Associate Professor Dr Changshui Xia of FIO visited UKM during Jan-March, 2010. Dr Changshui Xia developed a wave-tide-circulation coupled model based on Princeton Ocean Model to study the seasonal circulation in the Malay Peninsula Eastern Continental Shelf region. The model result shows the presence of an anti-cyclonic eddy is present off the Peninsular Malaysia's east coast in summer, centered at 5ºN and 105.5ºE. Numerical experiments show that the wind stress curl and bathymetry steering are responsible for its formation. A paper (Tangang et al. 2011) was published in Ocean Dynamics from this work.
