Satellite radar interferometry data shows a strong coherent signal on oyster sea farms where artificial structures installed on the bottom. We obtained 21 highly coherent interferograms from eleven JERS-1 SAR data sets despite of large orbital baseline (~2 km) or large temporal baseline (~l year). The phases observed in sea farms are probably induced by double bouncing on sea surface, and consequently reveal a tide height variation. To restore the absolute sea level changes we counted the number of wrapping by exploiting the intensity of backscattering. Backscattering intensity is closely correlated with the change in water surface height, while interferometry gives the detailed variation within the limit of 2$\pi$ (or 15.3 cm). Comparing the radar measurements with the tide gauge records yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and an ms error of 6.0 cm. The results demostrate that radar interferometry is promising to measure sea level.

This study presents future potential sea level change over the seas surrounding Korea using Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 9 model ensemble result from Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), downloaded from icdc.zmaw.de. At the end of 21st century, regional sea level changes are projected to rise 37.8, 48.1, 47.7, 65.0 cm under RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5 scenario, respectively with the large uncertainty from about 40 to 60 cm. The results exhibit similar tendency with the global mean sea level rise (SLR) with small differences less than about 3 cm. For the East Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the southern sea of Korea, projected SLR in the Yellow Sea is smaller and SLR in the southern sea is larger than the other coastal seas. Differences among the seas are small within the range of 4 cm. Meanwhile, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) data in 23 years shows that the mean rate of sea level changes around the Yellow Sea is high relative to the other coastal seas. For sea level change, contribution of ice and ocean related components are important, at local scale, Glacial Isostatic Adujstment also needs to be considered.

기후변화 등으로 해안 침수 등의 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 피해를 줄이기 위해 해양을 지속적으로 모니터링하기 위한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해수면의 변화를 모니터링하기 위한 조위 센서에 적용할 수 있는 조위 예측 모델을 제안한다. 기존의 조위 예측 모델은 장기적인 예보를 위한 것으로 많은 데이터와 복잡한 알고리즘이 필요하다. 반면, 제안하는 알고리즘은 조위 센서에 탑재되어 동작할 수 있는 간단하지만 정확한 알고리즘으로, 센서에 의해 측정된 데이터를 기반으로 한 시간 또는 두 시간의 비교적 짧은 시간 후의 조위를 예측한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 간단하지만 정확하게 조위를 예측하는 것을 보여준다.

Gaemok, the place name of Uihang-ri, Sowon-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungnam, indicates a tombolo. This study estimated the Holocene sea level change and development process of the coastal landforms of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos in the Uihang coast. The tombolos seemed to form at approximately 3.4 ka and the average sea level at that time was estimated to be higher than that of the present by ca. 1 m. The Gaemok area was a separated island from the Taean peninsula during the Holocene Climatic Optimum. At approximately 3.4 ka when the sea level rose again after the fall, the Gaemok area was tied to the land by formation of the Gaemok and Hwanyeong Tombolos. The falling or fluctuating sea levels after 3.4 ka have shaped the present coastal landforms.

The East Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea with shallow straits in the northwest Pacific, is marked by the nearly geographic isolation and the low sea surface salinity during the last glacial maximum (LGM). The East Sea might have the only connection to the open ocean through the Korea Strait with a sill depth of 130 m, allowing the paleo-Tsushima Water to enter the sea during the LGM. The low paleosalinity associated with abnormally light $\delta^{18}O$ values of planktonic foraminifera is interpreted to have resulted from river discharge and precipitation. Nevertheless, two LGM features in the East Sea are disputable. This study attempts to estimate volume transport of the paleo-Tsushima Water via the Korea Strait and further examines its effect on the low sea surface salinity (SSS) during the lowest sea level of the LGM. The East Sea was not completely isolated, but partially linked to the northern East China Sea through the Korea Strait during the LGM. The volume transport of the paleo-Tsushima Water during the LGM is calculated approximately$(0.5\~2.1)\times10^{12}m^3/yr$ on the basis of the selected seismic reflection profiles along with bathymetry and current data. The annual influx of the paleo-Tsushima Water is low, compared to the 100 m-thick surface water volume $(about\;79.75\times10^{12}m^3)$ in the East Sea. The paleo-Tsushima Water influx might have changed the surface water properties within a geologically short time, potentially decreasing sea surface salinity. However, the effect of volume transport on the low sea surface salinity essentially depends on freshwater amounts within the paleo-Tsushima Water and excessive evaporation during the glacial lowstands of sea level. Even though the paleo-Tsushima Water is assumed to have been entirely freshwater at that time period, it would annually reduce only about 1‰ of salinity in the surface water of the East Sea. Thus, the paleo-Tsushima Water influx itself might not be large enough to significantly reduce the paleosalinity of about 100 m-thick surface layer during the LGM. This further suggests contribution of additional river discharges from nearby fluvial systems (e.g. the Amur River) to freshen the surface water.

Previous studies have indicated a great regional difference in Sea Level Rise (SLR) in the Pacific and it has been suggested that this is linked to climate variability over the past two decades. In this study, we seek to identify the possible linkage between regional sea level and Pacific climate variability from altimetry-based sea level data (1993-2012) and further investigate how the Pacific sea level has changed spatially and temporally over the past 60 years from long-term sea level reconstruction data (1953-2008). Based on the same method as Zhang and Church (2012), the Inter-annual Climate Index (ICI) associated with the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o-Southern$ Oscillation (ENSO) and the Decadal Climate Index (DCI) associated with Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) are defined and then the multiple variable linear regression is used to analyze quantitatively the impact of inter-annual and decadal climate variability on the regional sea levels in the Pacific. During the altimeter period, the ICI that represents ENSO influence on inter-annual time scales strongly impacts in a striking east-west "see-saw mode" on sea levels across the tropical Pacific. On the other hand, the decadal sea level pattern that is linked to the DCI has a broad meridional structure that is roughly symmetric in the equator with its North Pacific expression being similar to the PDO, which largely contributes to a positive SLR trend in the western Pacific and a negative trend in the eastern Pacific over the two most recent decades. Using long-term sea level reconstruction data, we found that the Pacific sea levels have fluctuated in the past over inter-annual and decadal time scales and that strong regional differences are presented. Of particular interest is that the SLR reveals a decadal shift and presents an opposite trend before and after the mid-1980s; i.e., a declining (rising) trend in the western (eastern) Pacific before the mid-1980s, followed by a rising (declining) trend from the mid-1980s onward in the western (eastern) Pacific. This result indicates that the recent SLR patterns revealed from the altimeters have been persistent at least since the mid-1980s.

태풍으로 인한 폭풍해일은 주로 여름철에 발생하는데, steric 효과 특성으로 하계에는 연평균 해수면보다 높은 해면이 나타나 이들의 복합적 효과를 고려한 해안 저지대의 월파범람 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 하계에 발생하는 태풍해일 및 월파범람 취약성 해석을 위해 서남해안에 위치한 인천, 군산, 목포, 서귀포에서 관측된 1시간 간격의 기압과 조석 자료를 분석하였다. 여름철 평균 해수면 상승은 연평균 해수면 상승보다 서해안에서 약 20 cm, 남해안에서 15~20 cm 높게 나타난다. 해수면 상승 변화는 계절적 해면기압 변화와 밀접하게 연관되어 있는데, 1.58~1.73 cm/hPa의 범위에 있다. 이들의 상호 기작에서 한 달 또는 그 이상의 위상차가 발생한다. 해수면 상승 이외에 18.6년 장주기 조석 성분의 변화에 의해 2090년에 $M_2$ 분조의 진폭이 서남해안에서 최대값을 갖는 것으로 나타난다. 따라서 지구 온난화 및 해수면 상승과 관련된 목표 연도를 2090년에 맞춰서 분석할 필요성이 있다. 해수면 변화에 영향을 주는 연평균 해수면 상승, 하계 해수면 상승, 그리고 nodal factor 변동에 의한 복합적 효과와 100년 빈도 해일고를 고려한 월파 침수 범람을 모의한 결과 부산 수영만 일대 대부분이 월파에 의한 침수 범람이 발생하는 것으로 나타난다. 아울러 마린시티에서 최근 발생한 태풍 차바에 의한 월파량 보다 2090년에 2배 이상 증가되는 것으로 나타나기 때문에 월파범람 위험성에 대한 대비책을 마련할 수 있는 적절한 연안 설계가 필요하다.

The present study was conducted to investigate te effect of sea tangle and hypoglycemic agent(Metformin) on lipid peroxidation and antioxidants levels in normal and diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed AIN-76 based experimental diets containing 5% (w/w) cellulose or 15%(w/w) sea tangle for 3 weeks, and then rats of diabetic groups were rendered diabetic by intramuscular injection of streptozotocin(STZ, 45mg/kg BW). After induction of diabetes Metformin(350mg/kg BW) was given once a day using a feeding tube for 5 days. Blood glucose level in diabetic rats fed sea tangle was significantly lower than that of diabetic rats fed cellulose. Metformin feeding resulted in further lowering blood glucose. Plasma and liver microsomal levels of lipid peroxides were increased significantly in diabetic rats as compared to normal rats, and the plasma level tended to be decreased by sea tangle feeding. Plasma level of retinol was reduced by STZ treatment, but it was increased by Metformin feeding in diabetic rats fed sea tangle. The liver contents of retinyl plamitate were reduced in diabetic rats but recovered by sea tangle feeding to some extent. Liver contents of total vitamin A were increased significantly by sea tangle in diabetic rats. Although difference in either plasma or liver level of $\alpha$-tocopherol by diet and STZ treatment was not significant, $\alpha$-tocopherol levels were the highest in the group with simultaneous feeding of sea tangle and metformin. Liver contents of zinc and copper were not influenced by either STZ treatment or sea tangle feeding. The present study indicates that the lowering blood glucose level could be attained by simultaneous trial of sea tangle diet and hypoglycemic agent and the increased oxidative stress caused by STZz treatment could be relieved by sea tangle feeding.
