Introduction

Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has 13,466 islands with an area of 3,257,483
km2 (Geographic Information Agency, 2013). Indonesian waters are geographically located
between two large oceans namely the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. So much marine activity
and oceanographic phenomena that occur in Indonesia. This condition forms a system of
circulation of mass water trajectory from the Pacific Ocean to Indian Ocean that passes Indonesian
waters or commonly known as Indonesian cross flow (Arlindo) (Wyrtki 1961, Fieux et al., 1996).

This circle will bring warm water mass from the Pacific Ocean to the relatively cool Indian
Ocean. with the difference in the mass water supply resulting in changes in water conditions that
ultimately affect the low water productivity (Wyrtki, 1961). Tisch et al. (1992) said the change in
the condition of a water mass can be determined by looking at the properties of water masses
including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient content.

The study of the oceanic oceanography aspects of Indonesia has been largely done in
areas of phenomena and special processes related to activities. Examples of upwelling areas in
Indonesia and Indonesia's closest waters, the Straits of Makassar by Ilahude (1970, 1978), off the
coast of Bali by Ilahude (1975), Nontji and Ilahude (1975), Banda, Maluku, Halmahera and the
Seram Sea by Birowo and Ilahude (1977), Sunda Strait by Ilahude and Ermaitis (1992), Arafura Sea
Ilahude Et al (1990), and along the southern coast of Java to Sumbawa by Ilahude (1992) (Hutomo
et al., 2005).

From the 1980s onwards, there was an increase in people's interest in Indonesian Waters
between oceanographers and meteorologists. For example, a joint study of the program between
Indonesia and France from 1989 to 1995 whose purpose was to investigate Arlindo's transport
and its variability when entering the Indian Ocean between Bali and Australia Fieux et al (1994,
1996) and at its outlet Lorong through the straits of the Lesser Sunda Islands Molcard Et al (1994,
1996). Then the expedition resulted in several publications about the distribution of water masses
and through the Arlindo pathway, eg Gordon and Fine (1996), Ilahude and Gordon (1996), Gordon
et al. (1996), Susant and Gordon (2005) (Hutomo et al., 2005).

Makassar Strait is the main path arlindo where arlindo, these waters are located around
the equator, which is astronomically located at 116O 22 'BT - 120O 25' east longitude and 1 04 04
'LU-53O 53' LS. Due to Makassar Strait in arlindo, this resulted in the variation of oceanographic
parameters vertically. Distribution of the temperature in a vertical (vertical) waters of Indonesia
is divided into three layers, Temperature decreases regularly in accordance with the depth. The
deeper the temperature will be lower or cooler. This is due to the lack of intensity of the sun that
enter into the waters. At depths exceeding 1000 meters the water temperature is relatively
constant and ranges from 2 C - 4 C (Hutagalung, 1988).

The temperature oceanographic data, the salinity of density and depth in a waters can be
obtained from direct measurement in the field using instruments eg CTD (Conductivity
Temperature Depth), Mooring. Apart from the direct measurements in the field, temperature data
can be obtained also through satellite data, and with technological advancements in the present
we are facilitated to include oceanographic parameter data at sea, temperature data, density
salinity now many organizations or agencies providing data or information information on
oceanographic information can be accessed both openly and unpaid (open source) or paid. One is
the availability of temperature, salinity and density data of an area derived from the modeling
results of HYCOM, INDESO, My Ocean (Susilo and Hanintyo, 2014).
 The Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) system runs efficiently on shared and
large-scale computers and includes satellite altimetry (SSH) and sea surface temperature (SST)
data as well as in-situ temperatures, salinity, and float displacements. INDESO has an oceanic
model model project called Mercator Ocean, The Oceanic estimation system operates at a
horizontal resolution of 1 / 12, provides forecast forecast of 10 days and updated weekly.
MyOcean is a FP7 space project for monitoring and forecasting services of GMES Ocean that
generates ocean information based on observations and modes of generating ocean information
based on observations and models. Model eligibility is determined by comparing model results
with observation or validation with field data (Susilo and Hanintyo, 2014 ).

Given the importance of the availability of oceanographic data while the availability of
observation data or the field is usually not continuous. While the data requirement is very
necessary, the data model becomes one of the solutions of the problem because the data model
is usually continuous and will continue to be updated, but the model data needs to be tested or
in further study to determine the level of accuracy, it is necessary research that aims to match or
validate model results data to verified data or field measurement data (observation) (Susilo and
Hanintyo, 2014).

The high dynamics of oceanography that occur in Indonesian waters become interesting
things for study. Parameters of temperature oceanography, salinity and density in this waters can
be obtained from the modeling results, with the result of modeling that is not a real result but
obtained from mathematical approach then the data can not be trusted before the validation of
data with field data or data gotten from the directly measurement. How the comparison of model
and field oceanographic parameters will be the research problem studied in this study.

The purpose of the study to examine the parameters of oceanographic temperature and
modeled salinity data from HYCOM, MERCATOR OCEAN, GMES Ocean and verify the World Ocen
Database observation data. The benefits of this research are expected to increase knowledge in
the field of physical oceanography, especially about the oceanographic physical parameters, and
is expected to be used as the main data and supporting data as well as other reference research
next.
