Strait Flow Monitoring Using Trawl Resistant Bottom Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers

Abstract

The main objectives are (1) to measure the magnitude and its variability of the water mass transport/exchange between the Indonesian Seas and South China Sea (SCS) in the Karimata Strait; (2) to determine the effects of this flow and property flux from the tidal to seasonal variability on the circulation and mesoscale dynamics in the internal Indonesian Seas and the South China Sea.
