A warning was sent out by the Indonesian Maritime Meteorological regarding tidal wave as high as 1.5 to 3 meters in the Java sea waters. The wave already claimed three ships killing 2 people and 1 person is still missing. The Maritime Geophysics Station located at Tanjung Priok continues that the high wave is predicted to continue untill Sunday (26/12/10)
The station section head Cepi Jumhana say that the high waves around the Java Sea are due to the emergence of turbulence in the southern Java Sea. This vortex created wind and waves around the Java Sea. “In addition to the Java Sea, waves with a height of 1.5 meters to 3 meters also occur in other waters, such as the Natuna Sea, Sambas Waters, and Batam Waters,” he said, Saturday (25/12/2010).
