The monthly average distributions of sea-surface wind speeds and directions in the East Vietnam Sea

This paper analyzes a monthly global gridded sea-surface wind dataset from Jan 1991 to Dec 2020, sourced the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS). The goal is construct schematic maps depicting average distributions of speeds and directions in East Vietnam Sea. These provide visual representation monsoon patterns at different points areas region. statistical analytical findings reveal that Sea primarily influenced by two types monsoons: Northeast Southwest. When one strong, other weak, vice versa. dominates September April following year, while Southwest more dominant May August. intensity usually greater than monsoon. results an overview Sea, which can assist scientists managers proposing policies measures suitable climate environment seasons. also help effective exploitation abundant energy resources coastal Furthermore, are consistent with previous studies monsoons indicating data source used this study reliable be utilized as input for tidal, currents, or oil spread models.
