“…In the Indian Ocean, GENMOM simulates the Indonesian Throughflow well. The Indonesian Throughflow is 12.7 ± 0.8 Sv, compared to the observed estimates of 9.3 ± 2.5 Sv (Gordon et al, 1999) and 13.2 ± 1.8 Sv (Lumpkin and Speer, 2007). Surface currents in the northern Indian Ocean are modulated by the monsoon, where currents flow westward during winter and eastward during summer.…”

Abstract. We present a new, non-flux corrected AOGCM, GENMOM, that combines the GENESIS version 3 atmospheric GCM (Global Environmental and Ecological Simulation of Interactive Systems) and MOM2 (Modular Ocean Model version 2) nominally at T31 resolution. We evaluate GENMOM by comparison with reanalysis products (e.g., NCEP2) and three models used in the IPCC AR4 assessment. GENMOM produces a global temperature bias of 0.6 • C. Atmospheric features such as the jet stream structure and major semi-permanent sea level pressure centers are well simulated as is the mean planetary-scale wind structure that is needed to produce the correct position of stormtracks. Most ocean surface currents are reproduced except where they are not resolvable at T31 resolution. Overall, GENMOM captures reasonably well the observed gradients and spatial distributions of annual surface temperature and precipitation and the simulations are on par with other AOGCMs. Deficiencies in the GENMOM simulations include a warm bias in the surface temperature over the southern oceans, a split in the ITCZ and weaker-than-observed overturning circulation.

“…Over the year, the Makassar Strait has been extensively surveyed, and detailed descriptions have been published especially related to the ITF, a deep ocean current also important in regional and global climate studies (Hautala et al, 2001;Gordon et al, 1999;Susanto et al, 2006). However, only limited research has been done in the field of water quality in the coastal waters in this region and, in general, other parts of Indonesian waters Van der Woerd & Pasterkamp, 2001;Hendiarti et al, 2004).…”

Estimating specific inherent optical properties of tropical coastal waters using bio-optical model inversion and in situ measurements: case of the Berau estuary, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

et al. 2010

Specific inherent optical properties (SIOP) of the Berau coastal waters were derived from in situ measurements and inversion of an ocean color model. Field measurements of water-leaving reflectance, total suspended matter (TSM), and chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations were carried out during the 2007 dry season. The highest values for SIOP were found in the turbid waters, decreasing in value when moving toward offshore waters. The specific backscattering coefficient of TSM varied by an order of magnitude and ranged from 0.003 m 2 g -1 , for clear open ocean waters, to 0.020 m 2 g -1 , for turbid waters. On the other hand, the specific absorption coefficient of Chl a was relatively constant over the whole study area and ranged from 0.022 m 2 mg -1 , for the turbid shallow estuary waters, to 0.027 m 2 mg -1 , for deeper shelf edge ocean waters. The spectral slope of colored dissolved organic matter light absorption was also derived with values ranging from 0.015 to 0.011 nm -1 . These original derived values of SIOP in the Berau estuary form a corner stone for future estimation of TSM and Chl a concentration from remote sensing data in tropical equatorial waters.

“…In addition, the STCs are not closed cells, and therefore play a role in the global ocean circulation. Fo• instance, in the Pacific Ocean, about 10 x 10 a m s s -x of water from the southern hemisphere must cross the equator to feed the Indonesian throughflow [Gordon et al, 1999]. This water cycles through the Pacific STC on its way north [Wijffels, 1993].…”
