Surface circulation and temperature distribution of Southern South China Sea from Global Ocean Model (OCCAM)

Surface circulation and temperature distribution of Southern South China Sea from Global Ocean Model (OCCAM)

The South China Sea (SCS) circulation in its southern region in the area between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia was studied from the OCCAM (Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling). This research aimed to illustrate the general overview of the seasonal surface current circulation a...
