Abstract
The dynamics of cloud rain especially in area of Jakarta represent to important matter in seeking of step solution, to prevention of floods especially in Jakarta. The research of convection pattern above area of DKI-Jakarta based on to existing perception data, especially high resolution satellite image which is expected will give the understanding of growth of convection cloud yield torrential rains and deliver floods in DKI-Jakarta.The result of research into whereas in this research is obtained by the study of extreme rainfall in DKI-Jakarta. As rainfall data result of average from some stations is residing in DKI-Jakarta.
The rainfall data taken end 2001- early 2002 year, where happened the floods with pond more than 10 day source data of Kimpraswil-Cilsi. The result of research is obtained by analysis whereas, that cloud dynamics in DKI-Jakarta caused by local atmospheric circulation’s factor.
Keywords : Flood, cloud dynamics and satellite image.
