Abstract

A Tropical Cyclone (TC) as a low air pressure system which grows in the tropical region, has a significant role  to the pattern of spatial daily rainfall total condition in certain places. Especially, places where located near this TC system position. The TC Cempaka system which had occurred over Southern part of Java Coast during 25-29 November 2017, has a significant role as well in relation to the spatial condition of daily rainfal total in Indramayu District, West Java Provinced, Indonesia. The spatial condition of daily rainfall total in Indramayu District happens spreading evenly when the Cempaka TC system is still in Low Pressure Area (LPA) and Tropical Depression (TD) states. This daily rainfall total shows having higher variation from very light intensity of less than 5 mm/day up to heavy intensity of 21 - 50 mm/day. This daily rainfall total condition has a good agreement with the season condition as Rainy Season (Wet Season) from October to March. In contrary, when the TC system had already declared to be a TC Cempaka system in mature state, the spatial condition of daily rainfall total over Indramayu District shows less variation and intensity.

Commonly the spatial intensity of daily rainfall total during the mature state of TC Cempaka system activity seems only for very light (less than 5 mm/day) and light intensities (5 - 20 mm/day). This less daily rainfall total condition has clearly relationship with the wind speed condition over the region. Higher intensity in wind speed influences less developping potential convective cloud formation which is able to produce rainfall.
