Dynamics of the Vietnamese Shelf and Slope

Abstract

We want to test our dynamical understanding of coastal currents by comparing conceptual and numerical models with highly resolved ocean observations. We seek to understand the dynamical processes that govern flow over the Vietnamese shelf and slope by use of observations (in situ and remote) and process-oriented numerical models.
