BJ-III on stationary observations

Dear colleagues, sorry for my belated forwarding (because of the flood
workshop etc. in daytime today). (Sorry also for my miswriting vessel
name.)
According to a message from BJ team to Dr.Yamada on 11 WIB today:
- BJ has started stationary observations from 06 UT (13 WIB) yesterday.
- At surface strong NW wind around 10 m/s and waves around 3 m are
continued from yesterday.
- A shower occurred last night. Such a diurnal cycle of night rain
is dominant for these days.
- BJ team is planning to return to Jakarta in the morning on Dec.21,
and to visit BMKG Jakarta for a meeting in the afternoon on the same
day. After that they will leave Jakarta in the evening on Dec.23.
Best regards,
MDY at BPPT, Jakarta
The flood workshop has been finished successfully. Pak Fadli, Pak
Udrekh and Pak Seto have presented SATREPS, SIJAMPANG and UPTHB
activities, respectively. In the opening ceremony Ibu Sri Woro did
a very excellent keynote talk over 30 min which gave a summary of
100-year historical occurrence of floods in Jakarta (by which she
denied so-called 5-year period in usual people as a rumor), as well
as ENSO and IOD+/-, pointed out importance of monsoon surges and
MJOs, and also intercomparison between numerical predictions such
as NOAA, APCC, JAMSTEC (SINTEX) etc. Pak Fadli's presentation
confirmed her talk based on our collaborations, and emphasized
additional importance of diurnal cycles and radar observations.
