All rights reserved.This work aimed to determine the hydrodynamics of the Malacca Strait (MS) and the part of the South China Sea (SCS). The study uses the two-dimensional numerical model with a finite-difference method. The results show that the sea surface heights in MS and the part of SCS are reversed and consistent with assimilation data that derived from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA). Sea surface in northern MS is lower than that in the southern part during January and July. However, the interval of SSH in both January and July appears differently. It is steeper in January than in July. Therefore, the currents and transports during January are stronger than those during July. However, the direction of currents and volume transport of MS flow to the Andaman Sea both in January and July. In part of SCS, the pattern is relatively the same as in MS; that is, the currents during January are stronger than those during July. In general, mostly volume transport in MS is going to the Andaman Sea and volume transport from part of SCS is deflected to the southern part of MS, especially in January.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Currents,Malacca strait,Monsoons,Sea surface height,South China Sea[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to thank Muhammad Ikhwan from Graduate School of Mathematics and Applied Sciences, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia and the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education which has funded this PMDSU research grant, with a contract number: 327/SP2H/LT/DRPM/IX/2016 dated on September 8, 2016.
