Abstract
The oceanographic data measured during a survey by RV Koyo Maru in the Cambodian water during 21 – 27 November 2014 were used to investigate water column conditions, their causes and results. The analyses showed that thermocline, halocline and pycnocline developed at the depths of about 40 – 55 m in the offshore area. Water stratification became more complex in nearshore region where the influence of local freshwater inputs and subsurface warm water intrusion were observed. The resulted stratification generated low dissolved oxygen in near bottom water almost throughout the study area. The situation of low dissolved oxygen became intense in nearshore area where surface salinity was very low due to local freshwater sources and subsurface warm water intrusion. Key words : water column conditions, the Cambodian water, the Gulf of Thailand
