Some current measurements were carried out inÔsaka Bay to understand the characteristics and causes of fluctuations of the constant flow in the bay. It is shown that the major part of fluctuation of the constant flow inÔsaka Bay is the wind-driven current. The direction of the wind-driven current in the near surface water deflects clockwise through 10 to 30 degrees from the wind direction while in the lower layer the current deflects counterclockwise to that in the near surface water in the eastern half ofÔsaka bay. The speed of the wind-driven current in the near surface water is 0.5 to 1.5 % of the windspeed while that in the lower layer is smaller than that in the near surface water in thisarea.
