Abstract

The interaction process between the atmosphere and the ocean that occurs in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean has a major impact on climate and weather conditions in Indonesia. The phenomenon that arises due to this interaction is known as El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In addition to ENSO, other mechanisms also impact weather and climate change in Indonesia, including the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). This study aimed to analyze the effect of ENSO and IOD on rainfall in the Aceh region. The data used were CHIRPS rainfall data with the locations of four meteorological stations and one climatology station in Aceh, IOD index data and ENSO index data. Data processing in this study was carried out using Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) software and Spreadsheet for CHIRPS rainfall data, followed by processing ENSO index data and IOD index using Spreadsheet software. The analysis showed that the ENSO phenomenon has a longer occurrence than the IOD phenomenon. ENSO has a greater influence on rainfall in the Aceh region than IOD, especially La Nina, which has a weak to moderate correlation. Negative IOD and El Nino phenomena influence several observation points, but some stations do not show a correlation between rainfall and the index. The positive IOD phenomenon is strongly negatively correlated with rainfall at the observation station, which shows that positive IOD does not influence the Aceh region.

Abstract

The Aceh River Delta, located in Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar Regency, is a Quaternary alluvial plain composed of unconsolidated young sediments and lies between two northern branches of the Great Sumatran Fault, making it vulnerable to earthquake amplification and liquefaction. Estimating the thickness of alluvium is essential for seismic risk assessment. This study applies the 1D magnetotelluric (MT) method to investigate subsurface resistivity and estimate alluvium thickness. MT data were acquired in Cot Seunong Village using a KMS-820 data logger, LEMI-120 magnetometer, and LEMI-701 electrodes for 14 hours. Processing included time-frequency analysis, notch filtering, and robust transfer function estimation using the EMTF algorithm. Apparent resistivity and phase data were inverted using IPI2WIN to produce a 1D resistivity model. The model reveals seven subsurface layers to 1000 m depth, with the upper six layers (0–420 m) having low to moderate resistivity (13.9–134.9 Ωm), interpreted as alluvium. The deepest layer (914.2 Ωm) likely represents sandstone-conglomerate bedrock. The model correlates well with nearby borehole lithology. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the 1D MT method in estimating alluvium thickness and detecting resistivity contrasts. The estimated alluvium thickness of 420 m increases vulnerability to seismic wave amplification at the ground surface. Further surveys using 2D/3D MT inversion are recommended to provide comprehensive information on vertically and laterally subsurface conditions, thereby enhancing geohazard assessment in the Aceh River Delta.
