Station Description:

General Description:

Meteorological (atmospheric RADAR) observations at Bukit Minankabau in Sumatera Island, Indonesia have been conducted since 1998 by Radio Science Center for Space and Atmosphere (RASC), Kyoto University. An Automatic Weather Station (AWS) has also been established in 1999. Observational station is located on the mountainous range of steep mountains along to the western coast of Sumatera Island.

Frontier Observational Research System for Global Change (FORSGC) of Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) has been conducted surface and upper air observations to examine the distribution and the transportation processes of water vapour over the Indonesian maritime continent since 2001 under the research collaborations with the Indonesian Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) and RASC, Kyoto University.
