Overview
Indonesia, as part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, is home to numerous active volcanoes, making continuous real-time weather monitoring essential for disaster risk mitigation and volcanic activity assessment. Weather conditions, including rainfall, wind speed, temperature, and humidity, play a critical role in influencing volcanic hazards such as lahars, ash dispersal, and structural instability of volcanic slopes. Sudden weather changes can escalate risks, making early detection and rapid response crucial for local communities, authorities, and researchers.
To address this need, an integrated weather monitoring system is required to provide accurate, real-time meteorological data across multiple volcanic sites. This system enables early warning mechanisms, supports eruption forecasting models, and enhances decision-making for disaster preparedness and response. By leveraging automated weather monitoring stations with remote data access, authorities can improve situational awareness, minimize risks, and ensure the safety of surrounding populations.
Monitoring
To support real-time weather monitoring in Indonesia’s active volcanic regions, TeAM has deployed robust weather sensors designed to withstand extreme conditions. These sensors provide critical meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and rainfall, ensuring accurate monitoring of weather patterns that may influence volcanic activity. Installed at multiple high-risk locations, the system integrates automated data logging and telemetry for continuous data transmission, enabling early warning and disaster mitigation.
Beyond installation, TeAM ensures reliable aftersales support and remote troubleshooting, minimizing downtime and maintaining system performance. With a team of expert technicians and engineers, TeAM provides on-site maintenance and remote diagnostics to keep monitoring systems operational in extreme environments.
This comprehensive support is implemented across the following volcanoes:
- West Java: Mt. Tangkuban Parahu, Mt. Papandayan, Mt. Galunggung
- Central Java: Mt. Merapi, Mt. Sindoro Sumbing
- East Java: Mt. Bromo, Mt. Semeru, Mt. Lamongan
- Banten: Mt. Krakatau
- South Sumatera: Mt. Dempo
- West Sumatera: Mt. Marapi
- North Maluku: Mt. Gamalama, Mt. Ibu
- North Sulawesi: Mt. Karangetang
- Nusa Tenggara: Mt. Ile Lewotolok, Mt. Kelimutu
By combining advanced sensor technology and responsive support, TeAM strengthens Indonesia’s volcanic monitoring infrastructure for enhanced safety and disaster preparedness.
