Abstract

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research The IASL-1 entry portal in the southern and northern regions shows the emergent SOFAR channels. The shadow zone and the existence of a SOFAR deep sound channel in the IASL-2 and IASL-3 routes can be triggered by the emergent “saddle” SVP pattern.  The variability seasonally and interannually due to variations in seawater properties stratification plays an important role in SOFAR channel appearances in IASLs. The diverse oceanographic characteristics of IASLs necessitate the implementation of sustainable marine geospatial data. Abstract Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC) is responsible for the three international sea lanes, known as Indonesian Archipelago Sea Lanes (IASLs), which allowed ships to navigate across territorial waters between Pacific and Indian Oceans and vice versa. Gaining knowledge about the distinct oceanographic characteristics of the three IASLs can offer valuable insight into maritime safety and sustainable marine resource management. Therefore, this research aims to review oceanographic characteristics in IASLs regions from available previous research to provide a comprehensive insight into the processes and dynamical oceanography in IASLs region as well as determine the implications for underwater acoustic patterns. The results showed that IASL-1 route is characterized by a shallow shelf passage with homogeneous sound velocity profile (SVP), which has a deep and narrow entry portal in the southern and northern Sound Fixing and Ranging Channel (SOFAR) channels. Seasonal reversal monsoonal wind-driven current dominates the circulation. IASL-2 and IASL-3 routes transported a deep and narrow passage with complexity of seaair interactions that vary on seasonal and interannual time scales. These IASLs were established with the saddle SVP, which trigger the shadow zone and the existence of SOFAR deep sound channel with seasonal and interannual variations in seawater properties stratification. The diverse oceanographic characteristics discussed significantly influence the underwater object detection equipment, the planning time, and the strategies for underwater defense systems. Due to the implications, it is necessary to use marine geospatial database, which may be adopted to facilitate policy-making, providing approximations for marine activities and management along IASLs.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlight Research Three distinct water layers were identified: surface (0-50 m), thermocline (50-180 m), and deep (>180 m). The thermocline layer is the most stable, with high Brunt-Väisälä frequency and low Thorpe displacement values. The highest energy dissipation rates were observed in the thermocline layer. Vertical diffusivity values were highest in the thermocline layer and decreased with depth.     Abstract The Flores Sea is on the western ITF trajectory connecting the Pacific and Indian oceans. Identification and quantification of turbulent mixing of water masses in the Flores Sea are essential for analyzing large-scale ocean circulation processes, including the circulation of the Indonesian ocean interior. However, direct estimations of turbulent mixing in the Flores Sea as a part of the ITF are underestimated. This research aims to determine water conditions, stratification, and water mass structures. This research used data obtained from the CTD instrument applying a Yoyo casting method deployed in March − April 2023. On the other hand, the Thorpe method was used to estimate turbulent vertical mixing based on the values ​​of energy dissipation and vertical diffusivity. The waters are stratified into three layers, mixed layer (1−50 m), thermocline layer (50−180 m), and deep layer (180−500 m). The CTD data showed the presence of a stable thermocline layer dominated by ITF water masses carrying water masses from the Pacific Ocean (North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) and North Pacific Subtropical Water (NPSW)) from the western ITF path. The energy dissipation value obtained at the study site was about 3.36E-07 W Kg-1 and the vertical diffusivity value was approximately 5.25E-05 m2s-1. The thermocline layer showed a large energy dissipation value which was strongly associated with the friction of the ITF, suggesting that turbulent mixing in this region is primarily driven by the interaction of ITF water masses with the surrounding environment.
