| Research Abstract |
Short-term variations in the residual currents in the Ariake Sea, which is a semi-enclosed basin located southwestern part of Japan, are investigated though intensive field campaigns and numerical experiments. Regardless of season, lateral shear dominates at spring tide and vertical shear is intensified at neap tide. The density-driven current dominates the overall structure of the residual current. The Ekman number is the dominant parameter that controls the overall structure of the density-driven current, indicating that the magnitude of the tidal mixing is the most important factor that controls the structure of the density-driven current. The current structure is not sensitive to the Kelvin number, which suggests the bay width is not a constraint on the density-driven current.
