In order to examine the wind-driven circulation in Ise Bay, wind distribution in the surrounding region of Ise Bay is examined with reference to its seasonal and daily variations. The wind data during 1987-1996 are observed by AMeDAS of the Japan Meteorological Agency. It is shown that the northwesterly monsoon wind from the Eurasian Continent dominates from November to April in the following year. The northwesterly wind is the strongest in the surrounding region of Ise Bay; its intensity increases in the downstream direction. The northwesterly wind suddenly weakens in May. In summer, a southerly sea breeze together with the divergence over the Ise Bay relatively dominates around Ise Bay. Daily change is also found in the northwesterly wind in winter and southerly sea breeze in summer. The northwesterly wind is relatively strong during the daytime and weak during the nighttime. The summer see breeze in the western and northern surrounding region of Ise Bay has a maximum peak during the daytime, while the duration of the southerly wind is relatively long in the western region of Ise Bay and no prominent peak in its intensity is detected.
