Online Training on Ocean Forecast System

Indonesia
Training Center

The Ocean model represents a numerical mathematical equation of the ocean and its interaction with the atmosphere and land. The ocean model in the Maritime Continent aims to capture the complex interaction between ocean and atmosphere in this region, therefore configuring an ocean model for a certain area needs to specify a specific domain, type of the equation and numerical methods used, the parameterization of sub grid-scale processes and forcing data used to drive the model, such as atmospheric data and boundary condition.

One of the most commonly used ocean models is the three-dimensional numerical model, which divides the ocean into a grid of cells and uses mathematical equations to simulate the physical processes within each cell. The model is initialized by ocean currents, temperature, salinity data, and other variables, and run over some time, typically several years, to simulate the evolution of the ocean under different conditions.

Among those models that existed, BMKG developed the BMKG Ocean Forecast System (BMKG-OFS) as one of the Meteo-Oceanography modelling systems used to support prediction and information about waves, ocean currents, salinity and sea temperature for the communities. The development of BMKG OFS is an attempt to fulfil community needs in various sectors such as sea transportation, fisheries, mining and energy, and marine-related activities.

BMKG OFS consists of 3 primary components: the Ocean Wave Model, Ocean Circulation Model, and Drifting model. The Ocean Wave Model named Ina-Waves is used to support sea wave information. The Ocean Circulation Model named Ina-Flows, is used to support current, salinity and sea temperature information at every depth. The drifting model is used to support object trajectory, sea level and coastal flood information.

This training will provide participants with a basic knowledge of ocean modelling in terms of marine warnings and forecasts. The way that the ocean numerical modelling system developed by BMKG supports operational analysis and forecast of ocean parameters (waves, ocean currents, sea temperature, salinity, and seawater level) will be also discussed.  The processing and visualization of met-ocean data set from BMKG-OFS using open-source applications will be discussed briefly as supporting tools for data observation in the provision of marine meteorology services.

Training on the Implementation of Satellite Altimetry Data for Operational Metocean Services
Blended

SATData2024

Training on the Implementation of Satellite Altimetry Data for Operational Metocean Services

Indonesia
Training Center

The training course will focus on utilizing satellite technology to provide accurate wave height and sea surface height information to support marine operations. Several types of satellite altimetry data will be explored. By the utilization of satellite altimetry data, forecasted wave height output from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) will be verified. The course will also examine the usage of various satellite observations to monitor significant wave height, sea surface height, and sea level rise. Throughout the course, trainees will have the opportunity to develop their skills in satellite data processing, interpretation, analysis, and visualization.

The next level of the Ocean Forecast System utilization is to understand the coastal resilience in order to be able to mitigate the disaster risk. This course brings the practical and analytical knowledge of the Ocean Forecast System (OFS) to approach and analyze coastal resilience, and then mitigate the disaster risk, during extreme events, in particular.

Weather Field School for Fishermen

Weather Field School for Fishermen

Indonesia
Training Center

In light of the increasingly diverse and unpredictable weather and climate conditions happened in recent years, it is important to equip Fishermen, Fisheries Extension officers, and related service officials at the district/ municipality government level.  Moreover, academicians working as partners for fishermen and coastal communities also need to be trained with the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with weather uncertainty and climate variability. Recognizing the potential disruptions in food security, particularly in the marine and fisheries sectors, various groups have emphasized the paramount importance of addressing weather and climate issues comprehensively.

In response, we introduce the Weather Field School for Fishermen—an innovative program designed to provide fishermen and officials partners with an in-depth understanding of weather patterns and climate dynamics. By empowering fishermen with this knowledge and extending their skills using marine weather information, we intend to enhance their ability to anticipate and adapt to extreme weather events impacts which in turn will ensure sustainable fishing practices and aquaculture implementation to secure the future of our marine resources. With a curriculum comprising four comprehensive sessions, this weather field school stands as a critical step towards safeguarding both fishermen livelihoods and coastal communities and simultaneously increase the resilience of our marine ecosystems.
