A VERIFICATION FOR TIDAL FLOW SIMULATION OF CLOSED BAY BY USING SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING

Omura Bay in Nagasaki Prefecture, which is called a double-closed bay, is connected with Sasebo Bay through very narrow channels. The authors had applied satellite remote sensing technique to confirm the exchange condition of seawater between these bays. This method is capable of investigating only the surface current. In this paper, the numerical simulation system was improved in order to simulate actual tides by using three-element control function. The results of satellite remote sensing were compared with the outcome of the simulation system. It follows that the results of satellite remote sensing and the outcome of the system corresponded well when the axis of coordinates which is rotated 34 degrees from circles of latitude and longitude and eddy viscosity in the 40m2/s to 60m2/s range were used for the numerical simulation.

Investigation of Sea Water Exchange in the Omura Bay by Satellite Remote Sensing Technique and a Test for Confirming Similarity of a Numerical Simulation System

Man-made perturbation on the environment has resulted in many problems such as eutrophication and sedimentation in water bodies. In recent years, domestic sewage and industrial waste water are having a bad infuluence on water quality, especially, estury and closed bay area. Therefore, water quality controlling and monitoring activities are inevitable.We tried to apply satellite remote sensing techniques to investigate the sea water exchange of the Omura Bay and the Sasebo Bay. Maximum likelihood method was used to classify and confirm the exchange condition of sea water bodies. And also, the result are compared with an outcome of numerical simulation methode by workstation computer.

Investigation of Currents in the Omura Bay by Satellite Observation and Its Comparison with Those in a Hydrogeological Model

In recent years, domestic sewage and industrial waste water are having a bad influence on water Quality of the Omura Bay in Nagasaki prefecture. Therefore it is need to monitor water quality and clean up the Omura Bay. In this paper, sea water of satellite observation are classified into water of the Omura Bay and water of the Sasebo Bay by maximum likelihood method, and currents of the Omura Bay are investigated. And the result are compared with currents in a hydrogeological model of the Omura Bay.
