Siswanto was awarded a PhD degree from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for the project entitled “Climate Scenario for the greater Jakarta derived from physical understanding and future projection based on observation and modelling studies”. This research aimed to analyze changes in precipitation extremes, both in terms of intensity and occurrence, in the greater Jakarta region. Such physical conditions, as well as changes in ambient climate conditions responsible for extreme events, e.g., their response to increased global mean temperature, urbanization creating the urban heat island effect, land use and land cover changes, and aerosol, will be investigated to gain an understanding of the changing character of precipitation. This project will also deliver insights into how future precipitation extremes in this region are projected to change based on physical understanding and modelling results. That eventually, such a climate scenario will be constructed.
I finished Siswanto got his M.Sc. in climate sciences at the Physics Institute/Institute of Applied Physics, University of Bern, in May 2010 with a thesis entitled "Pacific Climate Variability Changes in Response to Freshwater Discharge in the North Atlantic". In this thesis, changes of climate variabilities and climate modes over the Pacific Ocean and the Northern Hemisphere, such as ENSO, PDO, and NAM, were investigated due to their response to Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) slowdown. He graduated BSc in Physics from the University of Indonesia (2006). The BSc's work studied the wind stress curl pattern over the Java Sea and the Indian Ocean southern Java, in association with upwelling processes by using a barotropic model, which was then confirmed by NOAA AVHRR data.
