Physical Condition of the Ocean to Global Climate Change Variability: Case Study in The Batam Waters, Indonesia

Abstract

Chlorophyll-a characteristics to temperature, and wind in Batam, Indonesia are parameters that are related to the changing seasons and global climate in the tropics. The results of research in the period 2012–2016 distribution of chlorophyll-a has the lowest value in 2013 is 0,96 mg/l and the highest in 2012 is 7,25 mg/l. Sea surface temperature has almost the same value that is in the range 29°C until 31°C. Statistical analyses were analyzed both individually and simultaneously characteristic of chlorophyll-a, and the temperatures in Batam waters had a real relationship, but not so closely with regression values r2 = 0,48.
