The climate conditions under which a phenomenon occurs play an important role in modeling. For example, when developing a modeling scenario during the maximum phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation, during a positive Dipole Mode phase, during a negative Southern Oscillation phase, or during a strong west monsoon phase, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction over Indonesian waters will differ for each phenomenon.

Full technical basis and contextOpen this section to read the complete source technical narrative.
Climate databases are highly needed in modeling as model input data. These databases are useful as one of the driving forces for currents and for representing heat energy exchange between the atmosphere and the sea surface. Various types of climate datasets are available from national and international research institutions. These databases are useful for modifying modeling scenarios influenced by diurnal, semi-diurnal, daily, monthly, seasonal, intraseasonal, and even interannual phenomena.
The climate conditions under which a phenomenon occurs play an important role in modeling. For example, when developing a modeling scenario during the maximum phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation, during a positive Dipole Mode phase, during a negative Southern Oscillation phase, or during a strong west monsoon phase, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction over Indonesian waters will differ for each phenomenon. The many climate phenomena that occur in Indonesian waters make the modeling process more complex. Therefore, climate databases are essential for modeling in Indonesian waters.
