ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERACTIVE PROCESSES BETWEEN MEKONG RIVER MOUTH AND UPWELLING WATER MASSES Abstract: This paper presents one of the main study results of the co-operative project between Vietnam and Germany on oceanography which was carried out by Institute of Oceanography, Nhatrang, Vietnam. Phase –I (2003-2006): study on the structure, variation and ecology-environmental effects of Vietnamese upwelling area. Phase-II (2007-2010): study on the hydro-litho-dynamic, and ecology-environmental features in the Mekong River mouth area and the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. Using water mass analysis, remote-sensing technique and modeling methods, study results show that the features of nearshore bathymetry, tide, river discharge and monsoonal circulation along the west coast of the South China Sea are the main causes of the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. Preliminary studies show that the interactive processes extend to the area between Binhthuan and Camau and from the coast to Phyquy and Condao Islands. I. INTRODUCTION Mekong River mouth and upwelling areas are the most important regions for economical development and environmental protection of Vietnam. The governing processes, structure and variation of the upwelling area, the hydro-litho-dynamical processes in the Mekong River mouth area, the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth water and upwelling 115
  2. Hội nghị Khoa học và Công nghệ biển toàn quốc lần thứ V - Tiểu ban Khí tượng, Thủy văn và Động lực học biển water masses and their ecology-environmental effects are of most concern for oceanographers in Vietnam and internationally. To solve these scientific questions the co-operation project between Vietnam and Germany on oceanography was established. Phase–I (2003-2006): study on the forming processes, structure, variation and ecology-environmental effects of upwelling area. Phase-II (2007-2010): study on the hydro-litho-dynamic processes, ecology- environmental features in the Mekong River mouth area and the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. The co-operative project was carried out based on most advanced measuring instruments, data analysis and modeling techniques. The co-operative project results form an important scientific base for marine economical development and environmental protection of Vietnam. The content of this paper is as follows. 1. General scientific results of the co-operative project. 2. Assessment of the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. II.

Main study results of Phase-I (2003-2006) and Phase-II (2007-2010) a. Origin of the project: In the year of 2003 the Ministry of Science and Technology (Vietnam) and Development Fund – DFG (Germany) have been signed a co-operative program on marine research with the main contents as follows: - Impact assessment of the short-time and long-time variations of the atmosphere-ocean- continent system to hydrodynamic processes and primary productivity in the upw elling area. Developing the suitable models. - Clearing the upwelling related phenomena and their interaction with adjacent regions. - Enhancement of bilateral co-operation between Vietnam and Germany on marine research to upgrade marine research potential of Vietnam. b. Main study results of Phase-I (2003-2006): To enforce the co-operation program, from 2003 to 2006 Vietnam and Germany have been carried out the project with title:”Study on the upwelling phenomenon and related processes on the South Vietnam shelf. Field expedition were carried in a large area extending from Phuyen to Vungtau and from the coast to about 100 miles offshore, up to a water depth of ≈ 1000m (especially sediment trap was deployed at water depth of ≈ 3000m) for 4 seasons with 9 cruises. Meteo-hydrodynamical, biology, ecology-environment, geology, etc. parameters have been collected. Oceanographical parameters were collected by modern instruments such as: + Ship: Sonne (2006), Nghien cuu bien (2003, 2004, 2005), NCB-95 (2006, 2007), HQ683 (2007) (Fig.1). + Measuring Instruments: CTD + Fluoro-meter + Backscatter, Current meter profiler (ADCP). Whereby, T, S, v represent physical parameters, fluorescence biological and Turbidity, SPM geological ones (Fig.2). + Physical Oceanography: - It was the first time the two layers structure of seasonal varying current system along Southern Central Vietnamese coast has been studied so intensively (offshore boundary is located about 80km offshore, the depth of surface layer is about of 50 to 60 m). - Circulation model – a 3D baroclinic model using the nonlinear method was applied to investigate the upwelling phenomenon. Modeled results show that under the influence of SW monsoon along the southern Central Vietnamese Coast the upwelling phenomenon occurred especially from June to August (with an offshore directed velocity V ≈ 60cm/s in the surface layer). a.

Location of Biogeochemical flux traps Figure 3: System of measuring stations during Phase-I (2003-2006) - Method of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) was used to indicate the main structure of SST in the South China Sea under the influence of monsoonal winds and the effects of global climate change. - The region of strongest upwelling along southern Central Vietnamese coast was identified by using the wind stress data from Pacific Center for Fishery. - Variation of SST, Chlorophyll-a, Primary Production in the surface layer of the southern Central Vietnamese coast were studied by using the data extracted from MODIS and SeaWiFS. - Seasonal circulation patterns in the southern Central Vietnamese water were clarified by using MCC method to extract the data from AVHRR. Study results show that there exists a permanent large scale anticyclonic current in the study area throughout all seasons. 118
  5. Hội nghị Khoa học và Công nghệ biển toàn quốc lần thứ V - Tiểu ban Khí tượng, Thủy văn và Động lực học biển + Ecology-Environment: - During July a strong intrusion phenomenon of nutrients from deep layers to surface layer exists in the upwelling area. This phenomenon affected the phosphate content; nutrients will settle at the bottom and seriously affect the ecological-environmental condition especially during summer while the oxygen content is low. - Distribution of nutrients reflects the intrusion mechanic from deep water layers to the photosynthetic layer. - Primary production in the coastal water of Khanhhoa-Ninhthuan is dependent on the intensity of upwelling. - During strong upwelling events, two centers of highest primary production are formed in Khanhhoa-Ninhthuan waters, chl-a content is highest in the upwelling season. + Marine planktons and particulated flux: - Many species of planktons and small fishes have been detected. - Highest density of cells occurred in the nearshore zone and at the layer between 20 and 40 m during the upwelling period. - Highest biomass of plankton occurred in the nearshore zone from Tuyphong to Khanhhoa and the offshore region of Phuyen waters during upwelling period. - Highest quantity and density of spawning occurred in the nearshore zone from Camranh to Vungtau and at surface layer during the upwelling period. - Highest density of marine algae (spherical lime and silic) occurred during upwelling period along southern Central Vietnamese Coast. - Publication of a monography about the upwelling area and its related processes. Project results obtained in Phase-I play an important role as they are of high scientific and practical values, because they contribute to the understanding of the upwelling phenomenon off southern Vietnam. However, the remaining problems which have to be tackled in further studies are: - Seasonal variations of the interactive processes between the circulation at the west coast of the South China Sea with Mekong River water and upwelling water masses. - The processes forming the hydrological fronts and their interaction with involved water masses. - The question whether the upwelling area has received the material from Mekong River system. - Enlargement of the data base for the upwelling region including interactive processes between upwelling and Mekong River mouth water masses. c. Main study results of Phase-II (2007-2010) The joint project in Phase-II (2007-2010) continued with the study of the remained problems of Phase-I (2003-2006) with the title: “Study on the coastal processes in the Mekong River mouth area and the interactive processes between Mekong River and the upwelling water masses”. The main objectives of joint project are as follows. 1. To assess the interactive processes between Mekong River and upwelling water masses; 2. To assess the frontal features: structures and variations; 3. To construct a scientific base for the assessment and prediction of the marine resources for sustainable development of coastal economic; 4. To improve the potential of Vietnamese Oceanographers to perform studies, applications and international cooperations. 119

The main study results of Phase-II are as follows. - The long-term data of wind, typhoon strength, wave, sea water level (SWL), Mekong River discharge, rain fall, etc. have been collected and analysis to estimate the features of meteo - hydrodynamical processes in the study area. Statistical results show that the study area is strongly affected by monsoonal winds (NE monsoon from October to April, SW monsoon from June to August, May and September are transitional periods). Typhoons occur from October to December, especially in November (55%). In general, this area is less affected by typhoon (0.57 typhoons/year) than the northern parts of Vietnam. High Mekong River discharge occurred from June to November, especially in September with Qmax ≈ 15,800 m3/s at Mythuan Station (9/2001) and 15,000 m3/s at Cantho Station (9/2001). Low river discharge occurred from December to May, especially in March and April with Qmin ≈ 800 m3/s at Mythuan Station (3/2005) and ≈ 760 m3/s at Cantho Station (4/2004). The tidal regime is irregular semidiurnal with a maximum value of the SWL of 490 cm occurring in November. 120

During the SW monsoonal wind period and high river discharge, Mekong River water spreads up to about 80 to 100 km offshore inclining in the northern part of study area towards the transect between Kega Headland and Phuquy Island. During the NE monsoonal wind period under the effect of the cold boundary current flowing parallel to the southern Vietnamese Coast from north to south, the Mekong River water is constrained to the coast and directed to Camau Headland. - In general, nutrients were mainly discharged from Mekong River. The content of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) in the study area is approximately between 0.7 and 28.86 mg/l, with an average value of 6.92 ± 5.6 mg/l. This SPM concentration is less than 50 mg/l (permission threshold for critical nearshore water quality). During high river discharge period, the concentration of chlorophyll-a and primary production rates are increasing from south to north in the study area. During low river discharge period, the study area is a poor-nutrients region. Concentration of plankton is 10 times higher during high river discharge periods compared to low river discharge periods. Plankton is distributed mostly in the northern part during SW monsoon and high river discharge, whereas, during low river discharge periods it is distributed only around the river mouths. - Mekong River mouth area is a region where water masses of the northern and southern South China Sea interact with upwelling water, fresh water from river run-off. The interaction of the above mentioned water masses induced the formation and distribution of seasonal hydrological fronts. The density of total phytoplankton was mainly determined by silic algae, whereas the density of toxic algae was low. - Mekong River mouth area can be divided in to 3 regions depending on the affect of river water. They are river water, intermediate and sea water dominated regions. Each region has its specific ecology-environmental feature and bio-resources. - The features of upwelling and Mekong River mouth water masses and their interaction are depended on the western boundary current regime of the South China Sea and Mekong River discharge. 122
  9. Hội nghị Khoa học và Công nghệ biển toàn quốc lần thứ V - Tiểu ban Khí tượng, Thủy văn và Động lực học biển - During NE monsoonal period (low river discharge), the water mass from the northern part of the South China Sea with its characteristics of low temperature and high salinity follows the western boundary current to the Mekong River estuary with characteristics of low salinity and high temperature. Due to the interaction processes, it formed a water mass with characteristics of T ≈ 25 0C, S ≈ 34 psu. This water mass covered the area from Phanthiet to Camau, and extends as far as about 200 to 250 km offshore, except in the Mekong River mouth areas. Mekong River water discharge is constrained to the nearshore and flows to Camau Headland. - During SW monsoonal period (high river discharge) the characteristics of governing processes are the dispersion of Mekong River mouth water to the upwelling region under the affected of the western boundary circulation of the South China Sea from south to north. Study results show that the extent of Mekong River mouth water mass with characteristics of T ≥ 290C and S ≤ 32‰ in case of high river discharge and prevailing SW monsoonal wind can reach to Phanthiet and enter the Condao and Phuquy Island region. The transect Phanthiet-Phuquy marks the front of two water masses. In case of highest Mekong River discharge (10/2005) the extent can be as far as 200 km off the coast. The thickness of Mekong River water plume with a characteristic of S ≤ 32 psu [8] at the transect Longhai (off Vungtau) was about 10 m. During the SW monsoonal period, the water mass along the southern Central Vietnamese Coast has a T-S characteristic of 12 -29 0C and 31 -34,8 psu from surface to 200 m depth. These T-S values are similar to the T-S values in the deep layer of the Mekong River mouth shelf region. This is a proof of the dispersion of Mekong River mouth water to the upwelling region. Preliminary calculations show that during the high Mekong River discharge period and prevailing SW monsoonal winds (V = 6.8 m/s) the mass transport through the transect Longhai (off Vungtau) was Q ≈ 1.2 .106 m3/s (1.2 Sv). - The Mekong River mouth is a region of high primary production and biodiversity. However, the exploitation level of bio-resources was critical. The impacts of global climate change especially the SWL increase and lack of scientific base for the construction of hydroelectric power dams in the upstream reaches of the Mekong River induce a significant sea water intrusion as well as coastal erosion. These problems will form the main challenge for a future sustainable development in the Mekong River delta. d. Some comments for the joint project: - The joint project carried out was necessary to obtain the concerned objectives from both parties. In general, the main objectives of the joint project have been achieved as they are: a) Preliminary the understanding of the features related to the upwelling phenomenon and its interaction with adjacent regions, b) Estimation of the main hydro-litho-dynamical processes and features of ecology-environment in the Mekong River mouth area, and c) qualitative assessment of the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. - The joint project carried out was an enhancement for the bilateral co-operation between Vietnam and Germany on marine research and upgraded the marine research potential of Vietnam, especially the application of modern equipment and study methods, like numerical models [4]. However, some shortcomings have occurred during the execution of the joint project, namely: + Since the joint project proposal was approved from each country separately, unfortunately the financial support was not available for the same time. As an example, the joint project Phase-II was approved in Germany starting from 2007, but for Vietnamese side it took until 2009 before Phase II was approved. One more example: during 2000-2003 the joint project between Vietnam and India was also approved at different times (in the year of 2000 the Vietnamese side was approved, but the Indian side was approved in 2001). These problems 123
  10. Hội nghị Khoa học và Công nghệ biển toàn quốc lần thứ V - Tiểu ban Khí tượng, Thủy văn và Động lực học biển seriously affected the bilateral co-operation works. In fact, this situation led to independent works of each side, consequently the effectiveness of the joint project with regard to scientific and financial aspects was not optimal. + In general, the collaboration had worked nicely during field surveys, whereas, the Vietnamese role in data analysis, professional works and publications was rather limited and was mainly conducted by the foreign partner. 2.

In September 2009, the Mekong River mouth water (S ≤ 32 psu) extended as far as 100 km off the coast with the thickness of about 15 m (Fig. 6a), and spreads to the north up to Lagi water (Fig. 6c) with the thickness of about 10 m. During August 2009 an intrusion of Mekong River water was observed on the Vungtau transect with a thickness from surface to the bottom (Fig. 6b). However, this study was still not sufficient to quantify the total volume of Mekong River water spreading into the upwelling region. IV. CONCLUSIONS - The joint project carried out was necessary to obtain the concerned objectives from both parties. In general, the main objectives of the joint project have been achieved as they are: a) Preliminary the understanding of the features related to the upwelling phenomenon and its interaction with adjacent regions, b) Estimation of the main hydro-litho-dynamical processes and features of ecology-environment in the Mekong River mouth area, and c) qualitative assessment of the interactive processes between Mekong River mouth and upwelling water masses. The joint project carried out was an enhancement for the bilateral co-operation between Vietnam and Germany on marine research and upgraded the marine research potential of Vietnam, especially the application of modern equipment and study methods, like 126

However, some shortcomings have occurred during the execution of the joint project, these problems have to be solved in the future. - During the NE monsoonal period the water mass from upwelling area spreads into the Mekong River mouth region and the Mekong River water is constrained to the coast and flows in southward direction up to Camau Headland. In contrast during the SW monsoonal period and high river discharge, the main study results are that the water mass from Mekong River mouth region spreads into the upwelling region. However, our study was still not sufficient to quantify the total volume of Mekong River water dispersion into the upwelling region.
