Study of the Indonesia atmospheric condition for the wildfires & transboundary pollution haze/smoke occurrences during 1990 - 2017

The long drought episode over Indonesia area last 1997 as the impact of the long warming episode over the equatorial Pacific Ocean of the so-called El Nino phenomenon, it might encourage the wildfires and transboundary haze pollution over large areas most Indonesia and its adjoining areas especially some parts in South Asia region. Experiencing with several occurrences (last dry seasons at consecutive years of 1991 and 1994), it might give enough condition such that monitoring of the atmospheric condition and environment as the first important subject. The second subject should be the management of the environment in the proper way. The social character of the people over the respective burning area and the meteorological condition during the dry season are the second subjects to be considered. Coordinating for disseminating of the climate prediction information as the early warning option will be suggested for the management and control of these occurrences for the first action. Then public should expand the information for further consideration. The purpose of this paper is to assess the atmospheric condition whose support the expansion wildfires then followed by the Haze/Smoke in Indonesia in the first occurrence in the past of 1990 – 2000. Where during this period especially the year 1997 Indonesia had occurred national disaster of wildfires and it was followed by the transboundary Pollution Haze/Smoke over adjoining countries over Southeast Asia.
