Abstract
Fifteen day records of current velocity, water temperature and salinity were obtained at a coastal station in the Seto Inland Sea. It was observed that water movement was characterized by an exchange of two distinctive water masses east and west of the station. Cross-correlation analysis shows that, at the semi-diurnal period, the motion of these characteristic waters causes temperature and salinity variations. At frequencies higher than 2 cycles per day where power spectra of current velocity have a slope of −5/3, coherence between current velocity and both water temperature and salinity decreases rapidly.
