1. Location of Isahaya Bay Sea-dyke Isahaya Bay Ariake Sound Takezaki Is. ● N Isahaya Bay & Ariake Sound map

■ Big National Project of Isahaya Bay  Purpose: Disaster prevention and land reclamation  Start of Constructing : 1989  Main construction : ① Sea-dyke :about 7 km in length ② Reclamation by drainage: ・ Land development ・・・ about 1,800 ha ・ Regulation pond ・・・ about 1,700 ha Isahaya Bay Regulation pond Honmyo River Sea-dyke 2. Outline of Big National Project of Isahaya Bay

3. Background of This Study ■ In Isahaya Bay,a big project that consists of the construction of sea-dyke and reclamation by drainage reaches the last lap. ■ These caused severe environmental problems such as a change current, eutrophication, oxygen depression and so on. ■ In this study, therefore, field observations on tidal current in the middle of Ariake Sound including the mouth of Isahaya Bay are carried out by means of both DBF ocean radar and ADCP. during autumn in The laver has gone down

4. Outline of Field Observation ■ Three kind of observation method  The current observation using ADCP  The current observation using DBF ocean radar  The vertical distributions of various water quality indexes

4. Outline of Field Observation ・ DBF ocean radar transmits radio waves from land toward the ocean and receives back the radio energy reflected by ocean waves. ・ By analyzing Bragg scattering, the system provides data on directions, velocities and wave height of surface currents. How ocean radar works as observation instrument (1) ADVANTAGES OF DBF OCEAN RADAR

4. Outline of Field Observation (1) ADVANTAGES OF DBF OCEAN RADAR ・ Conventional ocean surveys have conducted by hanging a current meter from a ship into the sea or mooring it in the sea in order to directly measure current directions and velocities at multiple observation spots. ・ With this method, measurements were not possible under adverse weather conditions. Another drawback to it was errors resulting from areal interpolations of point specific data or different measurement times at individual measurement points. ・ In contrast, DBF ocean radar allows remote surveys from land, that is to say, measurements are possible any time regardless of weather conditions. In addition, it can monitor ocean currents over a wide area simultaneously in a short period of time.

5. Results and Discussion (2) Horizontal distribution on velocity vectors of tidal current in surface layer ( ADCP ) At the maximum flood current 1m/s At the maximum ebb current It is obvious that the maximum velocity in flood current and ebb current occur near an offshore where is about 2km out from Kojiro, respectively. These tidal currents are similar to the observation results not only in October 2001 but also in August 2002 (Nakamura et al. 2002, 2003). 5km Isahaya Bay Takezaki Island Kojiro Sea-dike 5km Isahaya Bay Takezaki Island Kojiro Sea-dike

5. Results and Discussion The outflow into Ariake Sound occurred in the northern part of the E-E’ Line. These tidal currents are similar to the observation results not only in October 2001 but also in August 2002 (Nakamura et al. 2002, 2003). 0.5m/s Distance (km) Kojiro Takezaki Is Water depth (m) 1m/s NN Distance (km) Kojiro Takezaki Is.

6. Conclusion in This Study ■ There is outflow into Ariake Sound from Isahaya Bay near Takezaki Island in the best part of one tidal cycle. ■ Tidal current along the north coastline of the Shimabara Peninsula is dominant in Isahaya Bay. ■ DBF ocean radar is one of the powerful remote sensing tools to measure surface currents from lands widely and continuously without being affected by weather conditions.
