Customer Satisfaction Survey on The Services of Institute of Oceanography and Environment (INOS), UMT

We would like to inform you that INOS is currently conducting a customer satisfaction survey to assess the quality of our services for all customers.

To achieve this goal, we kindly request the cooperation of YBhg. Dato’ / Prof. / Assoc. Prof. / Dr. / Mr. / Mrs. to provide feedback and suggestions / comments (if any) by completing the feedback form at the following link:

MFAST - Malaysia Marine Forecast System

The MFAST is developed under the collaboration between UMT and First Institute of Oceanography (FIO), China, which is a supplementary product of the Ocean Forecasting Demonstration System (OFDS) for Southeast Asian Water; one of the Southeast Asian Global Ocean Observing System (SEAGOOS) pilot projects under the auspices of the IOC Sub-Commissions for the Western Pacific (IOC/WESTPAC).

MFAST is the first OFS in Malaysia to have a high-resolution ocean forecast data which is developed based on wave-tide-circulation coupled model established by the Laboratory of Marine Sciences and Numerical Modelling (MASNUM), FIO. 

Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research

The project will realize the vision and mission of the Asia-Pacific Network (APN) Goals and Action Agenda by providing an understanding on how marine ecosystems reduce the risk along the coastal area under present and future climate scenarios in the tropic. These complex issues are related to the APN research agenda, namely climate, biodiversity and ecosystem, risk, and resilience. Our research will perform the analyses and involve experts, local stakeholders, in accordance with APN’s mission.

Abstract

While the sinking formation of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is well understood, how this bottom water "returns home" through upwelling within ocean basins, particularly the Indo-Pacific, remains shrouded in uncertainty. In the 1960s, Munk’s classic "Abyssal Recipes" theory sought to explain these abyssal flows, yet later observations exposed two significant conflicts with real-world data. In 2016, Ferrari, McDougall, and colleagues proposed the "Towards a New Abyssal Recipe" framework, introducing bottom boundary layer (BBL) upwelling to address Munk’s inconsistencies. Drawing on recent evidence of a potential cooling trend in the deep ocean, this talk revisits these debates, offering a fresh interpretation of Munk’s discrepancies and proposing a new mechanism for abyssal upwelling in the Indo-Pacific. It contributes to the ongoing quest to unravel how bottom waters complete their global journey.
