Abstract

Jayapura City is characterized by high seismicity, dense population, and rapid urban development, making it particularly vulnerable to earthquake hazards. This study analyzes strong ground motion characteristics, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), effective duration, and response spectral acceleration, using data from four significant earthquakes that occurred between 2021 and 2022. PGA values were determined by identifying the peak of the acceleration spectrum, while response spectral acceleration was obtained and plotted as a function of period versus amplitude. Effective duration was evaluated using the concept of significant duration based on the 5–95% Arias intensity interval. Ground motion data were recorded by accelerograph stations operated by the Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), specifically the JGPI and JBPI stations. The results show that PGA values at JGPI Station are consistently higher than those at JBPI Station, which is attributed to the hard soil conditions at JGPI. Hard soil tends to resonate at higher frequencies and exhibits greater damping, resulting in shorter effective durations. In contrast, JBPI Station, characterized by relatively softer soil conditions, exhibits longer effective durations. Furthermore, the response spectral acceleration values recorded at both stations for all analyzed earthquakes are lower than the design response spectra specified in SNI 1726:2019, indicating that although the earthquakes were felt, they did not cause significant structural damage, consistent with observed field conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to simulate and predict volcanic ash dispersion from the 29 April 2024 eruption of Mount Ruang by coupling the PUFF model with RGB analysis of Himawari-8 imagery. Driven by meteorological fields from the NOAA Global Forecast System, the PUFF model provides 24-hour forecasts of ash transport by integrating Lagrangian and Eulerian representations of particle motion. For validation, Himawari-8 satellite imagery was processed using the RGB method with IR1, IR2, and IR4 channels to visually detect the spatial distribution of ash clouds, enabling effective differentiation between volcanic ash and meteorological clouds and improving detection accuracy. The model forecasts closely match the timing and distribution patterns observed in the satellite imagery, indicating strong agreement between numerical simulation and remote sensing analysis. Overall, the results demonstrate that the PUFF model delivers reliable short-term guidance on ash dispersion, and the integration of numerical modeling and satellite-based analysis confirms its effectiveness in supporting early-warning capabilities, aviation safety, and volcanic hazard risk mitigation.

Abstract

The Bandung Basin, characterized by complex topography, experiences some of the highest occurrences of heavy rainfall and hail in Indonesia. This study focuses on forecasting convective activity associated with a thunderstorm and heavy rainfall event that triggered flooding in the Pagarsih area, West Java, on 4 October 2022. The spatiotemporal forecast characteristics of convection are assessed using atmospheric stability indices (CAPE, K Index, Total Totals Index, and Lifted Index), together with low-level convergence and updraft fields from the WRF-ARW model, to identify the development of convective cells influenced by the Bandung Basin’s topography. The results reveal a distinct spatiotemporal evolution of convection across mountainous and valley regions. In the early phase, convection first emerged over mountainous areas, driven by a gradual increase in atmospheric instability and low-level convergence, before developing over the valley. The forecasted stability indices show a rising trend 2–5 hours before the onset of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in the Pagarsih area. At the mature stage, mountain convection was mainly initiated by solar radiation heating, while valley convection was predominantly triggered by mechanical forcing, characterized by a sudden surge in low-level convergence, instability indices, and updraft, leading to more explosive convective development. During dissipation, convection weakened in both regions; however, mountainous areas exhibited stronger convective recovery, indicating higher sensitivity to surface reheating.

Abstract

Subsurface rock weakness is considered a contributing factor to the high abrasion rate along Nangai Beach, North Bengkulu. This study aims to characterize the subsurface structure using shear-wave velocity (Vs) data derived from Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) at 21 measurement points along the coastline. The data were processed using WinMASW 5.0 Professional software, beginning with dispersion curve picking in the fundamental mode and followed by inversion to generate one-dimensional Vs profiles along with corresponding density and layer thickness. Interpretation of the 1D and 2D Vs profiles indicates that most of the study area is dominated by soft rock formations with generally low Vs30 values, highlighting the area’s vulnerability to coastal abrasion. Recommended mitigation strategies include natural restoration through coastal vegetation, construction of protective structures, and implementation of regional zoning to safeguard tourism and residential areas. Furthermore, active community participation in tourism management is essential to achieve a sustainable balance between environmental preservation and economic development. Overall, the findings provide valuable input for local governments in designing effective abrasion mitigation strategies and sustainable geotourism development plans.

Abstract

At the end of 2017, the Jakarta Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) observed the formation of two tropical cyclones in the southern waters of Indonesia, namely Cempaka and Dahlia, which triggered extreme weather events and caused damage and casualties in several regions. This study aims to identify the developmental stages of tropical cyclones Cempaka and Dahlia, from formation to dissipation, and to examine atmospheric conditions before, during, and after the cyclones. The analysis employs the Dvorak technique based on Himawari-8 satellite infrared imagery to monitor cyclone intensity, supported by ECMWF reanalysis data to evaluate atmospheric parameters in the cyclone growth region. The results indicate that Cempaka and Dahlia reached the Tropical Storm (TS) category on 27 November and 1 December 2017, respectively. During the mature stage, atmospheric conditions were characterized by high relative humidity ranging from 90% to 100%, strong cyclonic circulation with negative vorticity values between −10 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ and −50 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹, and lower-level convergence indicated by negative divergence values ranging from −10 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ to −20 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹. These conditions support the development of convective clouds and the intensification of the cyclonic systems, providing insight into the role of atmospheric dynamics in the growth of tropical cyclones in the vicinity of Indonesia.

Abstract

Air pollution due to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has emerged as a critical public health concern in tropical megacities, where rapid urbanization often outpaces environmental regulation. Indonesia, characterized by limited air quality monitoring networks and complex meteorological conditions, remains particularly vulnerable to extreme pollution episodes. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of extreme PM2.5 concentrations in three Indonesian cities—Kemayoran, Semarang, and Malang—selected for their contrasting urban morphologies, topographic settings, and meteorological regimes. Using hourly PM2.5 observations from 2022 to 2024 combined with ERA5 reanalysis data, this study examines the role of atmospheric conditions in governing pollution variability across space and time. A hybrid modeling framework was implemented by integrating multiple linear regression with nonlinear machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest and XGBoost, to predict hourly PM2.5 concentrations based on meteorological variables including temperature, dew point, wind speed, precipitation, and surface pressure. The results indicate that machine learning models outperform linear methods, with Random Forest providing a strong balance between predictive accuracy and interpretability. Wind speed emerged as the most consistent predictor, followed by dew point and precipitation, exhibiting notable spatial and seasonal variability. Extreme PM2.5 episodes, defined as hourly concentrations exceeding the 95th percentile, were most frequent during dry and transitional seasons under stagnant, humid, and low-rainfall conditions. Kemayoran recorded the highest concentrations, while Malang, despite lower emission levels, demonstrated vulnerability due to weak atmospheric ventilation. Overall, the findings highlight the dominant role of meteorological stagnation in driving PM2.5 extremes and demonstrate the potential of hybrid modeling approaches for developing localized early-warning systems in tropical urban environments.

Abstract

Acid deposition in tropical regions remains under-characterized despite rapid urbanization and increasing atmospheric emissions. This study examines the spatiotemporal variability of rainwater acidity across Java Island, Indonesia, based on five years (2019–2023) of event-based observations from thirteen monitoring stations. Weekly measurements of pH, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺, Cl⁻, and rainfall volume were analyzed using spatial mapping, seasonal stratification, and linear mixed-effects modeling. The results show that 47% of rain events exhibited pH values below 5.6, while sulfate and nitrate concentrations exceeded critical ecological thresholds in up to 34% of cases, particularly during monsoon transition periods. Although ammonium buffering was observed, it was often insufficient in urban areas. Rainfall volume was significantly associated with ion concentrations; however, episodic acidic deposition remained substantial even during periods of high precipitation. These findings highlight the dual role of tropical rainfall as both a cleansing mechanism and a vector for atmospheric pollutants and provide a scientific basis for incorporating acid deposition into Indonesia’s environmental monitoring and management programs.
