แบบจำลองเชิงคณิตศาสตร์ของการไหลเวียนของน้ำที่เกิดจากลมในอ่าวไทย / สมชาย ศรีปัญญวิชญ์ = Mathematical model of wind-driven circulation in the gulf of Thailand / Somchai Sripunyawitchya
A three dimensional computer model of wind-driven circulation in the Gulf of Thailand was developed for predicting current and salinity. It is found that the circulation is in the form of vertical Circulation or exchange of surface and bottom watermass. During the southwest monsoon, the surface current follows the wind direction into the Gulf while the bottom current goes in the opposite direction. During the northeast monsoon, the surface current flows out of the Gulf while the bottom current flows into the Gulf, the directions of surface current are slightly deviated from the direction of the wind. The salinity distributions during the monsoons are slightly different.
