The focus of this study is to investigate whether ENSO and DMI phenomenon have any influence on the sea surface temperature on Indonesian Sea. This study used the data from AQUA MODIS satellite and sea surface temperature data from 1982-2013. By comparing the average monthly satellite data from January 2015- May 2016 to the data from 1982-2013, this study will be able to see how the sea surface temperature in Indonesia Seas are influenced by the presence of ENSO and DMI phenomenon. In the Eastern part of Indian Ocean, specifically in the southern part of Java Island, the sea surface temperature can be as low as 25 C in September. The same number for sea surface temperature can also be found in the Arafura Sea in September 2015, while the highest sea surface temperature in both Arafura Sea and the Eastern part of the Indian Ocean can be as high as 29 C in January 2015 and January 2016. For the Java Sea and Banda Sea, these two is located in the middle part of the Indonesia and only shown the little influence from the ENSO and DMI phenomenon. However, there is an anomaly in Banda Sea around August 2015, the sea surface temperature there is shown to be dropping as low as 25 C. almost every sea in Indonesia is influenced by the ENSO and DMI phenomenon. However, the amount of influence ENSO and DMI has depends on the size and the place of the sea.
