The Various Components of the Circulation in the Singapore Strait Region: Tidal, Wind and Eddy-driven Circulations and Their Relative Importance

Abstract

To obtain a better understanding of environment-related physical oceanography in Singapore Strait Region, numerical experiments are implemented to study the circulation in SSR. The three important components, tidal, wind and eddy-driven circulations are identified. It is shown that the tidal circulation is dominant in the region. Even though the wind and eddy circulations are relatively small, they may have significant effect on the local circulation and material transport.Singapore-MIT Alliance.
