This paper describes the influence of water outside a bay on water quality within the bay for a typical enclosed bay with a sill at its mouth. The influence of water outside Ohfunato Bay, Japan was expressed in a one-dimensional vertical dissolved oxygen (DO) model as the rate of seawater exchange caused by tides and the density difference between water inside and outside the bay. A nonhydrostatic, three-dimensional model was used to confirm the occurrence of density intrusions. A one-dimensional vertical DO model was used to examine long-term changes in DO concentrations in the bottom layer of the bay. Results indicated that seawater exchange caused by density differences had a significant effect on the formation and disappearance of anoxic water in the bay’s bottom layer.
