The aim of this study was to determine the type of
the current patterns in the coastal waters o f Kuala
Terengganu. This study was divided in two parts. The
first part was to determine the pattern of thermohaline
circulation . This was done by sampling 25 stations a long
the coastal water of Kuala Terengganu.The second part
was to measure the subsurface current by ONO- self
recording current meter and drogue.
The thermohaline circulation was dominated by
mixing during the north-east monsoon period ( October
1992, February and March 1993) due to the turbulence resulting from the action o f wind and tide . A dominant
feature of this study was the occurrence of upwelling
during the south-we st monsoon period ( May to August
1992 ) . The downwelling occurrences are in the north-east
monsoon. The study showed that the subsurface current in the
coastal waters of Kuala Terengganu were influenced by
the tide . The current speed throughout this study varied
from 0.012 to 2.6 m/s. The tide throughout this study
was diurnal in nature . A dominant feature through this
study was tidal current while , the winds have no impact
o n the water movement . Finally the data of surface
current illustrated that the water meanders in the month
of April 1993 . Meander rotated in clockwise direction
from the north to south-west direction with an ave rage
current speed of about 0.4 m/s. |
