, b, and carotenoid contents were decreased remarkably in comparison with the control at 0.4 M NaCl. However, the value of Fo and Fv were decreased at 0.6 M NaCl and the ratio of Fv/Fm were deceased at 1.0 M NaCl. Chlorophyll synthesis was seriously inhibited from 0.4 M NaCl, and the photosynthetic electron transport system was inhibited from 0.6 M NaCl. Quantum of photosystem II reaction center was inhibited at 1.0 M NaCl. The effects of NaCl on the Chl content were raised in a 6 hrs, but the effects of NaCl on the value of Fo, Fv and Fv/Fm were raised in 30 hrs. The value of qP was decreased in comparison with the control at all concentrations, but there was a small change in the value qE. These results provide evidence that NaCl inhibited effects of various concentration of NaCl were inhibited quinone redox, however, proton gradient between thylakoid membranes was little damaged.

Background: Han River estuary is a national wetland reserve near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between South Korea and North Korea. This trans-boundary estuary area has been well preserved and shows distinctive plant communities along the salinity gradient. To elucidate energy flows and nutrient cycling in this area, we studied trophic relations between the dominant sesarmid crab, Sesarma dehaani, and food sources in three wetlands with different environments along the estuarine gradients. Results: Stable isotope signatures (${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$) of the crabs were significantly different among the sites and body size classes. Seasonal changes in ${\delta}^{13}C$ of small crabs were distinct from those of large individuals at all the sites. The isotopic values and fatty acid profiles of the crabs were more different among the sites in September than in May. In May, large-sized crabs utilized more plant materials compared to other dietary sources in contrast to small-sized crabs as revealed by a stable isotope mixing modeling, whereas contributions to diets of crabs were not dominated by a specific diet for different body size in September except at site 1. Based on PCA loadings, fatty acid content of $18:3{\omega}3$, known as a biomarker of plant materials, was the main factor to separate size groups of crabs in May and September. The ${\delta}^{13}C$ value of sediment had high correlation with those of small-sized crabs at site 1 and 2 when 1-month time lag was applied to the value for crabs during the surveyed period. Conclusions: Based on the stable isotope and fatty acid results, the consumption habits of S. dehaani appear to be distinguished by sites and their size. In particular, smaller size of S. dehaani appears to be more dependent on fewer food sources and is influenced more by the diet sources from the sediments in Han River estuary.

The vertical distribution and activity patterns of fishes during the evening and morning transitions between day and night were studied acoustically and by bottom trawling in November 1990-1992 in thermally stratified waters of the East China Sea. The acoustic data were collected from six stations with a scientific echo-sounder operating at two frequencies of 25 and 100kHz, and the echograms were used to determine the vertical distributions of fish. Biological sampling was accomplished by bottom trawling to identify fish species recorded on the echograms, and the species and length compositions were determined. At each station, vertical profiles of water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were taken with a CTD system and were related to the diel movements and the depth distributions of fish. During the day most fish were within several meters above bottom, but began to migrate upwards just before sunset, and during the night they were dispersed in midwater. Prior to sunrise with a thermocline present, one group of the fish aggregation occurred in dense schools slightly above the thermocline, while the other group occurred with the numerous single fish-traces bellow it. These groups of aggregations rapidly began to migrate toward the bottom across the thermocline from about 40 min before sunrise. Trawl hauls in the bottom strata below the thermocline with the characteristic single fish traces yieled invariably catches dominated by snailfish and fishing frog with minor quantities of other species in all stations. Hence, the results indicate that snailfish and fishing frog were the dominated scatterers in the depth strata below the thermocline, and the single-fish recordings were mainly snailfish. The fish species such as anchovy and juvenile mackerel in bottom trawl catches is poorly represented in relation to the mesh selectivity of the trawl net, but their occurrence suggest that the fish-school recording above the thermocline were due to these species which migrated vertically across the thermocline, with a temperature gradient of about 8$^{\circ}C$, from the water layers near the bottom at night. Accordingly, we conclude that the vertical distribution and activity patterns of snailfish were strongly temperature dependent and in the termally stratified waters, the upper limit to diel activity was closely linked to the position of the thermocline.

북대서양 자오면 순환(AMOC)은 그린란드 부근에서 고밀도 해수의 침강으로 유도되는데, 이것은 열과 물질을 수송시키기 때문에 기후 시스템의 중요한 요소이다. 이 연구는 전 지구 기후모델 중 하나인 HadGEM2-AO 모델에서 모의된 AMOC의 특징과 장기변동 메커니즘을 분석하였다. AMOC 지수를 이용한 지연 상관 분석을 통해 AMOC의 수십 년 변화는 해양 자체유지 변동으로 간주할 수 있었다. 즉 AMOC의 장기 변화는 남북 수온 경도와 해양 순환의 위상차로 인해 발생하는 불안정성에 의한 것으로 분석되었다. AMOC가 강해지면서 열의 북향 수송에 의해 남북 수온 경도가 작아지고, 따라서 해수의 순환과 열 수송이 줄어드는데, 이와 함께 고위도에서는 냉각이 유도되어 결과적으로 다시 AMOC가 강해지게 된다. 이 메커니즘은 저위도로부터 이류되는 열의 양에 따라 고위도 지역의 밀도 변화가 결정되기 때문에 AMOC의 변동을 염분 유도가 아닌 열적 유도 과정으로 이해할 수 있다.

1989년 10월, 진해만에서 수괴의 물리화학적 요인과 관련된 플랑크톤의 미세분포와 군집구조를 micro-scale 관측을 통하여 분석하였다. 부도수도 내측에는 비교적 온난, 저염의 성층화된 수괴(stratified waters)가 존재하였으며, 풍부한 클로로필양과 영양염류가 관찰되었다. 식물플랑크톤의 생물량과 영양염류는 부도수도의 내측과 외측에서 현저한 변화를 보였다 외만성 혹은 해양성의 식물플랑크톤(Chaetoceros decipiens, Rhizosolenia stolterforthii, Rhizosolenia styliformis, and Ceratium trichoceros)과 동물플랑크톤(Sagitta enflata, Oncaea venusta and Oikopluera longicaudata)은 부도수도 외측의 혼합된 수괴(mixed water)에서만 관찰되었다. 이는 부도수도해역의 정점 3과 4사이에서 염분과 영양염류의 구배에 따른 불연속층(discontinuous layer)이 존재하고 있음을 암시하며, 이 불연속층이 플랑크톤 군집분포에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 부도수도 내측에서는 클로로필양이 $80{\mu}g/l$ 이상인 식물플랑크톤 Patchs가 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 식물플랑크톤 bloom시, 높은 동화율에 의한 silicate 고갈은 이 지역에서의 식물플랑크톤 bloom 소멸의 원인으로 추정된다.
