  • Offshore observation of tsunami and storm surge before arriving to the coast is very important fur coastal disaster prevention. But up to ten years ago, coastal tide stations had been supposed to be the only means to observe tsunami and storm surge profile, fir difficulty of offshore observation (Goda.et.al., 2002). Recently seabed installed coastal wave gauges have been repeatedly reported to successfully observe various tsunami profiles by conducting continuous data acquisition (Goda.et.al., 2001 : Nagai, 2002a; Nagai.et.al, 1996, 2000, 2002b).

  • The grid-based KlneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Modei (Kim, 1998; Kim, et al., 1998) which predicts temporal variation and spatial distribution of saturated overland flow, subsurface flow and stream flow was evaluated at two watersheds. This model adopts the single overland flowpath algorithm and simulates surface and/or subsurface water depth at each cell by using water balance of hydrologic components. The model programed by C-language uses ASCII-formatted map data supported by the irregular gridded map of the GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) GIS and generates the spatial distribution maps of discharge, flow depth and soil moisture of the watershed.

  • Monitoring of wave height is important primarily to reduce storm risks at sea and along the coast. Wave heights in recent years have increased 50% for the last 40 years, thus requiring intensive monitoring. Satellite altimetry offers a powerful tool for regular and extensive monitoring of the wave height. We extracted significant wave height (SWH) using several altimeter missions from 1987-1995 over the Northwest Pacific and compared with ECMWF reanalysis (ERA) products. For large wave heights > 2.5 m, the ERA wave heights are smaller than the altimetric ones, while for small wave heights the ERA wave heights are larger. Comparison in SWH between altimetric derivations and ERA model products shows the discrepancy of 0.46-0.21$\times$SWH(m).

  • Until now, many researches related to Korean Wave were focused on China and Japan. So, this study extend a scope of research about Korean Wave to Uzbekistan. Especially, we focused on relationship of perception on Korean Wave, self-congruity, attitude on Korean entertainment products and attitude on Korean consumer products. In conclusion, the 6 hypotheses were all supported. It was verified that self-congruity and attitude on Korean entertainment products is the very important factor. That is to say, we find that these two factors have a mediating role between perception on Korean Wave and attitude on Korean consumer products. This study's results are can use to raise Korean wave storm in Uzbekistan. Also, companies can use to improve its sale through a our study's results.

  • The structural design requirements of an offshore platform subjected to wave induced forces and moments in the jacket can play a major role in the design of the offshore structures. For an economic and reliable design; good estimation of wave loadings are essential. A nonlinear response analysis of a fixed offshore platform under structural and wave loading is presented, the structure is discretized using the finite element method, wave plus current kinematics (velocity and acceleration fields) are generated using 5th order Stokes wave theory, the wave force acting on the member is calculated using Morison's equation. Hydrodynamic loading on horizontal and vertical tubular members and the dynamic response of fixed offshore structure together with the distribution of displacement, axial force and bending moment along the leg are investigated for regular and extreme conditions, where the structure should keep production capability in conditions of the 1-yr return period wave and must be able to survive the 100-yr return period storm conditions. The result of the study shows that the nonlinear response investigation is quite crucial for safe design and operation of offshore platform.

  • Abnormally high waves occurring at the east coast of korea were observed at five field measurement stations and their characteristics were analyzed with the use of wind data provided by the Korean Meteorological Administration. The high waves occurred because strong Donghae twister that was developed by extratropical cyclone blew while high swell arrived at the east coast of Korea. At Sokcho, the most northern site among the five measurement stations, maximum gust speed was 63.7 m/s and significant wave height reached at its maximum of 9.69 m with the corresponding peak wave period of 12.8 s. The reason for appearance of the abnormally high waves is that high swell continued while the twister blew strongly. Moreover, the wind direction was the same as the direction of swell propagation, which maximizes the increase of wave height due to superposition of swell and wind-generated waves. On the east coast of Korea, outbreak of this type of storm waves is very probable in winter season so that it is requested to establish a countermeasure of minimizing possible damage caused by the storm waves.

  • 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하구역 해역에서의 폭풍 해일의 특성 및 이를 고려한 외해 압사파랑특성을 고찰하고 연안사주 전면의 입사파랑과 퇴적 특성과의 상호 관계를 고찰하였으며 천해역의 파랑변형을 예측할 수 있는 다방향 불규칙파 묘형을 구성하고 폭풍 해일고를 수심조건에 고려함으로써 하구역 해역에서의 파랑 변형계산을 2차원 평면수치모의실험을 수행하였다. 낙동강 하구역에서 서측에 위치하는 진우도 전면해역이 무명도 전면해역보다 약 1.0배에서 2.0배 크게 파고분포를 나타내었다. 이는 입사하는 파랑의 공간 분포가 사주전면에서 공간적으로 차이가 남을 나타내는 것으로 사주의 퇴적작용에 영향을 줄 것이라고 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 격자기반 운동파 강우유출모형 KIMSTORM(grid-based KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model)의 기능을 개선하고 적용성을 평가하는 것이다. KIMSTORM은 김성준(1998)이 개발한 분포형 강우유출모형으로 포화상태의 지표흐름 및 토양수분상태의 시공간적인 분포를 파악할 수 있다. UNIX C++ 언어로 개발되었으며, GRASS 형태의 ASCII Grid를 입출력하도록 구성되어 있는 모형으로 UNIX 운영체제에서 구동이 가능하다. 그러나 UNIX와 GRASS는 최근에 많이 이용되지 않는 추세로 KIMSTORM 모형을 이용한 홍수유출해석이 적극적으로 활용되는데 주요 제약사항이 되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 KIMSTORM을 윈도우즈 환경에서 운영될 수 있도록 FORTRAN 90을 이용하여 재개발하였으며 주요개선 사항으로, ESRI ASCII Grid 형태의 GIS(geographic information system) 자료 입력, 물리적 침투모의 방법인 GAML (Green-Ampt and Mein- Larson) 적용, 공간강우 입력가능, 정렬 알고리즘을 이용한 계산속도의 개선, 모형 자료입력 등 전처리 기능개선, 계산결과의 자동평가 및 분포도출력 등 후처리 방식개선으로 요약할 수 있다. 개선된 모형 GAML에 의한 침투방법을 적용하여, 남강댐유역($2,293\;km^2$)의 6개 강우사상을 대상으로 결정계수, Nash & Sutcliffe 모형효율계수, 용적편차, 첨두유량의 상대오차, 첨두시간의 절대오차를 이용하여 적용성을 평가하였으며, 민감도분석결과 초기토양수분조건과 하천조도계수가 가장 큰 민감도를 나타내었다.

  • When high waves and storm surge strike simultaneously, the characteristics of the fluid field change drastically from overtopping according to the wave runup height to overflow through a transition state that combines overtopping and overflows. However, an estimation model or evaluation method has not yet been established because there is not enough engineering data. This study developed a wave overtopping-overflow transition model based on a full-scale experiment involving wave overtopping and overflow transition, which appropriately reproduced the effect of waves or the temporal change in inundation flow. Using this model to perform a calculation for the wave overtopping and overflow transition process under typical circumstances, this study determined the wave runup height and features of the inundation flow under time series changes as an example.

  • This paper presents results from a wind tunnel study that examined the drag coefficient and wind flow over an asymmetric wave train immersed in turbulent boundary layer flow. The modeled wavy surface consisted of eight replicas of a statistically-valid hurricane-generated wave, located near the coast in the shoaling wave region. For an aerodynamically rough model surface, the air flow remained attached and a pronounced speed-up region was evident over the wave crest. A wavelength-averaged drag coefficient was determined using the wind profile method, common to both field and laboratory settings. It was found that the drag coefficient was approximately 50% higher than values obtained in deep water hurricane conditions. This study suggests that nearshore wave drag is markedly higher than over deep water waves of similar size, and provides the groundwork for assessing the impact of nearshore wave conditions on storm surge modeling and coastal wind engineering.
