CSP - LOMBOK MEETING 2015 - INDONESIAN THROUGHFLOW (ITF)
Abstract
Tomography Lombok Strait Meeting 2015: A vast challenge to monitor Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) Date: November 3-7, 2015 Co-conveners: Fadli Syamsudin, Xiaohua Zhu, Chen-Fen Huang and Arata Kaneko Sponsored by BPPT, UNRAM, HU and ONR_Global Measurement of Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is still a key issue of world climate change research because systematic, long-term measurement of ITF transport is lacked even for major pathways such as Makassar Strait, Lombok Strait and Ombai Strait. Applicability of Coastal Acoustic Tomography (CAT), an innovative oceanographic technology, to strait throughflow measurement will be intensively discussed in this meeting. A new development of CAT (mirror-CAT) by using the mirror reflection of underwater sound is proposed to monitor the ITF transport in real time and provides a critical material of discussion. International collaboration with other researchers who advance ongoing or planning projects on Indonesian sea studies and ITF is also another important issue to be pursued in the meeting. Three opening addresses will be done by the preseident of University of Mataram, the Dupty Chairman of BPPT and the Director of SEACORM KKP. One keynote speech and five invited presentations are planned in the plenary session of the first day. Nine regular presentations are prepared in the second and third days, including a possibility of additional presentations. Field surveys are planned to inspect the tomography site and its application to a marine aquaculture field in the fourth and fifth days, respectively.
