In recent decades, frosts have been reported in several volcanic landscapes in the tropical Indonesian archipelago. However, this unique and rare phenomenon is still poorly understood and not covered in the literature. In this paper, we evaluate the influence of various geomorphological aspects on frost formation in the Dieng Volcanic Complex (DVC). There are several significant findings in this study. First, frost occurs in the dry season in various basins with land cover of natural shrubs and grasses. Second, several basin structures exist in the DVC, but not all allow frost formation. Frost formation results from a combination of factors that include air temperature with morphology and land cover type. Lastly, not all aspects of geomorphology affect the appearance of frost; they are limited to morphology/structure and land cover material. In summary, this paper provides new insight into the influence that the geomorphological conditions of volcanic complexes have on climatic control over the formation of frost.
