Surface Winds Over the South China Sea During the Northeast Monsoon Season.

Abstract

Meteorological services in support of South China Sea naval operations during the Northeast Monsoon season may conveniently be divided into three parts, insofar as the surface wind field is concerned: (1) Specification of the current wind field, especially of wind speed; (2) prediction of monsoon 'surges'; and (3) special computations regarding the 'Gulf of Tonkin Eddy.' These three topics are discussed in the report.
