The aim of this research is to get more knowledge about sea level height over Indonesian seas and it surroundings that can be used to determine sea level rise, to see the effect of El nino - La nina and to see the relationship between sea level height with flow dynamics of Indonesian seas.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Topex/Poseidon altimetry satellite data from 1992 until 2002, was used to determine sea level height by means of Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method and then phenomena related to sea level height such as trend of sea level rise, the effects of El Nino-La Nina and flow dynamics were investigated.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Analysis of sea level height obtained from Topex/Poseidon data shows the axpected phenomena such as sea level rise, the effect of El Nino-La Nina, and its relation to the dynamics of Indonesian seas. In narrow straits such as Malaka Strait, Sunda Strait, and Makassar Strait the flow patterns are controled by the gradient of sea level height whereas in open seas like Karimata Strait and Java sea the flow patterns are dominated by monsoon winds.
