Planning Joint Vietnam Ocean Circulation Studies
Abstract
The overall goals are to: 1) Contribute to the study of coastal and open ocean current systems in sparsely sampled regions such us the South China Sea (SCS), using a Lagrangian approach; 2) Make significant improvement of observational tools that have wide strategic and operational NAVY application; 3) Foster partnership with Vietnamese scientists. We intend to make new Lagrangian and Eulerian observations to measure the seasonal circulation 1) in the coastal waters of Vietnam and 2) in the SCS at times and locations where only sparse direct current observations exist today. These data will also be used to test and improve hydrodynamic circulation models of the SCS and its coastal waters. Raise interest amongst Vietnamese scientists on Lagrangian circulation studies through multiple visits to Vietnam. The goals of the visits are to support ONR activities, to present our scientific results based on the analysis of drifter data in the region and to offer a practical demonstration of drifter technology.
