Abstract

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) conventionally used to monitor ocean current profiles and potentially detect zooplankton distribution remains largely unexplored. Zooplankton are key consumers in the marine food chain, therefore understanding their distribution is critical. This study aims to map the distribution of zooplankton in West Sumatra waters using ADCP backscatter data. Data analyzed encompass ocean current measurements, backscatter, and conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles collected from March 1 to 3, 2017. Raw ADCP digital counts were converted into mean volume backscattering strength (MVBS) in dB using sonar equations, proportional to zooplankton biomass. The conversion process involved corrections for sound attenuation due to distance and water absorption, ADCP transducer angle correction, and noise correction. Processing results revealed zooplankton distribution in raw ADCP data ranging from 20 to 160 counts and in MVBS data spanning -140 dB to -40 dB. MVBS values derived from ADCP acoustic signal processing were filtered within the -100 dB to -60 dB range, representing the zooplankton backscatter range. Zooplankton distribution was observed at depths of 0-300 m. Vertical zooplankton distribution was generally high in the 100-200 m layer and decreased at 0-100 m and 200-300 m. This is attributed to the influence of the Equatorial Undercurrent transporting zooplankton biomass from the Indian Ocean to West Sumatra waters at depths of 100-200 m, characterized by high salinity (34.6-35.2 PSU) and cold temperatures (19°-21°C). This study demonstrates the utility of ADCP in observing zooplankton distribution based on their backscatter values and the influence of ocean currents in transporting zooplankton biomass.

Abstract

Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), which is part of the global thermohaline circulation, is known to play an important role in the heat exchange between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The flow of the ITF is highly complex, it depends on temperature and salinity. This study presents a proxy study from 25,000–18,000 years ago from two sites that are connected by the Indonesian Throughflow in the Makassar Strait. Oceanographic characteristics, including Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) were reconstructed and analyzed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period. A 295 cm marine sediment core coded SO217-18522 (1°24.106'N; 119°04.781'E, water depth 978 m) and SO217-18519 (0°34.329'N; 118°06.859'E, water depth 1658 m) from the SONNE 217 research cruise in 2011 was used as research material. Oxygen isotope  analysis, planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca geochemistry, and radiocarbon dating were used in this study. The SST reconstruction shows that the temperature during the LGM reach the minimum during ~20 ka BP and the SST value was significantly lower by ~2–3 °C compared to the Late Holocene value. The SST also shows significant cooler in marine sediment SO2017-8519 located in the southern site compared to the northern site. Salinity reconstructions during the LGM shows that SSS value was 0.82–1.13 psu higher than in the Holocene. The south–north gradients of SST and SSS in the Makassar Strait were larger over the 23.2–24.2 ka BP (SST gradient by 0.5–1 °C and SSS gradien by 1–1.7 psu) compared to the Late Holocene. The increase in SST and SSS gradients during the ~20 ka BP likely indicates a weakened intensity of the surface ITF relative to conditions during the Late Holocene.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the strength of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in comparison to the Pre-Industrial (PI) at the Makassar Strait, the Molucca Sea, and the Banda Sea, representing the pathways of the ITF. The analysis was performed based on the temperature distribution of the south (S) and north (N) thermocline gradients. Temperature data were obtained from the simulation of the Climate Community System Model, version 4 (CCSM4). The depth of the thermocline layer during the LGM and the PI period exhibits seasonal variability across the S-N stations. At Station 1, 2, and 3, the thermocline depth during the LGM ranges from 49 - 218 m (51 - 251 m), 55 - 250 m (69 - 254 m), and 48 - 238 m (48 - 218 m) in the south (north), respectively. The analysis of seasonal temperature variations in the thermocline layer in the three locations indicates that the ITF was significantly weakened both during the LGM and PI, indicated by the negative S-N Thermocline Water Temperature (TWT) gradient. The result suggests the southern part of each station is predominantly fresher compared to the northern part during these times. Additionally, it implies that the ITF is more robust in the eastern region (Banda Sea) during the LGM compared to the PI. This variation may relate to the intensity of seasonal local winds, mixing processes, and the remote influence of El Niño-like events, which could affect water transport along the pathway of the ITF.
