| Summary: | Most of the Indonesian territory is covered by water. This causes many Indonesian
people do economic activities in waters, such as shipping and construction. These
activities have an important role in improving Indonesia economy. However, these
activities can be affected by several factors, one of them is the existence of sea waves
that affect these economic activites. In this final project research, the author will make
a map of wave climate characteristics in Indonesia which can be used as a reference
in policy making by agencies related to shipping and construction to ensure the safety
of these activities, so it can reduce losses and improve Indonesian economy. The
research method that author use is conducting wave climate modeling in Indonesian
waters from bathymetry data and wind data in Indonesian waters during 25 years
using SWAN software version 41.20, then presenting it in the form of a wave climate
map in Indonesian waters. The results showed that significant wave height range
between 0-2.5 meters, while wave period range between 0-6 seconds. Waves
characteristics in Indonesian waters vary spatially due to differences of water area.
Other than that, the author also specify several observation points to find out wave
characteristics in every waters in Indonesia. The results showed that every observation
point experiences maximum wave at different times. Waters in the northern Indonesia
experience maximum wave around December-February, while waters in the southern
Indonesia experience maximum wave around June-August. Maximum monthly
average of significant wave height is 1.358 meters, occurred in the Arafura Sea in
June. Maximum monthly average of wave period is 5.523 seconds, occurred in the
Pacific Ocean in February. These waves vary temporally due to seasonal monsoons.
