Judul: Pengaruh media Kompos Acacia Mangium Willd dan Wan's Pith terhadap pertumbuhan Semai Acacia Mangium Willd
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah limbah-limbah hutan yang telah dikomposkan yaitu berupa kompos serasah A. mangium, kompos campuran serasah A. mangium dengan serbuk gergaji dan wan's pith, pada berbagai komposisi dapat menggantikan tanah sebagai media semai dan mendukung pertumbuhan semai A. mangium yang lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan media semai dari tanah podsolik merah kuning. Bahan dan alat yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah benih A. mangium, kompos serasah A. mangium, kompos serasah A. mangium dengan serbuk gergaji (dari LITBANG Kehutanan, Bogor), wan's pith (serbuk sabut kelapa berbentuk bata/brick), pot trays, neraca, termohigrometer, mistar dan kaliper. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama tiga bulan yaitu sejak bulan Oktober sampai Desember 1997. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 9 perlakuan jenis media dan masing-masing perlakuan terdiri dari 20 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media E (kompos searasah A. mangiun dan wan's pith (1:1)) menghasilkan rata-rata pertambahan tinggi semai yang terbaik yaitu 2.65 cm, meningkat 37.3% dibandingkan dengan kontrol, kemudian diikuti oleh media F (kompos serasah A. mangium dan wan's pith (2:1)) yaitu 2.50 cm, meningkat 29.5% dan media D (wan's pith) yaitu 2.38 cm atau meningkat 23%. Sedangkan untuk nisbah pucuk akar, media yang menghasilkan NPA yang terendah adalah media D yaitu sebesar 3.36, meningkat 13.6% dibandingkan kontrol diikuti oleh media H (kompos campuran serasah A. mangium dengan serbuk gergaji dan wan's pith (2:1)) sebesar 3.51 yang berarti meningkat 9.8%.

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
