applied for other study such as oil spill dispersion.
Best atmospheric options should be determined for each season. Discharge, tidal forcing and density-driven current should be prescribed in the 2-D circulation model.
Optimum options from other study together with pre-selected schemes have been used with this study which might not give the best result for the Gulf of Thailand. Thus, WRF model experiments must be further performed using various schemes in order to come up with the best option for the area of study.
The circulation pattern in the upper Gulf of Thailand from this study did not conform to data from the oceanographic buoys. Fine-scale circulation model for the upper gulf must be implemented which might give real wind-driven circulation for the upper gulf.
This study used only 2-D circulation model. Since the water in the gulf is divided into 2 layers, the 3-D model would be better to produce the circulation pattern for each layer.
