-Second Circular (plan)-

Tomography Lombok Strait Meeting 2015:
A vast challenge to monitor Indonesian Throughflow (ITF)
Date: November 3-7, 2015
Co-conveners: Fadli Syamsudin, Xiaohua Zhu, Chen-Fen Huang and
Arata Kaneko
Sponsored by BPPT, UNRAM, HU and ONR_Global

Purposes-Measurement of Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is still a key issue of world climate change
research because systematic, long-term measurement of ITF transport is lacked even for major pathways
such as Makassar Strait, Lombok Strait and Ombai Strait. Applicability of Coastal Acoustic Tomography
(CAT), an innovative oceanographic technology, to strait throughflow measurement will be intensively
discussed in this meeting. A new development of CAT (mirror-CAT) by using the mirror reflection of
underwater sound is proposed to monitor the ITF transport in real time and provides a critical material of
discussion. International collaboration with other researchers who advance ongoing or planning projects
on Indonesian sea studies and ITF is also another important issue to be pursued in the meeting.

Objectives
1. To investigate the cyclical temporal variability
issues on SST index in the several areas of
Indonesian Seas.

2. To improve the detection of the ENSO signal for
the area that show a cyclic temporal variability.

La Nina: The 3 months moving averages of SST is at

Conclusions
 The strong cyclical temporal variability exists in the
SST index of Indonesian Seas.
 The result of NOAA method could not remove the
strong cyclical temporal variability.
 The proposed method significantly improves the
ENSO signal detection for the area that show a cyclic
temporal variability.
