All rights reserved.In this research the composition of water masses in the North Sulawesi (Sangihe Talaud) waters as part of the Indonesian Throughflow is investigated and analysed by using the Optimum Multi Parameter Analysis (OMP). The data used is the World Ocean Atlas data (WOA 13) in 1° x 1° latitude longitude resolution. Main data are the salinity, temperature and pressure. The Optimum Multiparameter analysis was used to calculate the percentage of each water mass contribution in the study waters. The contributions are 20-60% at 200-500 m depth for The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), 90-100%at around 0-100 meters depth for The North Pacific Subtropical Water (NPSW),100%at 900-1500 meters depth for the South Pacific Intermediate Water (SPIW)and 80-100% at 1100-1500 meters depth for TheAntartic Intermediate Water (AAIW). Surprisingly, the South Pacific Subtropical Water (SPSW) does not have any contribution and largest heat content comes from the AAIW. Magnitudes for each heat content of water types calculated in this study for NPIW, NPSW, AAIW, SPSW, and SPIW are in the range of 1.5 × 1014∼ 1.7 × 1014 J/m2, 2 × 1012∼ 9.9 × 1012 J/m2, 2.7 × 1014∼ 3.1 × 1014 J/m2, 0 ∼ 4.3 × 1011 J/m2, and 1.8 × 1014∼ 2 × 1014 J/m2, respectively. Eventhough the AAIW has the lowest temperature range but its large contribution in the waters outnumbers the warmer water masses.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Indonesian throughflow,Intermediate waters,Multiparameter analysis,Multiparameters,Pacific intermediate water,Subtropical water,Temperature and pressures,Temperature range[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was fully funded by the Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education Indonesia Republic, PDUPT (Penelitian Dasar UnggulanPerguruan Tinggi) scheme in 2018.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1277/1/012041[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
