Abstract: In this paper, a water quality prediction model which takes into account current and water quality in an enclosed coastal sea is developed and its applicability is examined. The model consists of flow and water quality submodels. It calculates tidal residual current and river inflow using a grid-type numerical scheme and seasonal change of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, zooplankton, orthophosphorus, organic phosphorus, total phosphorus and dissolved oxygen using a box model. As the result of the model application to Tokyo Bay, seasonal change of state variables for eutrophication such as nutrients was simulated well and the validity of the model was verified.
