The field study of hydro-oceanography of Krueng Teunom estuary

Hydro dynamic of estuarial area has great effect on how river flow influence on the dynamic of sea coast. The study of hydro-oceanography of Krueng Teunom estuary was done by observing and retrieving data directly from the field. The study aims to understand how the dynamic of flow, waves and tides in the estuary of Krueng Teunom work in the area as knowledge base of hydro-oceanography dynamic in the coastal zone. The method used in this study was a direct measurement in the field with several sample points as a purposive sampling. The results showed that the condition of the waters dynamics was more influenced by upstream currents while the influence of waves in the estuary area was not dominant.
