Abstract
Wind has an important role in the behavior of lake current. In this study, the field measurement of wind and currentdistribution was performed simultaneouslyin Lake Suwa. The results proved the spatially nonuniformity of winddistribution over the lakeand counterclockwise horizontal water circulation in the lake when the strong north-west wind was observed. It was examined the effect of spatially non-uniform wind on the lake currentusing a quasi 3-D numerical model by comparingwith the calculation result when the spatially uniform wind allover the lake was assumed. In result, the horizontal water circulation obtained by the fieldmeasurement was recognized byconsideringthe measured wind distribution. This showed that spatially nonuniformity of wind distribution had a great influence on the movement of lake current.
