OFS2024
Online Training on Ocean Forecast System
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.

Ocean Colour Remote Sensing - Data, Processing and Analysis 2024
Ocean colour analysis is a proven tool for determining the health of
ocean using oceanic biological activity through optical means. Phytoplankton
pigment, chlorophyll, are indicators of equilibrium of CO2
concentration between atmosphere and ocean. The oceanic colour changes due to chlorophyll
a provides the level of primary productivity whereas the colour change due to
CDOM can be attributed to the level of pollution and higher particulate matter.
The ability of optical sensors to map the spatial and temporal patterns of
ocean colour over regional and global scales has provided important insights
into the fundamental bio-optical properties and bio-physical processes
occurring in the aquatic media. Chlorophyll, SST and PAR can be operationally
scaled up to estimate primary production and estimate the fish stocks. This
training focuses on the basics of marine optics, ocean colour remote sensing,
and its applications such as mapping primary productivity, phytoplankton
classes and algal blooms.

Attendance to this course is by application only. Access will be granted to the selected participants.

APC13
13th Advanced Phytoplankton Course- Identification, Taxonomy, Systematics
The Advanced Phytoplankton Course series (APC) was initiated in the 1970s at the University of Oslo with the support of UNESCO and its Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). Subsequent Courses were held from 1985 to 2015 at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (SZN), in 2012 at the University of Copenhagen and in 2019 at the Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR). Over the last four decades, APC has contributed to the dissemination of the vast and ever-expanding body of knowledge on phytoplankton taxonomy, which has recently gained renewed interest because of its importance for interpreting advanced high-throughput imaging and molecular data. Many of the current experts in marine phytoplankton research have been trained at previous APC editions.
The 13th Advanced Phytoplankton Course (APC13) is organized by SZN together with SBR, the IOC Science and Communication Centre on Harmful Algae (IOC UNESCO / SCCHA) and Ocean Teacher Global Academy (IOC UNESCO / OTGA).
