Observation of tidal and ocean current around Mishima Island in the western Japan Sea
Mishima Island of Hagi City,Yamaguchi Prefecture, is located to the east of the Tsushima Strait in the Japan Sea, where the tidalrange is not large. In the past surveys, it was noted that the measured current speed was larger than estimated tidal current. Since then, ocean and tidal current observations have not been conducted in detail. Therefore, observations using ADCP and mooring current meters were conducted from June to September, 2011. This report presents the results of these observations.The weak tidal current at Utsu was observed in a southeast−northwest direction. However, The tidal current at Honmura was east−west flowing at twice the speed of the current at Utsu. It was found that there is a northward current to the northwest area off Mishima Island, and a remarkably noteworthy current in the northwest and southwest areas of the island.
