Song, M.-S.; Yun, H.-S.; Kim, T.-W., and Cho, J.-M., 2017. Algae inflow monitoring using satellite images for the process control of the Gijang desalination plant in Busan, South Korea. In: Lee, J.L.; Griffiths, T.; Lotan, A.; Suh, K.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), The 2nd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 79, pp. 159–163. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Climate change has recently been taking place due to the sudden rise of water temperature resulting from global warming and the red tides adversely affected the seawater desalination plant directly or indirectly every year. Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) occur if the perishable organic pollutants, minerals, and growth stimulating substances are abundantly dissolved in the water and if solar radiation, water temperature, salinity, and other environmental conditions are met. Once the algae are agglomerated by the wind and tide, high-density red tide occurs. This may also cause damages to the desalin...

Kim, T.-W.; Kim, J.-H.; Song, M.-S., and Yun, H.-S., 2017. Convergence technique study on red tide prediction in the littoral sea. In: Lee, J.L.; Griffiths, T.; Lotan, A.; Suh, K.-S., and Lee, J. (eds.), The 2nd International Water Safety Symposium. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 79, pp. 254–258. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Active research has been conducted on tracking red tides by combining remotely sensed satellite images and numerically predicted ocean currents. Recent ocean observing satellite images have low spatial resolution and temporal limitations. Such convergence technologies are developed to overcome these shortcomings. Chollian, which is the world's first oceanographic satellite capable of observing ocean surface in a “geostationary orbit”, can detect the current expansion and intensity of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). This Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) can combine HABs patch with tidal current to predict where the bloom will travel on the Korea...
