Abstract EN
Data from eight cruises spanning from 2002 to 2007 are used to investigate the seasonal changes in water characteristics and current circulation in southern South China Sea along the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The surveys were made during two intermonsoon periods which are during March/April and September/October.
In addition, monthly sea surface temperature from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is used to provide wider coverage of spatial and temporal for seasonality study.
Overall, the area shares different physical properties between the two seasons.
During September/October temperature is lower and salinity is higher compared to the data during Mac/April/May.
The current along the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia also shows seasonality, with dominant current flow southward during Mac/April and northward during September/October.
