Project TIDAL MIXING
Principal Investigator Richard Ray (NASA), R. Dwi Susanto (University of Maryland)
Grant National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), USA
Objectives To seek tidal mixing signatures in Indonesian seas from satellite sea surface temperature data



Figure 1. Tidal mixing signatures of fortnightly signal in the Indonesian Seas. High amplitude (red) represents strong tidal mixing: Sulu Sill and along the Lesser Sunda Island chain (Bali to Timor islands). Marginal amplitude is observed in the Seram Sea region. Meanwhile, Banda Sea does not exhibit a strong tidal mixing [Ray and Susanto, 2016].
