IN SITU MEASUREMENT ON COASTAL CURRENT CHARACTERISTIC AND WATER QUALITY DYNAMICS IN MINAMATA BAY Izaya Tateyama*, A Tada, S Yano, A Matsuyama, Y Ohbuchi * Graduate Student, Graduate school of Science and Technology

Introduction Small amount of mercury remains in bottom mud of Minamata Bay. Recent measurement result (Tomiyasu et al., 2000) has shown that mercury is spreading around the center and southern parts of Yatsushiro Sea from Minamata Bay. In order to elucidate the mercury dynamics accurately in a coastal area, it is necessary to measure mercury transport in an actual sea.

Outline of field observation Current observation using ADCP In order to reveal a three-dimensional structure of tidal currents during spring tide in Minamata Bay, the current observation using ADCP was performed. Current measurements were collected 4 times during one tidal cycle. the 2nd of December in 2002 the 29th of July in 2003 Minamata Bay M-1 ， M-9 and M-10 M-1-M-10 and F-1

Observation on various water quality indexes Measurement on the vertical profiles of SS and Total-Hg in SS by water sampling These observations were carried out at three Stations (No.3, No.6 and No.11) once every four weeks Outline of field observation

It is realized that the eddy becomes weak in the direction of sea bottom to a depth of 7 m at least. the maximum current velocity of ebb tide in the 29th of July in 2003 Distance(m) Depth(m) Distance(m) Depth(m)

Conclusion A topographic eddy was generated in the northern part of Minamata Bay at the maximum current velocity of ebb tide in summer because the northern mouth of Minamata Bay is very narrow. The most dominant tidal constituent in Minamata Bay is M 2 tide. The major axes of M 2 tidal ellipses in winter correspond to the direction of ENE- WSW at Station No.6. It is found out that the turbidity measured in summer is higher than the one in winter.
