Abstract

Net primary production (NPP) is one of the approaches used to estimate the amount of carbon sequestration by plants. This research aims to estimate the total carbon flux exchanged from different ages of oil palm using remote sensing. The study site was at the PTPN VI Batang Hari, Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. The amount of carbon sequestration by oil palm plantations at PTPN VI Batang Hari, Jambi can be estimated using remote sensing based on the light use efficiency (LUE) model. The results showed that the oil palm age affects the amount of carbon sequestrated. The lowest Net primary production value was found at one year of planting 4.28 gCm-2day-1, and the highest was 9.38 gCm-2day-1 at 20 years of planting. The model LUE output was validated using Eddy covariance data and the results showed a low error and a high accuracy rate with RMSE = 0.05 gCMJ-1, R2 = 92%, and p-value = 0.04. We concluded that the LUE model can be used with high accuracy to estimate the amount of carbon absorption of oil palm when direct measurement is unavailable.

Abstract

In recent years, various research institutions have developed diverse global data reanalysis projects. This provides an opportunity to gain long-term of meteorological data for local scale. This study aims to select the potential predictor of wind fields u and v of the ERA-20C dataset, a reanalysis dataset, at 850 mb from seven domains or windows of Asian, Maritime Continent, Australian, and Western North Pacific monsoon related physically to rainfall anomaly patterns in Indonesia. The vector wind velocity scalar was obtained by using a Helmholtz decomposition to separate the total circulation v = (u,v) into the divergent component/velocity potential (χ) or Phi and rotational component/stream function (ψ) or Psi for obtaining the scalar variable of vector wind velocity. The method applied Singular value decomposition (SVD) to identify pairs of spatial patterns (expansion coefficients) between the predictors of Phi and Psi in seven domains, with rainfall data from 48 stations in Java, Sumatra, and Borneo Islands from 1981 to 2010. The results revealed that spatial patterns correlations of Java Islands were the highest in the Maritime Continent monsoon domain (80o−150o E and 15oS−15o N), while Sumatra and Borneo Island were in the Western North Pacific monsoon domain (100o–130o E and 5o–15o N) with predictor Psi. The lowest correlation for Java, Sumatra, and Borneo was the Australian monsoon domain (110o E–130o E and 5o S–15o S) with predictor Phi. In general, spatial pattern correl-ations of Java Island were higher than others, agreeing with monsoonal rainfall type dominantly in the region.

Abstract

The vegetation canopy's height and characteristics directly affect the turbulence that controls the exchange of mass and energy between the vegetation and the surrounding atmosphere. Turbulence also controls the momentum transfer towards the mass-carrying plant canopy and the accompanying atmospheric properties so that vegetation can contribute to pollutant deposition. This study aims to estimate the canopy capacity of oil palms to absorb pollutants based on their momentum transfer, the influence of atmospheric stability dynamics, and rainy and dry periods upon absorbed pollutants from PTPN VI in Jambi province for the period of January to December 2015 used micrometeorological observation data. The results showed that the dry deposition capacity value at the stable, neutral, and unstable atmospheric conditions were 2.06 x 10-3 kg/m2, 3.50 x 10-3 kg/m2, and 4.35 x 10-3 kg/m2, respectively. The stable or unstable conditions affected the momentum transfer through decreasing or increasing turbulence. In stable conditions, the cooling of the atmosphere impacts the turbulence to be restrained. The result also showed that the dry deposition capacity during the dry and rainy periods were 4.5 x 10-3 kg/m2 and 2.9 x 10-3 kg/m2, respectively. Further, atmospheric conditions tended to be unstable during the dry period, while the rainy period tended to be stable. This research showed that the momentum transfer method can estimate gas type pollutants by vegetation.

Abstract

Western Java is densely populated with high socio-economic activity. Climate-related disasters can be mitigated with the support of an understanding of systems that produce reliable climate predictions. One of the climate variables included in hydrometeorological disasters is rainfall. The characteristics of rainfall in Western Java cannot be separated from the sea surface temperature (SST) around the area. This study compares the relationship between SST and rainfall with singular value decomposition (SVD) and compares it with Pearson's correlation. SVD Model performance was evaluated using square covariance fraction (SCF) and Pearson correlation. The results showed that rainfall has a higher correlation with SST Anomaly (SSTA) by using SVD, with a correlation of about 0.63 in 6 to 9 months without lag time. Rainfall in western Java was closely related to the positive SSTA anomaly in southern Indonesia, especially the waters south of Java Island, and negative anomalies in other areas. Furthermore, atmospheric dynamic analysis showed that the positive coefficient expansion is followed by warmer SST, lower surface air pressure, higher water vapor, and higher rainfall, all were respective to their normal conditions around western Java. This study concludes that warmer SSTA around Western Java causes increased rainfall in western Java than normal and potentially impacts the hydrological disaster in West Java.

Abstract

The compactness of buildings in Denpasar resulted in the formation of urban heat islands (UHI), which can be evaluated through the Urban Thermal Field Variance Index (UTFVI) and Environment Criticality Index (ECI). ECI is the ratio of land surface temperature to the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). It can be transformed into Temperature Criticality Value (TCV) using air temperature and Index-based Built-up Index (IBI). This study aims to identify the UHI intensity, the impact of land cover changes, and its association with the TCV. The study employs Landsat 8 imagery and field measurements data, and the findings demonstrate that the study area was mainly composed of built-up areas that had grown from 2015 to 2021. TFVI indicates the most intense UHI (>0.02) in the built-up areas, whereas the mean value of NDVI suggested a reduction in vegetation density. The density of built-up areas (IBI) had increased, while vegetation had decreased. TCV in 2015 ranged from -11.15°C.IBI to 6.42°C.IBI; 2018 between -9.96°C.IBI to 6.79°C.IBI; and 2021 between -10.84°C.IBI to 6.87°C.IBI showed that the environment had become increasingly critical from 2015 to 2021. A transect analysis revealed that more vigorous UHI intensity, denser buildings, and a more critical environment were present in urban centers compared to the suburbs. The correlation coefficient (r) between TCV and UTFVI was relatively robust (0.75–0.82), indicating that the growth of UHI intensity was associated with a more critical environment. TCV has the strongest (r=0.99) and strong correlation (r>0,80) with Built-up Index but inverse correlation with NDVI. Therefore, limiting the expansion of built-up areas and increasing vegetation could help to control the environment's criticality.

Abstract

Ground level ozone is known to exhibit a strong daily variation of concentration leading to long-range transport of air pollutants from urban to rural areas. Moreover, the characteristics of O3 relationship between urban, suburban, and rural sites can be explained by O3 photochemical chemistry and meteorological dispersions as indicated by the different result of O3 diurnal pattern. However, little is known about the global phenomenon of diurnal concentration of ozone, meteorological dispersion such as long-range transport, and their correlation with ozone precursors, especially in urban and rural areas. This paper attempt to compare the difference between daily ozone fluctuations in both sites and assess some factors that cause long-range ozone transport from urban and rural areas both in subtropical and tropical areas for global scale. Using systematic literature review analysis with the PRISMA method, it examined 43 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2022 globally meeting the inclusion criteria. The result showed that the fluctuation patterns of daytime ozone in urban and rural areas are different to those in tropical and subtropical regions, depending on latitude. This was primarily due to the influence of solar radiation and the presence of precursors. Conversely, a slight decrease in ozone rate at night occurs because the precursor was accumulated by the shutdown of photochemical ozone production. Some precursors of ozone from other regions can be transported and accumulated from the long-range transport process in other locations. This paper serves as an initial guideline to analysing the pattern of ozone concentration in urban and rural areas and the factors that influence it.

Abstract

Thermal comfort refers to the suitability of meteorological conditions for humans with the environment. Temperature is the main meteorological variable, which determines the thermal comfort as expressed in various climate indices. This study aims to analysis the distribution of thermal comfort, and to identify environmental factors influencing the comfort situated in North Sumatra, Indonesia. We applied the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to determine the heat stress level for 2011 - 2020. The higher UTCI value indicates more uncomfortable conditions related to the higher heat stress. The results showed that the average value of UTCI in North Sumatra was categorised at moderate heat stress. Densely urbanised area in the eastern region contributed to high heat stress, whereas mountainous areas in central to west regions were at low level. Our findings found that climate season affected the distribution of heat stress level. The low heat stress occurred in December-February, while high heat stress happened in June-August. Further, findings revealed that altitude and land cover have contributed to UTCI variation by more than 75% variance.

Abstract

Riau is one of the susceptible regions in Indonesia, which faces frequent land and forest fires. Fires occur in various land covers and soil types, both peat and mineral soils, which emitted huge carbon to the atmosphere. Forest fires emit greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2). The objective of the research was to quantify CO2 from land and forest fires. The quantification emission was for 2016 – 2018 based on the fire radiant power (FRP) dataset along with the buffer methodology for assessing fire-affected land extents across different land covers. The FRP dataset we used to be only at a confidence level of 70% or higher, which represents hotspots. The results revealed large numbers of FRP focal points (> 1000) that can be identified as fires for 2016 and 2018, whereas only small numbers (121) were identified for 2017. Then we quantified the area burned of 95,396 Ha in Riau for 2016, which was double to the 2018’s area burned. Further, this burning contributed to CO2 emission equal to 313,456 tCO2 for 2016. Emission in 2017 was a relatively low as not many observed fires detected.

Abstract

Diarrhea disease presents a significant public health concern due to its impact on mortality, and research showed that climate plays an important role on diarrhea prevalence. However, effect of climate on diarrhea incidence was inconsistent among climate factors. Here, we investigated this inconsistency thorough systematic literature review. Our review encompassed the formulation of research questions, development of literature search strategies, and the establishment of inclusion/exclusion criteria for systematic data extraction. We carried out an extensive search from peer-review literature databases including Scopus, Pubmed, and Proquest for articles published between January 2000 to March 2023. We found that 74 studies focusing on diarrhea diseases and climate influencing factors met our inclusive criteria. Climate factors that affected diarrhea were rainfall, temperature, humidity, and climate seasonality. Our findings revealed that a positive association between diarrhea and rainfall was consistently observed. Other climate factors (temperature and humidity) indicated a positive correlation as well, although viral diarrhea exhibited a negative correlation with temperature. Further, bacterial and parasitic diarrhea diseases were more prevalent in the rainy season, whereas viral diarrhea occurred more frequently during the dry season with lower temperatures.

Abstract

Environmental factors, particularly climate conditions, play a crucial role in influencing the growth and yield of cultivated crops. Although knowledge on their influence has been revealed in many records, our understanding of their relationship in West Papua is limited due to lack of data. This research leveraged data of monthly climate variables (temperature, rainfall, and radiation intensity) and crop yields from West Papua, Indonesia for period 2011-2020. The Analysis revealed varying trends in the highest average monthly air temperature, humidity, rainfall, and radiation intensity across different months. Despite these fluctuations, there was a general tendency towards increased harvested area and rice, maize, and soybeans production. While the overall impact of climate variables on crop productivity appeared insignificant, certain nuances emerge. Specifically, air humidity demonstrated a notable influence on rice productivity, while air temperature has a stronger effect on maize productivity than other climate variables. However, correlation tests indicated that the relationship between climate variables (air temperature, humidity, rainfall, and radiation intensity) and crop productivity, particularly maize, rice, and soybeans, did not reach statistical significance. This underscores the complexity of the interplay between climate dynamics and agricultural outcomes.
