Abstract
Banggai Waters is in the western Maluku Sea, where the secondary pathway of Indonesian Throughflow passes and seasonal coastal upwelling takes place in this region, providing a high marine productivity and potential fishing ground. This study aims to describe water mass stratification and circulation using CTD casts and SADCP section datasets from the BUDEE cruise in September 2022 onboard RV Baruna Jaya VIII. The results show that mixed layer depth varies between 43-112 m with a mean temperature of 25.82(± 0.88) ºC. North Pacific water origin (NPSW and NPIW) is present in this southern section. The depth of chlorophyll maximum is much shallower in the upwelling center. Furthermore, for the first time, we identified a strong northward flow from the Bote Strait, disrupting Banggai upwelling water with cooler and fresher Banda water. Estimates of northward transport volume through this strait is about 0.531 Sv.
