| Summary: | This study is conducted in Peninsular Malaysia maritime to investigate the euphotic
zone depth (Zeu) variation and the possible suspended matter that may contribute to
the variation. The Zeu data were acquired from the MODIS Aqua satellite from
November 2002 to September 2013. The result shows that the Zeu along the Malaysia
maritime are highly seasonal-dependent. The lowest Zeu values are observed during
the northeast monsoon season (NEMS) in the east coast Peninsular Malaysia and during the southwest monsoon season (SWMS) for the west coast area. Chlorophylla (Chl-a) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) are found to be the
contributing factors for the coastal line and open water area. While, sediment only
contributes to the area located along the coastal line where lower Zeu values are
observed. |
