• Wyrtki, K., 1961. “Physical Oceanography of the

Southeast Asian Waters”. Scientific Results of Marine
Investigations of the South China Sea and the Gulf of
Thailand 1959-1961, Naga Report Vol. 2. The
University of California, Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, La Jolla, California.
• In 1954, when I left Germany for a three year stay in
Indonesia, I suddenly found myself in an area of seas and
islands of particular interest to the oceanographer. Indonesia
lies in the region which forms the connection between the
Pacific and Indian Oceans, and in which the monsoons cause
strong seasonal variations of climate and ocean circulation.

• The scientific publications dealing with this region show not so

much a lack of observations as a lack of an adequate attempt
to synthesize these results to give a comprehensive description
of the region. Even Sverdrup et al. in “The Oceans” and
Dietrich in “Allgemeine Meereskunde” treat this region
superficially except in their discussion of the deep sea basins,
whose peculiarities are striking.
 Konfigurasi Dasar Laut Indonesia
• Shelves = Paparan
• Deep Sea Basins = Laut dalam
• Through = Palung Laut/parit (?). Dari 25 through di
dunia, panjangnya 270 – 2300 km, rata-rata 750 km,
lebarnya antara 20 – 100 km, rata-rata 500 km.
Through lebih dangkal dan lebih sempit, lebih gentle
(lembut / tidak tajam) dibanding Trench. Contoh :
Papuan Through maksimum kedalaman 2300 meter
dan Banda Through maksimum kedalaman 7440
meter)
• Trenches = Palung Samudra. Lebih dalam dan
lebih panjang dari palung laut/parit.
– South Java Trench : 2600 km panjang, kedalaman
maksimum 7725m pada posisi 10o19’ LS
109o58’BT pada 320km selatan Yogyakarta.
– Kedalaman Mariana Trench 10924 m.
