Judul: Analisis Karakteristik Parameter-Parameter Atmospheric Boundary Layer dengan Data Radiosonde (Studi Kasus : Kota Serang)
Abstrak: Atmospheric Boundary Layer as the air layer directly affected by the earth’s surface where the surface effects (friction, heating and cooling) felt directly on a time scale less than a day. Case study in this paper is Serang. The data used is the radiosonde data. In describing the atmospheric boundary layer requires a parameter, such as the virtual potential temperature, mixing ratio, and wind speed. Sketch the pattern of vertical virtual potential temperature continued to rise during the day on SL layer, then decreased and more homogeneous in the ML layer, increased in tiitk CI with the result that CI is higher than the night, early morning, or late afternoon. Vertical profiles of Mixing ratio, maximum humidity during the day will continue to decline at the surface and in the lining of SL, when entering the ML layer, as the turbulence becomes homogeneous, and when it reaches the CI. Wind speeds in Region Attacking at night more than early morning (01.00) morning (at 07.00) and afternoon (13:00), it is because there is a strong influence of intense turbulence during the day.

Judul: Dinamika Lapisan Perbatas pada Dua Wilayah dengan Karakter Berbeda (Studi Kasus: Bandara Soekarno Hatta dan Situ Gede Dramaga Bogor)
Abstrak: Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) was the layer which affected by the surface's layer underneath. Different characteristics on the surface will affect the dynamics in boundary layer. This study aims to determine the height of ABL which was influenced by differences of surface characteristics at different times and places. This study conducted in two different surface characteristics of area, these are Bandara Soekarno Hatta as urban area and Situ Gede Dramaga Bogor as agricultural area. Meteorological parameters data from radiosonde were analyzed with the approachment from vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and wind speed also atmospheric stability condition. The average height of ABL in Bandara Soekarno Hatta was higher than Situ Gede Dramaga Bogor, and that was because the differences of surface characteristics, moisture content and temperature between air. Atmospheric conditions at both areas tend to be stable in the morning and evening then unstable during the day. Based on the pattern of vertical profiles ABL parameter, the value of the temperature near the surface was greater at Bandara Soekarno Hatta compared to Situ Gede Dramaga Bogor and inversely proportional to the value of the humidity. Fluctuation for temperature and moisture in each areas had consistency meanwhile the wind speed in both areas had fluctuated. That shows the moisture content and the difference of surface characteristics affect the value of the temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
