Knowing What IOD Is, The Climate Phenomenon That Makes The Dryer The Dry Season In Indonesia
YOGYAKARTA The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said the Indian Ocean Dipole Index (IOD) at the end of June 2023 showed a neutral condition (+0.21) and it was predicted that a positive IOD condition would occur again until at least October 2023. This condition could make the dry season drier even though several areas had been hit by heavy rain a few days ago. So what is an IOD?
Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) or Dipol Samudra Indies is a difference in sea surface temperature (Sea Surface Temperature/SST) between the East and West Indian Ocean.
The climate phenomenon in the Indian Ocean can significantly affect weather and climate patterns in the surrounding region, including parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
The IOD climate index is closely monitored by weather forecasters, as this phenomenon has an impact on the sub-season and seasonal time span.
According to the World Climate Service, the Dipol Samudra Indies is considered a branch of the Indian Ocean from Cell Walker, which is related to the Southern Oscillation of El Nino (El Mariju-Southern Oscillation/ENSO).
Meanwhile, according to the Dipole Mode Index (DMI), the IOD is the size of the sea surface temperature anomaly gradient (SST) between the western equatorial Indian Ocean (50E-70E and 10S-10N) and the southeastern equatorial Indian Ocean (90E-110E and 10S-0N).
Dipol Collapse in the western Indian Ocean and the eastern Indian Ocean can drive convection and change the circulation of Walker's Cell.

Changes in temperature in the Indian Ocean generally move in line with the South Oscillation phase of El Nino (ENSO), but there are times when dipoles can appear on their own during neutral ENSO.
As a phenomenon of sea surface temperature oscillation, the IOD has several phases that each contribute to determining important aspects of the local and global climate, among others:
