The island has been a nature reserve since 1976 and measures forty kilometres by ten kilometres, with a total area of 36,000 hectares. Moyo’s highest point is 600 meters above the Flores Sea. The tropical climate provides a year-round temperature of 27-30°C and a consistent water temperature of around 28°C. There are two distinct seasons. The monsoon or wet season is from December to March and the dry season from April to November. The vegetation on the island ranges from savannah to dense jungle. The savannah land dominates the plateaus and the jungle the remaining areas. Many varieties of trees are found on the island, such as native teak, tamarind, fig, coral and banyan.

The seas extend between approximately 12o S to 3o N and 110o to 132oE (Figure 1). The region separates the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Figure 1. Bathymetry of the Indonesian Archipelago. [Smith and Sandwell, 1997] Observations Indonesian Archipelago is most extensive archipelago in the world with more than 15,000 islands. The shallow bathymetry and the strong tidal currents between the islands give rise to the generation of internal waves throughout the archipelago. As a result there are a very 453 An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Indonesian Seas by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO large number of internal wave sources throughout the region. Since the Indonesian Seas boarder the equator, the stratification of the waters in this sea area does not change very much with season, and internal wave activity is expected to take place all year round.

    Reprinted from the Proceedings of the 4th Pacific Science Congress, Java, 1929; from Vol. III, 1930, pp. 1-6 (preprint, pp. 1-6, issued at Congress, May, 1929). The Hydrographic and Faunal Independence of certain isolated deepwater seas in Eastern Asia. by CARL L. HUBBS University of Michigan, U. S. A. One of the most fascinating phases of zoogeography, since the publication of WALLACE'S "Island Life", has been a comparison of the faunas of isolated regions. The faunas of islands are not the only ones segregated from one another : so also are those of mountain tops, of rivers, of continents and oceans themselves. Among the most interesting cases are those of isolated deepwater basins-freshwater lakes, saline inland seas, deep fjords, and partially enclosed seas, such as the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It is probable that a number of such seas exist in the highly complicated Indopacific region. Two seas of this sort have interested me, and they form a striking contrast with one another. The Sea of Japan, nearly enclosed by land or by straits which nowhere are depressed as much as 180 meters below sea level, receives through Chosen Strait at its south end a branch of the warm Kuro Shiwo, and through its northern straits cold subarctic waters, which of course dip down beneath the warm layers coming up from the south. DR. CHARLES HENRY GILBERT, whose recent death was a severe blow to the zoology of the Pacific, has related to me the taking by the Albatross during its 1906 cruise in Japan, of tropical pelagic animals over a subarctic bottom fauna.

  • SESSION I : Geographical Names and Sea Names
    The 14th International Seminar on Sea Names Geography, Sea Names, and Undersea Feature Names Types of the International Standardization of Sea Names: Some Clues for the Name East Sea* Sungjae Choo (Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Kyung-Hee University Seoul 130-701, KOREA E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract : This study aims to categorize and analyze internationally standardized sea names based on their origins. Especially noting the cases of sea names using country names and dual naming of seas, it draws some implications for complementing logics for the name East Sea. Of the 110 names for 98 bodies of water listed in the book titled Limits of Oceans and Seas, the most prevalent cases are named after adjacent geographical features; followed by commemorative names after persons, directions, and characteristics of seas. These international practices of naming seas are contrary to Japan's argument for the principle of using the name of archipelago or peninsula. There are several cases of using a single name of country in naming a sea bordering more than two countries, with no serious disputes. This implies that a specific focus should be given to peculiar situation that the name East Sea contains, rather than the negative side of using single country name. In order to strengthen the logic for justifying dual naming, it is suggested, an appropriate reference should be made to the three newly adopted cases of dual names, in the respects of the history of the surrounding region and the names, people's perception, power structure of the relevant countries, and the process of the standardization of dual names.

Theprocesses contributing to the isohaline structure are studied using data from three ARLINDO cruisesin 1993, 1994, and 1996. An inverse-model analysis using salinity and CFC-11data is applied toaverticalsection along the main path of ow,from the Makassar Strait to the Flores Sea and Banda Sea.The model reproduces the seasonal and interannual variability of the through ow andshows reversalsof owinthevertical structure. The model solutions suggest strong baroclinic owsduring thesoutheast monsoon of 1993 and 1996 and a small,more barotropic owduring the northwest monsoonof 1994. The isohaline structure can be accounted for by isopycnal mixing of different sourcewaters and by vertical exchanges, which are signi cant in this region. A downward ux equivalentto a downwellingvelocity of 5 3 102 7 m/sisestimated for the section. The total balance alsosuggests that seasonally and possibly interannually variable back ushing of water from the BandaSea into the Straits contribute to the isohaline structure of BandaSea water. 1.Introduction TheIndonesian Seas are the tropical link between the Paci c Oceanand the Indian Oceanand are part of the global thermohaline circulation (Gordon, 1986).

  • Changing Indonesian Sea Names Ferjan Ormeling Utrecht University
    Changing Indonesian Sea Names Ferjan Ormeling Utrecht University Introduction Foreign influence on Indonesian toponymy is negligible. Names that are demonstra- bly of foreign origin are only a handful. Examples are the names Flores, Enggano and Rondo, which are of Portuguese origin; some names of mountain ranges in the interior of Borneo still show the influence of German explorers. The names of two prominent cities, Batavia and Buitenzorg, were decolonised and changed into Jakarta and Bogor (Batavia referred to the Batavi, a Germanic tribe living in the Netherlands in Roman times; Buitenzorg is the Dutch equivalent of the French name Sanssoucis). But, overall, the namescape in Indonesia is an Indonesian one. Underneath the layer of Indonesian names, however, there are still foreign influences, masked because they have been translated into Bahasa Indonesia (the Indonesian language), or because Indonesian names were used by foreigners. As far as I have been able to assess there was no indigenous tradition in naming specific water bodies, apart from the South Sea (Samudra Kidul or Laut Kidul) and the naming of Indonesian seas thus was due to foreign or colonial intervention. Sources My sources in finding out the chronology of this sea naming process have been maps and charts, geographical descriptions and pilots or nautical guides as available through Google Books. No Indonesian literature could be found on the subject. I have studied old printed maps of Southeast Asia, in order to find out when specific names were first used, and also manuscript maps: a recent source (2010) is the book Sailing for the East, by Schilder and Kok from the Explokart Research Group at Utrecht University, which presents an overview of all the manuscript charts on vellum produced for the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

  • The Influence of Bottom Topography on Temperature and Salinity Distributions
    Journal of Marine Research, 67, 119–157, 2009 Dynamics of the Indonesian seas circulation. Part I – The influence of bottom topography on temperature and salinity distributions by Kieran T. A. O’Driscoll1,2,3 and Vladimir M. Kamenkovich2 ABSTRACT The influence of bottom topography on the distribution of temperature and salinity in the Indonesian seas region has been studied with a high-resolution model based on the Princeton Ocean Model. One of the distinctive properties of the model is an adequate reproduction of all major topographic features in the region by the model bottom relief. The three major routes of flow of Pacific water through the region have been identified. The western route follows the flow of North Pacific Water through the Sulawesi Sea, Makassar Strait, Flores Sea, and Banda Sea. This is the main branch of the Indonesian Throughflow. The eastern routes follow the flow of South Pacific water through the eastern Indonesian seas. This water enters the region either through the Halmahera Sea or by flowing to the north around Halmahera Island into the Morotai Basin and then into the Maluku Sea. A deep southward flow of South Pacific Water fills the Seram Sea below 1200 m through the Lifamatola Passage. As it enters the Seram Sea, this overflow turns eastward at depths greater than 2000 m, then upwells in the eastern part of the Seram Sea before returning westward at ∼1500–2000 m. The flow continues westward across the Seram Sea, spreading to greater depths before entering the Banda Sea at the Buru-Mangole passage. It is this water that shapes the temperature and salinity of the deep Banda Sea.
