Monsoonal winds activity

The temporal and spatial variability of sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface wind and the chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration in the Gulf of Tonkin is analyzed based on satellite data for one year 2002. The analysis results indicated that monthly and spatial variations of the chl-a are primarily associated with the monsoonal winds activity and sea surface temperature distributions.

This increase in the meridional surface temperature gradient is persistent regardless of how the gradient is defined, thus accounting for an increase in vertical wind shear and justifying why the overall number of TCs decreases during the recent period. Along with stronger vertical wind shear, it is also found that the intensity of summer monsoon in the VES decreases between the two periods.

The Gulf of Thailand is a semi-closed Gulf on the west and southwest side of the Indochina Penisula and experiences reversal monsoon. The object of the present study is to investigate monthly and spatial distributions of the phytoplankton in the Gulf of Thailand during whole El Nino year 2002 by using remote-sensing measurements of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and surface wind vectors.
