Simulation of Southwest monsoon current circulation and temperature in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

This study investigates the southwest monsoon circulation and temperature along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia by using the Regional Ocean Modeling System at 9 km resolution. The simulated circulation shows strong northward flowing western boundary currents along the east coast of Peninsular...
