Hello, my name is Muhammad Rafi Al-Hariri Nasution, I am currently studying in Meteorology Department, Bandung Institute of Technology :) You can call me Rafi, Tanjong, or Ari. I am taking minor in Atmospheric Science and Environmental Meteorology. Atmospheric science was studying about Weather and Climate prediction, but it's much deeper. We were focused on Mesoscale prediction, which is really important for short and long term decision making. Not only mesoscale prediction, we used to learn about Atmospheric teledetection (observation using radar) and ocean and atmosphere interaction. Environmental Meteorology was studying the impact of physical meteorology for the environment. Climate Change, Climate Policy, Agrometeorology, and air pollution modelling is the main subject of Environmental Meteorology.

Big data analysis (3-D, 4-D, and even 5-D of data) has been our main concern. Because in Meteorology, we tend to analyzing data temporally (T), spatially (X and Y), and even vertically (Z). Tools like matlab, excel, fortran, phyton, and R has been our daily tools to analyze this kind of data. So basically, programming, mathematics, physics, interpretation, and even data presentation is a must skills. Because, our societies, government, or client didn't really care about the process but result, and it must be as simple as possible :) So yeah, here I am, studying in one of the most complex fluids on earth (which is so random and having high uncertainty).

My Final Assignment / Thesis is "Prediction of Australian Summer Monsoon (AUSM) and The Beginning of Rainfall Season (BRS) in Java Island by Using Climate Forecast System (CFS) Version 2 Output". Kind of interpreting the output of CFS that's predicting the rain rate, and doing the downscaling data from 1 degree to be 0.25 degree, and evaluating the CFS to predict the AuSM onset and the BRS. Soon, would be registered to International conference or scopus :)
