This paper is concerned with an investigation of the water exchange mechanism of the Miyako Bay by using remote sensing. As a part of Sanriku coastal zone remote sensing observation project, Miyako Bay has been observed repaetedly for the last 7 years. Nowaday we have collected 13 sets of MSS image date attached with coincidents sea truth data for different seasons and under different tidal conditions. Those data were analyzed from various view points.
In the paper with the same title of part 1, the project activity, results of regression analyses between imaged data and sea truth data, and interpretation for water exchange mechanism in Spring time are described.
In this part 2, water exchange mechanisms in other seasons are described. According to a specific topographical shape of the bay, Miyako Bay has several variations of water exchange mechanisms depending upon the temporal conditions of tide, wind, and coastal current. Remote sensing is very effective for the observation of surface water behavior.
