Abstract
Tropical Cyclone Seroja is one of the unique cyclone phenomena that occured in Indonesian waters. To determine its effect to the plankton concentration in East Nusa Tenggara Waters, 1-D Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, and Detritus (NPZD) ecosystem modeling was carried out. The temperature changes caused by the cyclone has a direct impact on the phytoplankton concentration and indirectly on zooplankton. The simulation shows that the peak concentration of phytoplankton due to TC Seroja occurred on 8-10 April 2021 (3.49 mmolC/m3), while for zooplankton it occurred on 20-22 April 2021 (8.55 mmolC/m3).
