| Research Abstract |
The underlying mechanism for the seasonal Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variability in the Indonesian Seas is investigated using a regional numerical model. We find the monsoonal winds, the main driving force of the variability. The impact of the Indonesian Throughflow is limited to summer (southern hemisphere) and along the Nusa Tenggara. The impact of localized tidal mixing is found to spread basin wide during summer because of the wind-driven circulation.
