We study how the ocean and atmosphere interact over Indonesia's equatorial maritime continent, turning observation and modeling into decision support systems (DSS) that serve the nation.
Beneath the calm surface of Indonesia's equatorial waters lies a constant exchange — heat, moisture, and momentum moving between ocean and atmosphere. We study these dynamics to understand how the maritime continent shapes weather far beyond its shores.

Observation becomes knowledge. Knowledge becomes prediction. Prediction becomes a Decision Support System (DSS) — a transformation that turns raw atmospheric data into tools policymakers and communities can act on.
