본 연구에서는 하계 냉수대 발생과 관련하여 2007년 6월과 8월의 현장 및 위성에서 관측한 NOAA 해양표면수온과 SeaWiFS 해색 영상 및 QuikScat 자료를 이용하여 동해 남부해역의 수온과 클로로필 a 농도의 단기 변동과 바람을 살펴보았다. 특히, 동한난류 해역의 수온과 Chl-a의 공간적인 분포에 주목하였다. 현장관측 자료의 분석 결과, 울산 부근의 연안용승이 발생 이전인 6월의 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 전체 조사 정점에서 50m 층에 보였고, 8월의 그 피크는 육지에 근접한 정점 4와 5에서는 10m 그리고 그 외 정점은 30m 층에 나타났지만 정점 5를 제외하고 그 농도는 6월보다 낮게 나타났다. 결과적으로, 클로로필 a 농도의 피크는 농도 차이는 있지만 8월이 6월보다 20-40m 얕은 층에 형성되었고, 이것은 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 연안용승으로 하부층의 영양염 공급 등과 관계하는 것 같다. 위성관측 수온과 클로로필 a 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보였고, 냉수가 발생한 곳에서 클로로필 a 농도는 고농도를 나타내었다. 또한, 남풍계열의 바람에 의한 영향과 동한난류의 이안은 연안에서 발생한 냉수와 Chl-a 등을 외해로 이동시키는 역할을 하였다.

본 연구는 우이도 해안사구식생의 군락구분과 분포, 그리고 생육지 환경의 생태적 특성을 밝힘으로써 해안 사구식생의 관리, 보존 및 복원에 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사는 Braun-Blanquet(1964)의 식물사회학적 방법에 의하여 실시하였다. 우이도의 사구식생은 순비기나무군락, 왕잔디군락, 보리사초군락, 갯쇠보리군락, 띠군락, 좀보리사초군락, 갯메꽃군락, 모래지치군락, 그리고 배후식생으로 상록침엽수림인 곰솔군락의 총 9

석탄회는 독특한 화학조성과 광물학적 특성을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 석탄회의 철산화광물에는 중금속원소들이 다량 농집되어 있어서 침출이 일어나는 환경에서는 토양과 지하수 및 해양오염의 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 해안가에 위치한 당진화력 발전소에서 배출하고 있는 석탄회와 주변 해수와의 반응과정에서 토착 미생물이 어떤 역할을 하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 해수와 석탄회를 혼합하여 배양기에 60일 동안 보관하면서 물시료와 석탄회 시료를 분석함으로써 박테리아의 활동에 따른 광물의 상변화 및 해수의 지화학적 변화 정도를 살펴보았다. 매립호수에서 해수의 평균 pH는 8.97이다. 지화학적 변화 결과에 비추어 볼 때, 박테리아의 활동은 실험 시작 7일 이후부터 급격하게 활성화되었다. SO42-는 글루코스를 첨가한 시료에서 다른 처리방식에 비해 현저하게 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다. 매립호수에 서식하는 박테리아는 주로 Mn, Fe, Zn와 반응하여 매립호수로부터 금속이온을 제거시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 탄산염 광물을 형성하는 과정에서 이산화탄소를 고정시킬 수 있는 역할도 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

정치성 구획어업 개발예정지의 해양환경특성을 조사하기 위하여 2001년 8월과 11월 2회에 걸쳐 해양관측이 실시되었다. 관측결과 수온은 마산만에 비해 진동 내 외만 및 서부해역이 8월에는 2℃, 11월에는 약 0.7℃ 정도 놀게 나타났다. 염분은 진동만 서부 해역의 표층 염분농도가 가장 낮았고 진동만과 마산만으로 갈수록 점점 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 마산만 부근해역이 상대적으로 저온 고염을 나타내며, 진동만 서부해역과 진동 내 외만은 고온 저염으로 나타났다. 부유물질의 농도를 살펴보면, 8월의 경우 진동 내만에서 부유물질의 농도가 15mg/L 이상으로 높았다. 11월에는 진동 내만에서 외만으로 갈수록 농도가 마산만의 경우는 내해에서 외해로 갈수록 낮아지는 역 현상을 보였다. 화학적 산소요구량(COD)의 농도는 만산만에서 7mg/L로 가장 높게 나타났다.

The coastal water is a space where salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), critical energy-conveying mediator, stay to adapt to different environments while traveling between ocean and river ecosystems for spawning and growth. The mid-eastern coast of Korea (MECW) is the southern limit of salmon distributed in the North Pacific Ocean. Understanding the distribution and migration characteristics of salmon in the MECW is important for the prediction of changes in the amount and distribution of salmon related to changes in the future marine environment. We analyzed the relationship between the salmon migratory timing ascending the Wangpi river and change in vertical seawater temperature and tidal elevation. Overall results highlight that (1) Salmon began to ascend the river when the sea surface water temperature (SST) decreased below 20°C; (2) The number of salmon ascending the river increased when the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers decreased, but decreased when the temperature difference was higher than 5°C; (3) The number of salmon ascending the river peaked, when the SST was 18°C-19°C and sea levels rose at high tide. This study provide important insight into predicting changes in the ecosystem energy circulation through climate change at its southern distribution limit.

The characteristics of time changes in air temperature, DI (discomfort index) and WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) were investigated for inland city (daegu) and coastal city (pohang) of Gyeongbuk Province during the 2018 consecutive heat wave season. The time when the temperature dropped below 33℃ was around 19h in both regions. As such, the two regions were similar with respect to the time up to which the heatwave warning levels continued. However, the discomfort index (DI) was higher than 27 in Pohang. Most people feel unpleasant when an discomfort index of 27 or higher appears. The results indicated that Korea's night-time thermal environment during the summers is particularly poor in the southern coastal areas. WBGT began at 09:00 and lasted until 21:00, with a score of 31 or higher; this score, in principle, corresponded with the duration of outdoor activity in both regions. Therefore, it was found that outdoor work was at a level where all day long had to be stopped in both areas during the heat wave. Although time changes in temperature and WBGT were similar in both regions, Discomfort Index (DI) differed significantly. The difference refers to the fact that Pohang is strongly affected by the high heat capacity effect and the supply of water vapor from the sea.

Sea gulls are high trophic level consumers in the coastal environment, and thus, which have been widely used to monitor contamination biomagnified through a food web. However, such monitoring studies using sea gulls have been rare in the Korean literature. The National Environmental Specimen Bank chose eggs of a black-tailed gulls (Larus crassirostris) to serve as an environmental specimen for the long-term monitoring of the coastal ecosystem affected by terrestrial pollutants. Black-tailed gull eggs were collected from Baengnyeongdo, Hongdo and Uleungdo, and their DDTs and total mercury content were determined. The highest concentration of ΣDDTs was 231.6±106.1 μg/kg wet in Baengnyeongdo, followed by 230.0±123.8 μg/kg wet in Ulleungdo, and 117.7±18.3 μg/kg wet in Hongdo. In addition, total mercury was detected at 414.5±97.6 μg/kg wet in Ulleungdo, 363.9±123.6 μg/kg wet in Hongdo, and 237.5±42.3 μg/kg wet in Baengnyeongdo. Relatively high concentrations of the target pollutants were recorded in specimens from Ulleungdo. Additional comprehensive and prolonged studies are required to elucidate spatial and temporal patterns of contamination in black-tailed gull eggs with regard to monitoring contaminant trends in eggs and prey.

동해연안지역의 벼 생육부진 및 수량감소의 주된 요인분석을 위하여 해안으로부터 1, 2,3, 5 km의 4개 지점의 기상, 토양 및 벼 생육반응을 조사 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 해안거리별 일 평균기온은 차이가 거의 없었으나, 냉수대 출현에 따른 냉해풍 발생시 온도변화는 뚜렷하여 5km에서보다 1 km지점에서 8℃ , 2 km지점 7℃ , 3 km지점 4℃ 까지 온도가 낮아졌으며 냉해풍은 하루에도 수차례 발생하였음. 2. 해안거리별 토양특성은 해안에 가까울수록 모래성분이 많고 미사 및 점토성분은 적었으며, 양이온 치환용량이 적어서 작물이 비료성분을 섭취할 수 있는 흡착력이 낮아졌음. 3. 해안에 가까운 재배지역일수록 초장은 작아지고 경수는 적었으며, 출수기는 3～4일 지연되었고, 벼 건물중 및 임실율은 낮아졌음. 4. 수량은 5km보다 1 km지점에서 27～36% 감수되어, 해안에 가까운 재배지역일수록 감수폭이 더 컸으며, 주된 감수요인은 주당수수의 감소가 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤고, 해안 2 km지점에서 90%이상의 수량성을 나타낸 품종은 냉해풍지역의 적응품종인 삼덕벼였음.

Numerical simulation is essential to indicate the flow of the atmosphere in the region with a complicated topography which consists of many mountains in the inland while it is neighboring the seashore. Such complicated topography produces land and sea breeze as the mesoscale phenomenon of meteorology which results from the effect of the sea and inland. In the mesoscale simulation examines, the change of the temperature in relation to the one of the sea surface for the boundary condition and, in the inland, the interaction between the atmosphere and land surface reflecting the characteristic of the land surface. This research developed and simulated PNULSM to reflect both the SST and vegetation effect as a bottom boundary for detailed meteorological numerical simulation in coastal urban area. The result from four experiments performed according to this protocol revealed the change of temperature field and wind field depending on each effect. Therefore, the lower level of establishment of bottom boundary suitable for the characteristic of the region is necessary to figure out the atmospheric flow more precisely, and if the characteristic of the surface is improved to more realistic conditions, it will facilitate the simulation of regional environment.

This study is to integratedly examine coastal management policy and marine tourism development project for Korean coasts, especially for the South Sea of high development pressure, presenting sustainable tourism development policies for the future. To do so, it is examined central government-level coastal development projects set up by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the Ministry cf Construction and Transportation, setting the direction of south coastal management and tourism development at a level of national territory planning. The problems of coastal management first and then the problems of the South Coast Tourism Belt Project are analyzed in order to present political and administrative alternatives. To overcome such problems and make Korea a marine tourism base in East Asia, there is a need for re-recognition of the value of the project and its continuous push through cooperation between central and local governments. Also, under the presupposition of consensus building among local people and the sustainable development of environments, there should be are-recognition that the future cf Korean marine tourism in the 21st-century and the success of an inverted π-axis national development depend on the South coastal Tourism Belt Development Project.
