Introduction
Abstract
Tokyo Bay is located approximately at the center of the Japan archipelago, its mouth opening to the Pacific Ocean, as shown in Figure 1.1 . Although Tokyo Bay is located in the temperate zone, between 35 and 36°N, it is significantly affected by the warm Kuroshio current that flows along the southern coastline of the Japan archipelago.
