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.

  • 1 Investigation of the Energy Potential from Tidal Stream
    INVESTIGATION OF THE ENERGY POTENTIAL FROM TIDAL STREAM CURRENTS IN INDONESIA Kadir Orhan1, Roberto Mayerle1, Rangaswami Narayanan1 and Wahyu Widodo Pandoe2 In this paper, an advanced methodology developed for the assessment of tidal stream resources is applied to several straits between Indian Ocean and inner Indonesian seas. Due to the high current velocities up to 3-4 m/s, the straits are particularly promising for the efficient generation of electric power. Tidal stream power potentials are evaluated on the basis of calibrated and validated high-resolution, three-dimensional numerical models. It was found that the straits under investigation have tremendous potential for the development of renewable energy production. Suitable locations for the installation of the turbines are identified in all the straits, and sites have been ranked based on the level of power density. Maximum power densities are observed in the Bali Strait, exceeding around 10kw/m2. Horizontal axis tidal turbines with a cut-in velocity of 1m/s are considered in the estimations. The highest total extractable power resulted equal to about 1,260MW in the Strait of Alas. Preliminary assessments showed that the power production at the straits under investigation is likely to exceed previous predictions reaching around 5,000MW. Keywords: renewable energy; tidal stream currents; numerical model; Indonesia INTRODUCTION The global energy supply is facing severe challenges in terms of long-term sustainability, fossil fuel reserve exhaustion, global warming and other energy related environmental concerns, geopolitical and military conflicts surrounding oil rich countries, and secure supply of energy. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave and tidal energy are capable of meeting the present and future energy demands with ease without inflicting any considerable damage to global ecosystem (Asif et al.

  • Tropical Cyclone Cempaka 'Visiting' Indonesia Right After Facing Bali's
    Tropical Cyclone Cempaka ‘Visiting’ Indonesia Right after facing Bali's Mount Agung eruption, Indonesia encounters another natural event when tropical cyclone ‘Cempaka’ hits Indonesia on 27th November 2017. Jakarta- Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) Jakarta detected a tropical cyclone developing very close to the Southern Coast of Java. The tropical cyclone named ‘Cempaka’, has made BMKG to warn the public to prepare for extreme weather impacts for the next three days. BMKG inform the public that there are some extreme conditions causes by Cempaka such as heavy reainfall, strong winds and thunderstorms that will hit some areas of Indonesia. These heavy rains with strong winds up to 30 knots will hit Jakarta, West Java, Central Java Tengah, Yogyakarta, East Java, Kangean Island, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, and the Southern part of Java Sea. TCWC Jakarta predicts that Cempaka will remain for the next two to three days. TCWC also sending alert to public about high wave potential cause by this cyclone that up to 2.5 - 6 meters in, South Coast of East Java, the Eastern part of Java Sea, Bali Waters, Bali Strait, Alas Strait, Southern part of Lombok Strait, and Sumbawa Sea. BMKG issued warning to the public and advised people to remain calm but be aware about the following impacts that can be caused by the cyclone, such as floods, landslides, flash floods, puddles, strong winds, fallen trees, and slippery roads. Flight activities at several airports in Java may also be affected due to heavy rain and strong winds. Due to possible high sea waves, people and passing vessels are encouraged to remain on alert, especially traditional fishermen operating in the Southern Waters of Java.

  • 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.

  • Indonesia: Retail Foods
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/22/2016 GAIN Report Number: ID1638 Indonesia Retail Foods Retail Foods Update Approved By: Ali Abdi Prepared By: Fahwani Y. Rangkuti and Thom Wright Report Highlights: While traditional markets still account for the majority of retail food sales in Indonesia, modern retail holds a significant share and is growing. The burgeoning hypermarket, supermarket and minimarket sectors offer opportunities for U.S. food products. U.S. apples, table grapes, oranges, lemons, processed vegetables (french fries), processed fruits (dates, raisins, jams, nut paste), snack foods and juices enjoy a prominent position in Indonesia's retail outlets and traditional markets. Further growth and changes in consumer preferences, along with improved refrigeration and storage facilities, will also create additional opportunities for U.S. exporters. Post: Jakarta Trends and Outlook Indonesia is the 4th most populous nation in the world, with a population of approximately 261 million in 2017. Around 50 percent of the population is between the ages of 5 and 34 years. Emerging middle class consumers are well educated and have a growing interest in imported goods, particularly for consumer products such as processed foods. In 2015, GDP distribution at current market prices showed that about 26 percent of household consumption expenditures were spent on food items and 29 percent on non-food items (2015 GDP was $860 billion or IDR 11,540 trillion). The middle class population expanded to 56.7 percent of the total population (2013) from 37 percent (2004).
