Abstract

This paper discusses field observation and model results for temperature and salinity in Myojin-ike, a group of saline lake. Myojin-ike is itself composed of three smaller interconnected basins, the largest of which is connected to the sea of Japan. Water temperature and salinity observed 0.5m and 3.0m below water surface showed abrupt variations like a step function during November to December 1985. This phenomenon is investigated in relation to the water movement in the lake.
