Abstract

Extreme weather characterized by strong winds and high waves poses serious risks to maritime safety in the Indonesian Maritime Continent. This study comprehensively quantifies the impact of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS) on Significant Wave Height and Wind Speed enhancements using Himawari-8/9 imagery and multi-mission satellite altimetry. By utilizing a robust 300-km spatial filter to isolate standalone offshore events, the research employs quantile-based and multi-classification approaches to evaluate spatial and temporal anomalies. The results indicate that ocean-atmosphere coupling is highly non-linear; multilinear regression models consistently failed to predict environmental anomalies (R2
