Abstract
Dynamics of hypoxia and freshwater plume are analyzed using the data acquired by Constant Water Quality Monitoring System in Osaka Bay. At Yodo river mouth where estuarine circulation prevails, occurrence and duration days of hypoxia are lower than in the eastern bay where large scale hypoxia occurs. Dissolved oxygen concentrations (DO) increase rapidly corresponding to bottom currents off Kobe port and Osaka port. In river flood condition, sediment flux from the river accounts for large part of total annual sediment flux. Bottom DO concentrations off Kobe port increase in river flood conditions because estuarine circulations are enhanced.
