Research InformationPeriod and Interval2012/09/01 - 2013/03/31
Research Area
CategoryMooring system(Observation buoy)
OverviewIn order to clarify the three-dimensional flow structure in Otsuchi Bay and its changes, ultrasonic current meters and water temperature / salinity meters will be moored at a maximum of 6 locations in Otsuchi Bay.
The obtained data will be used as basic information for nutrient transport, etc., and will also be used as verification data for the flow model / ecosystem model.
