Figure 32.2 shows the bathymetry of the Tokyo Bay, Japan and observation sites. Figure 32.3 shows dissolved nutrients at the two stations and variations of river discharge.Station 1 is located near the river mouth in the west side of the Tokyo Bay. Station 2 is located at the head of the bay about 15 km from the river mouth. From these figures, the timing of the high nitrate and phosphate concentration in the surface layer coincides with increases in the river discharge. Phosphate concentration showed less temporal fluctuations than nitrate and the decrease in phosphate corresponds with the increase of chlorophyll a. This is more similar at Stn. 2 than Stn. 1. Since Stn. 1 is closer to the river mouth, it has relatively small variations in the consumption by phytoplankton compared with Stn. 2.
