Reconstruction of Sea Surface Temperature Data based on the Sr/Ca of Porites Coral in Ambon Bay

Possible impact of El Niño and La Niña on water mass circulation in Ambon Bay

“…We also use ocean current data measured on 18-19 July 2009 (24 hours observation) using current meter ALEC Compact -EM Model AEM-HR located in station 3 (1m, 5m, 30m, and 35m in depth). Observation through modelling to reveal the linkage of ENSO and monsoon with the sea surface temperature variability in Ambon Bay from 2000 until 2008 indicated that the sea surface anomaly in Ambon Bay was dominantly affected by local atmospheric condition rather than ENSO [18]. We predict the ocean current at 30 and 35 m depth will progress upward to the surface when it is blocked by the narrow sill at station 4.…”

A First Record of Metal Fractionation in Coastal Sediment from Ambon Bay, Moluccas, Indonesia

“…Ambon City is the capital of Moluccas Province that surroundings by Ambon Bay. It is separated by a shallow sill (μ12m depth) between the outer and inner part as geographically (Corvianawatie et al, 2016). Ambon Bay is the coastal area that is vulnerable to pollution due to anthropogenic activities such as urban, farming, shipping activities, and ship repair activities from the dockyard around the Ambon Bay that may contribute to metal inputs to the Ambon Bay (Manullang et al, 2017).…”
