Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems and Their Impact on Heavy Rainfall in Indonesia’s New Capital City, Nusantara, in March 2022 Eddy Hermawan, Risyanto Risyanto, Anis Purwaningsih, Dian Nur Ratri, Ainur Ridho, Teguh Harjana, Dita Fatria Andarini, Haries Satyawardhana, Akas Pinaringan Sujalu Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2025 Nusantara, the new capital city of Indonesia, and its surrounding areas experienced intense heavy rainfall on 15–16 March 2022, leading to devastating and widespread flooding. However, the factors triggering such intense heavy rainfall and the underlying physical mechanisms are still not fully understood. Using high-resolution GSMaP (Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation) data, we show that a mesoscale convective system (MCS) was the primary cause of the heavy rainfall event. The rainfall peak occurred during the MCS’s mature stage at 1800 UTC 15 March 2022, and diminished as it entered the dissipation stage. To understand the large-scale environmental factors affecting the MCS event, we analyzed contributions from the MJO, equatorial waves, and low-frequency variability to column water vapor and moisture flux convergence. Results indicate a substantial influence of the MJO and equatorial waves on lower-level (boundary layer) meridional moisture flux convergence during the pre-MCS stage and initiation, with their contributions accounting for up to 80% during the growth phase. Moreover, while La Niña and the Asian monsoon had negligible impacts on MCS moisture supply, we find a large contribution from the residual term of the water vapour budget during the maturation and decay phases of the MCS. This suggests that local forcing (such as small-scale convection, local evaporation, land-surface feedback, and topography) also contributed to modulation of the intensity and duration of the MCS. The results of this study can help in our understanding of the potential causes of extreme rainfall in Nusantara and could be leveraged to improve rainstorm forecasting and risk management across the region in the future.
Epiphytic Host Tree Identification In Samarinda Botanical Garden Z Yahya, A P Sujalu, L Kamarubayana, H Emawati, M Napitupulu, Ismail ismail, Noor Jannah Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2023 Epiphytes are one of the most diversiform plants, which its species richness peak in the tropic and subtropics. The objective of this study is to explore the different types of phorophyte. This research used the single plot method, as many as 100 plots, each measuring 10m x 10m, randomly distributed in Main Protected Zone of the Samarinda Botanical Garden. In each plot, the following data recorded the species name and individual numbers of phorophytes. The phorophyte in the old secondary forest area to the amount of 66 trees are consisting of 30 species of 29 families. The number of phorophytes is mostly in the diameter class between 21-38 cm. The Family of Dipterocarpaceae and species of Borassodendron borneensios, being the phorophyte which has got the most one in which each 8 species and 9 trees are existed in the forest.
Moisture Origin and Transport for Extreme Precipitation over Indonesia’s New Capital City, Nusantara in August 2021 Anis Purwaningsih, Sandro W. Lubis, Eddy Hermawan, Dita Fatria Andarini, Teguh Harjana, Dian Nur Ratri, Ainur Ridho, Risyanto, Akas Pinaringan Sujalu Atmosphere, 2022 Nusantara, Indonesia’s new capital city, experienced a rare extreme rainfall event on 27–28 August 2021. This heavy rainfall occurred in August, the driest month of the year based on the monthly climatology data, and caused severe flooding and landslides. To better understand the underlying mechanisms for such extreme precipitation events, we investigated the moisture sources and transport processes using the Lagrangian model HYSPLIT. Our findings revealed that moisture was mostly transported to Nusantara along three major routes: from Borneo Island (BRN, 53.73%), the Banda Sea and its surroundings (BSS, 32.03%), and Sulawesi Island (SUL, 9.05%). Overall, BRN and SUL were the main sources of terrestrial moisture, whereas the BSS was the main oceanic moisture source, having a lower contribution than its terrestrial counterpart. The terrestrial moisture transport from BRN was mainly driven by the large-scale high vortex flow, whereas the moisture transport from the SUL was driven by the circulation induced by boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) and low-frequency variability associated with La Niña. The near-surface oceanic moisture transport from BSS is primarily associated with prevailing winds due to the Australian monsoon system. These insights into moisture sources and pathways can potentially improve the accuracy of predictions of summer precipitation extremes in Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara, and benefit natural resource managers in the region.
A Correlation between the Microclimate Forest to the Diversity of Orchids at Climate of the Lowland Dipterocarp Forest in Malinau Regency A P Sujalu, H Syahfari, P Astuti, N Jannah, H Sutejo, Jumani Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 This research evaluated forest microclimate effects on biodiversity, explore relationships among canopy properties, and disentangle their relationship on orchid ephypite diversity in the climax. The presence of orchids data collection carried by census on every tree that is over grown, while the research plots using single plot to the extent of 6 plots, each of the sized of 100 x100 m of lowland dipterocarp forest in Malinau Regency. Overall number of orchids were found in 6 hectares of climax forest could be 3324 clumps or 554 clumps/hectares from 43 species especially of the genus Bulbophyllum (7 genus or 35%). The analysis used a multiple linear regression, while Pearson’s correlation method. was used to find out the correlation between X (climate parameters) and Y (number of orchid) variables. Correlation between the elements of micro-climate with a number of orchids in climax shows a positif and strong correlation between the presence of orchids with average daily humidity (0.99) and the intensity of radiation at each vertical tree stratum (0.95), instead the relationship with temperature showed negative and a weak correlation (-0.51).
Assessing the production of the new superior rice varieties in tidal swampland in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan M Hidayanto, Y Fiana, M Amin, A P Sujalu, Sumarmiyati Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 The productivity of swampland in North Kalimantan, is still low and can be improved through appropriate cultivation technology. The study aims to increase swampland productivity in Tanjung Buka, Tanjung Palas Tengah Sub-District, Bulungan Regency through new superior varieties of rice. The introduction of new superior varieties of swamp rice (inbrida swamp rice-Inpara), namely Inpara-2, 4, 8, Inpari-30, Inpari-32, and local variety as a comparison, with the legowo row planting system (Jarwo) 2:1. The fertilizer dosage was 50 kg NPK ha−1, 100 Urea kg ha−1 and 1,000 kg dolomite ha−1. Plant growth, yield components and economic data were observed and calculated. Plant growth and yield components parameter were analyzed with Analysis of Variant (ANOVA), and followed with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Break-even point value and the BCR ratio were calculated for economic analysis. The result showed that the highest rice productivity was Inpara-2 and Inpari-32, and the lowest productivity was local variety. The research results showed that Inpara-2, 4, 8, Inpari-30, and Inpari-32 with the legowo row planting system (Jarwo) 2:1 had BCR >1, whereas if using of local variety BCR <1. Therefore, the recommended varieties to developed in this study area are Inpari-32 and Inpara-2.
