Abstract

Particulate organic carbon (POC) is one of the essential variables in oceanic biogeochemical processes. Assessing the spatiotemporal variability of POC will help deepen our understanding of the carbon cycle. In this study we collected moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua satellite data for surface POC in Indonesian waters during the period 2002–21, together with in situ data from the south-western Sumatran waters (SSW), Sunda Strait, Sumba–Savu waters and the Halmahera Sea and surrounds. These data were analysed to gain an understanding of the spatial and temporal variations in POC. Generally, high POC concentrations in Indonesian waters were found at coastal and continental shelves connected to the estuaries of large rivers; we assume that the POC concentrations in these areas are affected by terrestrial input. Meanwhile, in Indonesian waters apart from these estuaries, marine-derived materials are the main components of POC. The seasonal pattern of POC in Indonesian waters generally shows highest levels during the south-east monsoon and lowest levels during the north-west monsoon. Trends in POC concentrations are positively correlated with chlorophyll-a and negatively correlated with sea surface temperature. This study suggests that the combination of natural physicochemical processes and anthropogenic perturbations has significant effects on spatial and temporal variations in POC in Indonesian waters.

Keywords: anthropogenic perturbations, Indonesian waters, marginal seas, particulate organic carbon, physicochemical processes, spatial and temporal variation.
