CURRENT AND INFERRED MOVEMENT OF PARTICULATE MATTERS IN TIlE UPPER GULF OF THAILAND
SUPHAT VONGVISESSOMJAISummary: Expecting the movement of oil spill, pollutants and sediments to be dominantly controlled by characteristics of currents is speculative but fairly reasonable. Operating currents in the upper Gulf of Thailand are virtually unknown for appraising problems associated with the rapid growth of industries along the upper Gulf. This paper presents orders of magnitude of currents considered important to the transport processes. Inferred movements of sediment and of oil spill are discussed. It is aimed at raising some interest in making quantitative determination of currents. Division of Water Resources Engineering, Asian Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 2754, Bangkok, Thailand.
