Years of the Maritime Continent [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Abstract Years of the Maritime Continent (YMC) is a multiyear international program with participants from over 15 countries. Its overarching goal is to expedite the progress toward improving understanding and prediction of the local oceanic and atmospheric multiscale variability of the Indo‐Pacific Maritime Continent (MC) and its ...

Island Rainfall Enhancement in the Maritime Continent

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
AbstractThe hypothesis that the islands of the Maritime Continent (MC) enhance total rainfall and time‐mean upward motion is tested using a convection‐permitting regional model. Sensitivity experiments with the islands removed greatly diminish both rainfall and upward motion, supporting the hypothesis.

Impact of the Sunda Shelf on the Climate of the Maritime Continent [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres, 2019
AbstractDrastic paleogeography changes in the Indonesian archipelago over the Plio‐Pleistocene, either in response to sea level oscillations or vertical land motion, enabled the periodic emergence of the Sunda shelf. When emerged, this wide continental platform in the heart of the Maritime Continent may have modified regional and global climate systems.

Cumulus mergers in the maritime continent region

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 1993
We examine a family of tall (up to 20 km) cumulonimbus complexes that develop almost daily over an adjacent pair of flat islands in the Maritime Continent region north of Darwin, Australia, and that are known locally as “Hectors”. Nine cases observed by a rawinsonde network, surface observations (including radiation and soil measurements), the TRMM ...

Development and structure of a maritime continent thunderstorm

Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 1994
The evaluation of a maritime continent thunderstorm complex (Hector) occurring over Bathurst and Melville Islands north of Darwin, Australia (12° S, 131° E) is investigated primarily using Doppler radar data. Thunderstorm formation follows the development of sea breeze circulations and a period of shallow non-precipitating convection.

Maritime Disputes and Disputed Seabed Resources in the African Continent

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
This chapter provides an overview of some of the most significant maritime boundary disputes in Africa, both past and ongoing, and the interplay between these disputes and the exploration and exploitation of seabed resources. It discusses how the exploration and exploitation of disputed seabed resources have fueled maritime disputes and how African ...

Impact of Deforestation in the Maritime Continent on the Madden–Julian Oscillation

Journal of Climate, 2023
Deforestation is a major issue affecting both regional and global hydroclimates. This study investigated the effect of deforestation in the Maritime Continent (MC) on tropical intraseasonal climate variability. Using a global climate model with Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) simulations, we examined the effect of deforestation over the MC ...

Oceanic Impacts on MJOs Detouring near the Maritime Continent

Journal of Climate, 2020
AbstractMadden–Julian oscillations (MJOs) are the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability (ISV) in the atmosphere acting as a bridge between weather and climate. During boreal winter, many MJO events are detoured southward while propagating across the Maritime Continent.

Characteristics of daily rainfall over the Maritime Continent

Journal of Science and Science Education, 2018
Daily rainfall characteristics is important in the anticipation of natural hazard events, such as floods and landslides. In this study, daily rainfall data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project One Degree Daily (GPCP1DD) dataset are used to analyze the rainfall frequency, intensity and extreme rainfall indicators over the Indonesian ...
