Influence of the Kuroshio Meander/Straight on Flow in the Seto Inland Sea

Abstract: が知られている 1),2),3),4) . 海洋に囲まれたわが国においては, 閉鎖的な内湾域の水環境も何らかの外洋水の影響を受け ており 5),6) ,沿岸環境の保全や自然再生には内湾規模の水 理現象に加えて外洋起源の水理現象による影響を明らか にする必要がある.一方,沿岸での異常潮位の発生とわ が国南方を流れる黒潮の関係も指摘されており 7) , 防災対 策においても地球規模の水理現象が沿岸域に及ぼす影響 の明確な位置づけが必要となっている 8) . 特に黒潮はわが国南岸の海洋環境にとって重要な役割 を果たしている.黒潮は低緯度地方から暖められた海水 を日本近海に輸送するとともに,地衡流の力学的特性に よって黒潮域の水位が高いため,その離接岸はわが国沿 岸の水位を左右する.その上,黒潮は蛇行と直進(大蛇行 と非大蛇行)の安定流路 9) を有していることが広く知られ ており,約 20 年周期で変動している 10) .このため,黒潮 の流況がわが国沿岸域の流れや水質に及ぼす影響を明ら かにすることの意義は大きい. 瀬戸内海は紀伊水道および豊後水道を通じて太平洋と 接続しており(図-1),外洋との海水交換は重要な水質 … Show more

“…However, the utilized dispersion and diffusion coefficients have never been validated by field observation. Recently, Komai et al [6] estimated the rate of Kuroshio intrusion through the Bungo and Kii Channels by coupling a Seto Inland Sea model for the depth-averaged (barotropic) current with a Kuroshio model that covers the area north of the Kuroshio stream axis and south of Shikoku and satisfies the geostrophic balance. Open boundary conditions were imposed on the Kuroshio stream axis with onshore-offshore shifts using the sea level and density data provided by the Japan Coast Guard (JCG).…”
