Indonesia, a collection of many islands situated between two continents and two oceans, is one of the few countries located on the path of several atmospheric-ocean oscillations that can trigger natural disasters such as floods due to prolonged rain, landslides, or even droughts that can reduce the stability of food security by changing planting and harvest schedule. Anomalies that occur in the movement of El Nino, La Nina, Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and even Rossby Waves have significantly changed the situation and interaction between the atmosphere, the land, and the sea in Indonesia, respectively. These changes can be fatal if proper mitigation is not carried out for each anomaly. If communities, governments, and industries do not act fast, the risk of facing even more devastating future disasters will be a reality. The need for robust mitigation strategies is paramount, and all those sides must conduct quantitative and qualitative steps in substantial ways and at a timely pace since many of the anomalies have also rapidly emerged in the past two decades.

摘要

Indonesia, a collection of many islands situated between two continents and two oceans, is one of the few countries located on the path of several atmospheric-ocean oscillations that can trigger natural disasters such as floods due to prolonged rain, landslides, or even droughts that can reduce the stability of food security by changing planting and harvest schedule. Anomalies that occur in the movement of El Nino, La Nina, Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and even Rossby Waves have significantly changed the situation and interaction between the atmosphere, the land, and the sea in Indonesia, respectively. These changes can be fatal if proper mitigation is not carried out for each anomaly. If communities, governments, and industries do not act fast, the risk of facing even more devastating future disasters will be a reality. The need for robust mitigation strategies is paramount, and all those sides must conduct quantitative and qualitative steps in substantial ways and at a timely pace since many of the anomalies have also rapidly emerged in the past two decades.
