Summary:In order to clarify the relationship of water quality and flow between the mouth and the head of Tokyo Bay, several long term continuous observation data are compared. According to the current observation at the mouth of Tokyo Bay, estuarine circulation is dominant throughout the years. Especially in September and October the circulation is larger because of rain fall. Oceanic water intrudes into the lower layer of the center of Tokyo Bay and forms the warmer water layer in winter (cooler water layer in summer). Such intruded oceanic water is transported from the center to the head of Tokyo Bay by the wind driven upwelling.
