Executive Summary | Field observations were carried out in Banzu intertidal flat in Tokyo Bay throughout two days in the summer of 2000,in order to clarify the spatio-temporal fluctuations of water quality during a tidal cycle. Concentrations of DO, ON (TN-DIN) or OP (TP-PO4-P) at the offshore station were higher than those at the onshore station, whereas DIN and PO4-P had an inverse trend, during submergence. During flood tides, an abrupt increase in the concentrations of DIN and PO4-P was observed around a shoreline. |
