Jérôme Vialard LOCEAN, Paris Examinateur M. Agus S. Atmadipoera IPB, Bogor Examinateur ii La turbulence dans les mers Indonésiennes Résumé La région des mers indonésiennes est la région la plus énergétique en termes de transfert de la marée barotrope vers la marée barocline comme démontré par des études s'appuyant sur des modèles de marée. Ces processus font des mers indonésiennes un des haut-lieux de la turbulence comme en témoigne le fort mélange des masses d'eaux originaires du Pacifique et s'écoulant à travers les détroits indonésiens vers l'océan Indien. La première partie de ce travail visait à mieux caractériser et comprendre la forte variabilité spatiale du mélange turbulent à partir de l'analyse d'un jeu de données historiques, sur une période de 26 ans, de profils de température et conductivité. La méthode classique de Thorpe, utilisée pour déduire les taux de dissipation à partir des inversions de densité, a été améliorée et validée avec des mesures microstructure de turbulence. Nous avons ainsi montré que la dissipation d'énergie cinétique turbulente est accrue dans les détroits et les passages étroits le long de la pente continentale et contrôlée majoritairement par la marée semi-diurne, M2. Nous nous sommes ensuite focalisés sur les ondes internes solitaires, un processus facilement identifié sur les images satellitaires mais rarement étudié précisément dans la région. À partir de simulations bidimensionnelles non hydrostatiques nous avons caractérisé le cycle de vie des ondes internes solitaires observées dans une zone côtière de la mer de Sulawesi. Nous avons ainsi montré que la marée interne générée dans le passage de Sibutu évolue au cours de sa propagation donnant naissance à des ondes internes solitaires qui déferlent sur la côte Nord de l'île de Sulawesi. Nous avons également estimé la part d'énergie de la marée interne transférée vers ces ondes et estimé les forts taux de dissipation associés au déferlement de ces ondes solitaires. Afin d'explorer plus en détail ces processus de haute fréquence induits par la marée, nous avons mené une campagne préliminaire dans le détroit de Lombok, un hot spot des ondes internes solitaires, en y déployant un mouillage. Nous avons ainsi montré que le maximum de dissipation se produit à une fréquence semi-diurne mettant ainsi en lumière le rôle moteur de la marée semi-diurne sur la turbulence dans cette région.

These processes make it a hotspot for turbulence as indirectly evidenced through the strong watermass mixing of Pacific waters flowing through the Indonesian Seas toward the Indian Ocean. The first part of this work aimed at better characterizing the strong spatial variability of turbulent mixing based on the analysis of a unique 26 years historical dataset of temperature and conductivity profiles. The classical Thorpe scale method, used to infer the dissipation rates from density measurements, was improved and validated against turbulence measurements. We showed that the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation is enhanced within straits and narrowing passages, in shallowing topography and mostly driven by semidiurnal, M2 internal tides. We then focused on internal solitary waves, a process easily identified from satellite imagery but rarely studied precisely in the area. Based on two-dimensional non-hydrostatic simulations we gave evidence of the full lifetime cycle of internal solitary waves observed in a coastal area in the Sulawesi Sea. We thus showed that the internal tide generated at the Sibutu passage evolves during its propagation leading to the formation of solitary waves that extract a significant part of the internal tide energy and eventually break in the northern coast of Sulawesi Island. We investigated the mechanisms driving the enhanced dissipation rates accompanying the shoaling internal waves in this region. To further explore these high-frequency processes tidally induced, we conducted a short- time mooring experiment in the Lombok Strait, one hot spot for internal solitary waves and proved that the maximum dissipation rate occurs at semi-diurnal frequency thus giving evidence of the semi-diurnal internal tide as a main driver for turbulence there.

  • SCHAPPER, Antoinette and Emilie WELLFELT. 2018. 'Reconstructing
    Reconstructing contact between Alor and Timor: Evidence from language and beyond a b Antoinette SCHAPPER and Emilie WELLFELT LACITO-CNRSa, University of Colognea, and Stockholm Universityb Despite being separated by a short sea-crossing, the neighbouring islands of Alor and Timor in south-eastern Wallacea have to date been treated as separate units of linguistic analysis and possible linguistic influence between them is yet to be investigated. Historical sources and oral traditions bear witness to the fact that the communities from both islands have been engaged with one another for a long time. This paper brings together evidence of various types including song, place names and lexemes to present the first account of the interactions between Timor and Alor. We show that the groups of southern and eastern Alor have had long-standing connections with those of north-central Timor, whose importance has generally been overlooked by historical and linguistic studies. 1. Introduction1 Alor and Timor are situated at the south-eastern corner of Wallacea in today’s Indonesia. Alor is a small mountainous island lying just 60 kilometres to the north of the equally mountainous but much larger island of Timor. Both Alor and Timor are home to a mix of over 50 distinct Papuan and Austronesian language-speaking peoples. The Papuan languages belong to the Timor-Alor-Pantar (TAP) family (Schapper et al. 2014). Austronesian languages have been spoken alongside the TAP languages for millennia, following the expansion of speakers of the Austronesian languages out of Taiwan some 3,000 years ago (Blust 1995). The long history of speakers of Austronesian and Papuan languages in the Timor region is a topic in need of systematic research.

  • Seasonal Fluctuations in the Surface Salinity Along the Coast of the Southern Part of Kalimantan (Borneo)
    Mar. Res. Indonesia Vol.4, 1959: 1-25 SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE SURFACE SALINITY ALONG THE COAST OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF KALIMANTAN (BORNEO). by Miss SJARMILAH SJARIF. SUMMARY The westerly current of the Java Sea from the southeast is branched to the north, along the eastcoast of Kalimantan (Borneo) as far as Cape Mangkalihat. This current brings high saline water, over 34.0°/oo, and in- creases the salinity along the coast of the southern part of Kalimantan, working together with the decreasing rains. In the westmonsoon, when the westward current has retreated and the easterly current from the South China Sea has developed, the northerly current along the eastcoast is replaced by a southerly current, from ,the Pacific. Under influence of the increasing rains and the large outflow of the rivers in the southern part of Kalimantan the salinity decreases rapidly, until a minimum value. This minimum is found irregularly during the diffferent months of the westmonsoon or the succeeding transition period. The lowest values are found in Sukadana Bay (29.0°/oo) and off Bandjarmasin (± 24.0°/oo). The further from this place, the higher the values. The maximum salinity is found during the months September and October in accordance with the minimum rainfall. The highest values are found in the eastern part of the investigated area (34.5°/oo). To the west it is lower, the more it is mixed with the low-saline water of the Java Sea. The salinity in the Karimata Strait is about 33.0 to 33.5°/oo. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG. Der nach Westen fuhrende Strom der Java See zweigt von Sudosten kommend entlang der Ostkuste Kalimantan (Borneo) nach Norden ab und reicht bis Kap Mangkalihat.

  • 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.

  • Holocene Climate Dynamics in Sumba Strait, Indonesia: a Preliminary Evidence from High Resolution Geochemical Records and Planktonic Foraminifera
    Studia Quaternaria, vol. 37, no. 2 (2020): 91–99 DOI: 10.24425/sq.2020.133753 HOLOCENE CLIMATE DYNAMICS IN SUMBA STRAIT, INDONESIA: A PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE FROM HIGH RESOLUTION GEOCHEMICAL RECORDS AND PLANKTONIC FORAMINIFERA Purna Sulastya Putra*, Septriono Hari Nugroho Research Center for Geotechnology LIPI, Kompleks LIPI Gd 80, Jalan Sangkuriang Bandung 40135 Indonesia; e-mail: [email protected] * corresponding author Abstract: The dynamics of climatic conditions during the Holocene in the Sumba Strait is not well known, compared with in the Indian Ocean. The aim of this paper is to identify the possible Holocene climate dynamics in Sumba Strait, east- ern Indonesia by using deep-sea core sediments. A 243 cm core was taken aboard RV Baruna Jaya VIII during the Ekspedisi Widya Nusantara 2016 cruise. The core was analyzed for elemental, carbonate and organic matter content, and abundance of foraminifera. Based on geochemical and foraminifera data, we were able to identify at least six climatic changes during the Holocene in the Sumba Strait. By using the elemental ratio of terrigenous input parameter, we infer to interpret that the precipitation in the Sumba Strait during the Early Holocene was relatively higher compared with the Mid to Late Holocene.

  • The Seasonal Variability of Sea Surface Temperature and Chlorophyll-A Concentration in the South of Makassar Strait
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Environmental Sciences 33 ( 2016 ) 583 – 599 The 2nd International Symposium on LAPAN-IPB Satellite for Food Security and Environmental Monitoring 2015, LISAT-FSEM 2015 The seasonal variability of sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration in the south of Makassar Strait Bisman Nababan*, Novilia Rosyadi, Djisman Manurung, Nyoman M. Natih, and Romdonul Hakim Department of Marine Science and Technology, Bogor Agricultural University, Jl. Lingkar Akademik, Kampus IPB Darmaga, Bogor 16680, Indonesia Abstract The sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) variabilities in the south of Makassar Strait were mostly affected by monsoonal wind speed/directions and riverine freshwater inflows. The east-southeast (ESE) wind (May-October) played a major role in an upwelling formation in the region starting in the southern tip of the southern Sulawesi Island. Of the 17 years time period, the variability of the SST values ranged from 25.7°C (August 2004) - 30.89°C (March 2007). An upwelling initiation typically occurred in early May when ESE wind speed was at <5 m/s, a fully developed upwelling event usually occurred in June when ESE wind speed reached >5 m/s, whereas the largest upwelling event always occurred in August of each year. Upwelling event generally diminished in September and terminated in October. At the time of the maximum upwelling events (August), the formation of upwelling could be observed up to about 330 km toward the southwest of the southern tip of the Sulawesi island. Interannually, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) intensified the upwelling event during the east season through an intensification of the ESE wind speed.

    Ultimate Indonesian Yachts 7-DAY / 6-NIGHT ITINERARY: MAUMERE TO ALOR Embark on a 7-day sailing sojourn in the mysterious Alor archipelago. This journey begins in Maumere and ends in Alor. ALOR ARCHIPELAGO The Alor archipelago is a series of rugged, volcanic islands stretching east of Bali, Sumbawa and Flores. It is perhaps most notable for its cultural diversity – the small archipelago is home to no less than 100 communities speaking 8 languages and 52 dialects. Dutch settlers fixed local rajas in the coastal areas after 1908, but were unable to penetrate the interior with its notorious fierce headhunters up until as late as the 1950s. This little-visited area remains known for its enduring indigenous animist traditions and the highland villages with their Moko drums. The many small villages in the vicinity are home to a welcoming and curious people, and visitors may also come across local spear fishermen sporting wooden framed goggles, setting traditional woven fish traps on the reefs. Among the islands surrounding Alor, deep channels make up part of the migratory route for many types of whales and the underwater landscape features breathtaking walls and coral gardens occupied by large schools of fish. These waters are notorious for powerful currents, particularly in the narrow straits between Pantar, Alor and Lembata, attracting predators from the deep. Off the Alor coast, Komba Island is home to the very active Batu Tara volcano, which billows smoke every half hour. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts SAMPLE ITINERARY DAY 1: MAUMERE Upon arrival at the airport, you will be collected by your crew and transferred to your private yacht.
