NOC is generated by the interaction of wind stress and the North Natuna Sea’s bottom topography. The purposes of the present study is to investigate the vertical variability of NOC and its relation to El Niňo Southern Oscillation (ENSO) using Marine Copernicus reanalysis data. The vertical variability refers to the spatial distribution of NOC pattern at the surface layer, thermocline layer, and deep/bottom layer. in 2014 as representative of normal ENSO condition.

  • Ocean Wave Characteristics in Indonesian Waters for Sea Transportation Safety and Planning
    IPTEK, The Journal for Technology and Science, Vol. 26, No. 1, April 2015 19 Ocean Wave Characteristics in Indonesian Waters for Sea Transportation Safety and Planning Roni Kurniawan1 and Mia Khusnul Khotimah2 AbstractThis study was aimed to learn about ocean wave characteristics and to identify times and areas with vulnerability to high waves in Indonesian waters. Significant wave height of Windwaves-05 model output was used to obtain such information, with surface level wind data for 11 years period (2000 to 2010) from NCEP-NOAA as the input. The model output data was then validated using multimission satellite altimeter data obtained from Aviso. Further, the data were used to identify areas of high waves based on the high wave’s classification by WMO. From all of the processing results, the wave characteristics in Indonesian waters were identified, especially on ALKI (Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lanes). Along with it, which lanes that have high potential for dangerous waves and when it occurred were identified as well. The study concluded that throughout the years, Windwaves-05 model had a magnificent performance in providing ocean wave characteristics information in Indonesian waters. The information of height wave vulnerability needed to make a decision on the safest lanes and the best time before crossing on ALKI when the wave and its vulnerability is likely low. Throughout the years, ALKI II is the safest lanes among others since it has been identified of having lower vulnerability than others. The knowledge of the wave characteristics for a specific location is very important to design, plan and vessels operability including types of ships and shipping lanes before their activities in the sea.

  • US-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas
    U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42784 U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas Summary Over the past several years, the South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as an arena of U.S.-China strategic competition. China’s actions in the SCS—including extensive island-building and base- construction activities at sites that it occupies in the Spratly Islands, as well as actions by its maritime forces to assert China’s claims against competing claims by regional neighbors such as the Philippines and Vietnam—have heightened concerns among U.S. observers that China is gaining effective control of the SCS, an area of strategic, political, and economic importance to the United States and its allies and partners. Actions by China’s maritime forces at the Japan- administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea (ECS) are another concern for U.S. observers. Chinese domination of China’s near-seas region—meaning the SCS and ECS, along with the Yellow Sea—could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere. Potential general U.S. goals for U.S.-China strategic competition in the SCS and ECS include but are not necessarily limited to the following: fulfilling U.S. security commitments in the Western Pacific, including treaty commitments to Japan and the Philippines; maintaining and enhancing the U.S.-led security architecture in the Western Pacific, including U.S.

  • Indonesia's Effort to Enforce the Sovereign Right in the North Natuna Sea Amid the South China Sea Conflict
    International Journal of Arts and Social Science www.ijassjournal.com ISSN: 2581-7922, Volume 4 Issue 3, May-June 2021 Indonesia's Effort to Enforce the Sovereign Right in the North Natuna Sea amid the South China Sea Conflict Nour Zattullah1 1(Peace and Conflict Resolution Department, Indonesian Defense University, Indonesia) ABSTRACT: The conflict in the South China Sea is one of the conflicts in the ASEAN region. Indonesia's involvement in the South China Sea conflict began in 2012, when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) made absolute claims over the entire South China Sea territory. This absolute claim also includes the North Natuna Sea area which intersects with the PRC’s nine dash line claims. This paper attempts to elaborate on Indonesia's position in the conflict with the PRC in the North Natuna Sea using game theory and policies that have been and might be able to be implemented by Indonesia based on offense-defense theory and total defense doctrine. Indonesia is considered to have to avoid potential open conflicts that may occur with the PRC. Thus, it is considered that Indonesia should prioritize defensive action rather than offensive one. Policies in the form of increasing military presence and voicing rejection of the PRC's claims that have been applied so far are considered appropriate. However, alternative policies are needed to support the enforcement of Indonesia's sovereign rights in EEZ of the North Natuna Sea in the framework of total defense doctrine, among others, by increasing natural resource exploration in the North Natuna Sea and empowering fishermen there to maximize the presence of Indonesia in the area.
