【 摘 要 】

The northern waters of Aceh are directly adjacent to the Malacca Strait, the Andaman Sea, and the Indian Ocean. These waters are an important route in the activities of shipping, fishing and others. The study of current circulation was studied by using the 2D hydrodynamic models. The purpose of this study is to determine the current patterns during the Northeast (February 2016) and southwest (August 2016) monsoons. To generate the models, we use the wind force obtained from European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) 2016. The results show that the current circulation generally follows the bathymetry pattern and monsoonal direction.
