Abstract
Sanbanse is a shallow coastal region consisting of tidal flats located in the inner areas of Tokyo Bay. Since most of the shallow areas in Tokyo Bay have been lost to land reclamation projects, Sanbanse is a precious example of natural tidal flats. If Sanbanse were to be reclaimed, local temperatures would likely increase due to an increase in the distance from the ocean which has a moderating effect on local climate. This study presents the findings of an environmental impact assessment of the heat characteristics of the Sanbanse area to examine the possible effects of reclamation based on field measurements, remote sensing, and numerical simulations.
