Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRobust of Doppler Centroid for Mapping Sea Surface Current by Using Radar Satellite DataMazlan Hashim, Maged MarghanyProblem statement: Sea surface current retrieving from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is required standard methods due to the complexity of sea surface ocean imaging in SAR data. In this context, various analytical models have been developed which describe overall effects of sea surface roughness on the Doppler signal mechanisms. Nevertheless, such models are limited in the complexity of the sea … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Variability of Indonesian Throughflow in Sumba Strait and Its Linkage to the Climate EventsAhmad Bayhaqi, Yueng-Djern Lenn, Dewi Surinati et al.As one of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) outflow passages, the Sumba Strait is a meeting point for the Pacific and the Indian Ocean water mass. In order to study the long-term variability of ITF flowing via Sumba Strait, this research uses observational data from the Ekspedisi WIdya Nusantara (EWIN) research cruise conducted in August 2016 to validate the altimetric geostrophic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 12 Jun 2019 · 8,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Coastal Current of the Andaman Sea Revealed by Reprocessed ObservationsSakharin Suwannathatsa, Prungchan Wongwises, Worachat Wannawong, Suphat VongvisessomjaiProblem statement: The surface currents in the Andaman Sea are observed and quantified by many studies in opposite of the local coastal current that is unclear. Knowing the contributor to this local current improves the simulation work in the most accurate way. This study reviews reprocessed observations from satellites and creates an oceanic model by taking data of 1995 to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 22 May 2012 · 7,067 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the 2004 'Boxing Day' Tsunami on Water Properties and Currents in the Bay of BengalNaveendra Reddy, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: Variation of temperature, salinity and geostrophic current in the Bay of Bengal due to the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami was investigated in this project using ARGO float and absolute dynamic height topography data. This was done to determine the effect of the tsunami on the water properties in the bay. Approach: The study area was between latitudes 5º … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,386 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGeneral Circulation in the Malacca Strait and Andaman Sea: A Numerical Model StudySyamsul Rizal, Peter Damm, Mulyadi A. Wahid et al.In the Andaman Sea and Malacca Strait, as in other parts of the Indian Ocean, the seasonal change of the wind plays a most important role: the south-west (hereafter SW) is monsoon active from June through September and the north-east (hereafter NE) monsoon is active from December through February. During the NE monsoon the winds are directed from the north … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 11 Aug 2012 · 18,566 accessesView PDF Cite
