Quality control of Argo(Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography) data is crucial by reason that salinity measurements are liable to experience some drift and offset due to biofouling, contamination of sensor and wash-out of biocide. The automated Argo real-time quality control has a limit of sorting data quality, so that WJO program is adopted as standardized method of Argo delayed mode quality control (DMQC) in the world that is a precise quality control method. We conducted DMQC on pressure, temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats in the Pacific Ocean including expert evaluation. Particularly, salinity data were corrected using WJO program. 4 salinity profiles of Argo delayed mode were compared with nearby in situ CTD data and other Argo data in deep layer where oceanographic conditions are stable in time and space. The differences of both salinities were lower than target accuracy of Argo. As compared with the difference of salinities before DMQC, those after DMQC decreased by 60-80 percent. Quality of delayed mode salinity data seemed to be improved correcting salinity data suggested by WJO program.

Competitive power of pelagic fishery in Korea has been weakened by the domestic and international problems such as wage increase and exclusive economic zone. To make it worse, fishing fleet spends more than 80% of fishing time on searching fishing grounds. Real-time information on oceanographic data, temperature in particular, are likely to contribute to raise efficiency of fishing. However, available data obtained by satellite remote sensing, fixed buoy and drifting buoy, limited to sea surface or fixed positions. ARGO (Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography), an international program, has delivered vertical profiles of temperature and salinity in the upper 2000 m of the world ocean every 10 days using freely moving floats. We have developed real-time oceanographic information system for pelagic fishery based on the Argo data which has the contents of vertical profile, horizontal distribution and vertical section of temperature around fishing grounds and searched data can be download unrestrictedly. Comparison of skipjack catch with sea surface temperature and depth of 20℃ derived from Argo data in the West Equatorial Pacific revealed that Argo data are able to help fishing fleet to find fishing grounds and to increase catch.

Chemical, physical md microbial analysis of salted baechu(Chinese cabbage) and its exudate were conducted during storage in large plastic bags(LDPE, HDPE, PVC-box) at 0. Salinity was slightly lowered for 2 weeks storage and maintained that level thereafter in salted haechu, but in its exudate increased rapidly for 2 weeks storage and decreased thereafter. In all treatment pH decreased to 5.0 in salted baechu and to 4.5 in its exudate for 6 weeks storage. Reducing sugar content of salted baechu was 1.5∼2.0 fold higher than that of its exudate, and decresed slowly in both. Total viable cells increased rapidly for 2 weeks but maintained that level thereafter and lactic acid bacteria increased continuously until 6 weeks. Lightness of exudate decreased rapidly in PVC-box, but decreased slowly in LDPE. Compression force of salted baechu increased continuously untill 8 weeks except for PVC-box.
