Abstract

Field measurements were performed to investigate the effects of Kuroshio Warm Water Intrusion (KWWI) to the mouth of Tokyo Bay on the three dimensional characteristics of currents and material transport in the bay mouth in winter. When KWWI occurs, the bay water with low temperature and low salinity flows toward the ocean in the surface layer, the Kuroshio Warm water with high temperature and high salinity intrudes into the bay in the intermediate layer and the coastal water with low temperature and high salinity flows toward the ocean in the bottom layer. The depth of the KWW intrusions into the bay depends on its density relative to the vertical density profile at the bay. The KWWI transports heat into the bay effectively which is five times as large as the winter-averaged heat flux.
