Continuous observation of density (water temperature and salinity), horizontal velocity and turbidity was performed in a brackish lake, Lake Shinji. Response of velocity field and mixing events in the bottom layer of the lake were observed during a severe storm passage. In the former period just after the strong wind started to blow, active entrainment was observed, while in the latter period, weaker entrainment was found accompanied with circulations separately developed in the upper and lower layers due to the wind set-up of the density interface. Turbidity maximum during the latter period suggests that a large amount of resuspension occurred due to wave motion even under stratified conditions.
