Analysis of the influence of tropical cyclones on rainfall in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is a forming area for tropical cyclones. Because the geographical location of Indonesia is located at the Equator so that it is influenced by the Coriolis style. Most tropical cyclones are formed in between 10° and 20° areas from the equator. So that tropical cyclones only occur in the Indian Ocean and in the northern region of Indonesia (south China sea and western Pacific). Tropical cyclones are storms with great strength. The average radius of a tropical cyclone reaches 150 to 200 km. Tropical cyclones are usually sea surface temperatures, more than 26.5 C. Strong winds have speeds of more than 63 km/h which affect the intensity of rainfall in Indonesia [1]
