A response in movement of a two-layered water body in Lake Nakaumi to a strong wind, which suddenly rose and continued for 15 h with nearly constant speed and direction, was observed using the current and salinity meters situated at two points in the lake. At the initial stage of water movement, large fluctuations in current velocity in reverse directions were observed in the upper and lower layers, accompanied by mixing between the two layers. At the stationary stage following the initial stage, current velocities in the upper and lower layers were kept constant, as was salinity. It was considered that a slab-type flow, which enhanced mixing between the two layers, occurred at the initial stage in water movement, then changed into a steady circulation flow at the stationary stage with completion of the set up in the two-layered structure.
