Short summary
For the first time, high-resolution surface current data from high-frequency radar have been obtained along the central and southern coasts of Vietnam, and combined with a modelling approach, this is helping scientists to understand coastal processes. The research showed that the surface circulation is driven not only by winds, but also by other factors. This can enrich public knowledge of the coastal dynamics that govern other environmental impacts along the coasts.
