The few previous studies of precipitation isotopes (delta O-18 and delta D) in Indonesia, based on low spatial resolution observation datasets, have found several types of patterns in their seasonal variabilities. This study conducted high spatial resolution rainfall sampling and investigated the temporal characteristics of precipitation isotope in Indonesia. Rainfall samples were collected weekly from 33 stations in Indonesia. Cluster analysis showed that Indonesia could be divided into four types based on the seasonal variability of the precipitation of delta O-18. The majority of stations showed seasonal patterns in the variability of delta O-18, characterized by high values in the dry season (July-October) as type 1. Type 2 also showed one peak of high delta O-18 but in the longer period (June-November) was similar to type 1 stations. A region of Northwest Indonesia, comprising North and Central Sumatra and western Borneo, was identified as type 3, having two peaks of high delta O-18 values in January-February and May-August. Another pattern of variability was the anti-monsoonal type, indicated by low delta O-18 in May-July found in east part of Indonesia. Asia-Australia monsoon regime was the main factor that controls seasonal delta O-18 variability. This research showed that stable isotope in precipitation could correspond to precipitation climatology in Indonesia.
