AVISO 19 satellite altimetry data and OFES (OGCM for the Earth Simulator) results indicate that the variation 20 propagates clockwise from Japan's east coast through the Tsushima Strait into the Japan/East Sea (JES) 21 and then northward along the west coast. In this study, we hypothesize and test numerically that the sea 22 level variability along the west coast of Japan is remotely forced by the Kuroshio Extension (KE) off the 23 east coast. Topographic Rossby waves and boundary Kelvin waves facilitate the connection. Our 3-d 24 POM model when forced by observed wind stress reproduces well the seasonal changes in the vicinity 25 of JES. Two additional experiments were conducted to examine the relative roles of remote forcing and 26 local forcing. The sea level variability inside the JES was dramatically reduced when the Tsushima Strait 27 is blocked in one experiment. The removal of the local forcing, in another experiment, has little effect on 28 the JES variability.

This AT is caused by a layer of sub-surface gas, which prohibits the identification of geological structures below that gas layer. Sound speeds were measured directly in these sediments using the Acoustic Lance (AL) in both mid- and late-September 1999. In situsoundspeeds obtained in mid-September varied between 1400 and 1550 m/s, and thus did not confirm the presence of gas within the top 3.5 m of the seafloor. However, signal waveforms suggested that a gassy layer might have been just below the depth penetrated by the Lance.

Korean Traditional Food: Status, Prospects and Vision for Globalization
KOREAN TRADITIONAL FOOD: STATUS, PROSPECTS AND VISION FOR GLOBALIZATION Dong-Hwa Shin Faculty of Biotechnology Chonbuk National University 664-14 Dukjin-Dong, Jeonju 561-756 Korea ABSTRACT This Bulletin describes the unique properties and diversity of Korean traditional food, as well as some prospects and directions for its future development as an industry. Traditional foods are prepared with the use of ingredients unique to a particular area and people. They are considered as historic food, and are transferred from generation to generation with some local variations. Korean traditional food can be classified based on the ingredients used: rice products as staple food, beverages, vegetables, fish, and fruits. Traditional foods using meat are very limited. Other classifications are based on production methods, such as steamed foods (almost all of the grain products), puffed foods, brined foods, and fermented foods. Traditional foods are used more as seasonal and banquet food or for religious ceremonies rather than as staple food, but it has become popular as a delicacy food in recent years. Korean traditional foods have not been given enough attention for a long time, but recent domestic consumption has gradually increased in view of people’s recognition and consciousness of such products as health foods. The food culture of Korea has also caught the interest of other countries through the export of traditional food. Traditional food has been developed on the basis of unique techniques from each country, and efforts to export them are now expanding. Hence, it is now considered a competitive product, what with its unique materials and production techniques.

Phylogeography Reveals an Ancient Cryptic Radiation in East-Asian Tree
Dufresnes et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:253 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0814-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogeography reveals an ancient cryptic radiation in East-Asian tree frogs (Hyla japonica group) and complex relationships between continental and island lineages Christophe Dufresnes1, Spartak N. Litvinchuk2, Amaël Borzée3,4, Yikweon Jang4, Jia-Tang Li5, Ikuo Miura6, Nicolas Perrin1 and Matthias Stöck7,8* Abstract Background: In contrast to the Western Palearctic and Nearctic biogeographic regions, the phylogeography of Eastern-Palearctic terrestrial vertebrates has received relatively little attention. In East Asia, tectonic events, along with Pleistocene climatic conditions, likely affected species distribution and diversity, especially through their impact on sea levels and the consequent opening and closing of land-bridges between Eurasia and the Japanese Archipelago. To better understand these effects, we sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear markers to determine phylogeographic patterns in East-Asian tree frogs, with a particular focus on the widespread H. japonica. Results: We document several cryptic lineages within the currently recognized H. japonica populations, including two main clades of Late Miocene divergence (~5 Mya). One occurs on the northeastern Japanese Archipelago (Honshu and Hokkaido) and the Russian Far-East islands (Kunashir and Sakhalin), and the second one inhabits the remaining range, comprising southwestern Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Transiberian China, Russia and Mongolia. Each clade further features strong allopatric Plio-Pleistocene subdivisions (~2-3 Mya), especially among continental and southwestern Japanese tree frog populations. Combined with paleo-climate-based distribution models, the molecular data allowed the identification of Pleistocene glacial refugia and continental routes of postglacial recolonization. Phylogenetic reconstructions further supported genetic homogeneity between the Korean H.

The Naming of the Korea Strait on Old Maps
The Naming of the Korea Strait on Old Maps Bo-Kyung Yang (Director of Korean Institute of Geographical Research, Sungshin Women's University, the Republic of Korea) Preface In addition to naming the East Sea (Sea of Japan), which emerged as a subject of international dispute, the Korea Strait(大韓海峽), off the East Sea coast in the South, is also a matter of intense attention for Korea and Japan as they use different names for the Strait. The Korea Strait, a narrow strait with an average width of about 200km is located between the Southeast coast of Korea and the Japanese islands, linking the Yellow Sea, the South and East Sea, and the East China Sea. The Tsushima Island(對馬島) lies in the center of the Strait and the island is divided into a West channel(東水道) and East channel(西水道). The Korea Strait, which lies between Korea and the Kyushu Island, is about 200km in length and width but the width of the narrowest point extends only about 50km. It is a relatively shallow with a maximum depth of 210m. From ancient times, it has been an important sea route between Korea and Japan. Japan named the Strait ‘Tsushima Strait’ (對馬海峽), sometimes they called the Western part of the Tsushima ‘Korea Strait’ and Eastern part ‘Tsushima Strait’. This article examined the changes of the name of the Strait based on the old maps of Korea, Japan, and Western countries, which were produced between the 16th century and early 20th century. Maps used for analysis are Korean maps owned by libraries and museums and 74 Japanese maps from <Map of Eight Provinces of Korea> produced in 1747 to <Map of Korea> in 1941.
