Characterizing Surface Transport Barriers in the East Sea of Vietnam

Abstract

The long term research goal of this project is to develop a thorough appreciation of the key seasonal transport barriers that are responsible for organizing surface transport in the ocean waters off the coast of Vietnam. The long term educational goal is to enhance the capability of Vietnamese scientists to identify the existence transport barriers in geophysical data sets and understand the role of these transport barriers in the East Sea of Vietnam.
