Overview
Observed data for flow filed, water quality, sediment and biological parameter in Onagawa Bay will be analyzed in an integrated manner. To clarify spatial variation of wind field in Onagawa Bay, continuous observation of wind direction and speed will be conducted. To examine spatial distribution of seagrass and seaweed beds, we will take a picture of sea surface along coastline with drone.

Investigation Item and Data Acquisition

Investigation ItemData Acquisition
Wind direction and speed10 min-interval wind direction and speed (Wind direction and speed are measured with WDL-02 (Mistral) )
Aerial imagesAerial images of sea surface taken by drone
