Water circulation pattern of Port Dickson in August 1988.
The study was conducted in front of the UPM Station in Port Dickson between 21st August to 25th August 1988. Two methods were used in this study, i.e. the Lagrangian and Eulerian methods. In the Lagrangian method two drogues were used. They were deployed at 2m and 3m depth. In this study it was...

| 總結: | The study was conducted in front of the UPM Station in Port
Dickson between 21st August to 25th August 1988. Two methods were
used in this study, i.e. the Lagrangian and Eulerian methods.
In the Lagrangian method two drogues were used. They were
deployed at 2m and 3m depth. In this study it was found that both
drogues tend to move southward and towards the beach.
In the Eulerian method a self-recording current meter was
used and deployed at 2m depth. Data of current speed and
direction were recorded and analysed using scattered plot
diagrams, stick diagrams and progressive vector plots. In
general, the currents flow in a predominantly north-south
direction. However in the progressive vector plots the southward
direction was found to be more dominant. The current speed was in
the range of 0 - 0.35 m/s. This information on water circulation
helped in tracking the possible movement of pollutants from Port
Dickson to Teluk Kemang beach. |
