VARIATION AND TREND OF SEA LEVEL DERIVED FROM ALTIMETRY SATELLITE AND TIDE GAUGE IN CILACAP AND BENOA COASTAL AREAS
Observation of sea levels continuously is very important in order to adapt the disasters in the coastal areas. Conventionally observations of sea level using tide gauge, but the number of tide gauge installed along the coast of Indonesia is still limited. Altimetry satellite data is one solution; therefore it is necessary to assess the potential and accuracy of altimetry satellite data to complement the sea level data from tide gauges. The study was conducted in the coastal waters of Cilacap and Bali by analysis data Envisat satellite altimetry for period 2003 to 2010 and data compiled from a variety of satellite altimetry from 2006 to 2014. Data tidal was used as a comparison of altimetry satellite data. The altimetry satellite data in Cilacap and Benoa waters more than 90% could be used to assess the variation and the sea level rise during the period 2003-2010. The rate of sea level rise both the data of tidal and satellite altimetry data indicates the same rate was 3.5 mm/year in Cilacap. in Benoa are 4.7 mm/year and 5.60 mm/year respectively
IDENTIFICATION OF LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION OF GEOTHERMAL AREA IN UNGARAN MOUNT BY USING LANDSAT 8 IMAGERY
Indonesia located at the confluence of Eurasian tectonic plate, Australian tectonic plate and the Pacific tectonic plate. Therefore, Indonesia has big geothermal potential. One of the areas that has geothermal potential is Ungaran Mount. Remote sensing technology can have a role in geothermal exploration activity to map the distribution of land surface temperatures associated with geothermal manifestations. The advantages of remote sensing are able to get information without having to go directly to the field with a large area, and it takes quick, so that the information can be used as an initial reference exploration activities. This study aimed to obtain the distribution of land surface temperature as a regional analysis of geothermal potential. The method of this research was a correlation of brightness temperature (BT) Landsat 8 with land surface temperature (LST) MODIS. The results of correlation analysis showed the R2 value was equal to 0.87, it shows that between BT Landsat 8 and LST MODIS has a very high correlation. Based on Landsat 8 LST imagery correction, the average of fumarole temperature and hot spring is 240C. Fumarole and hot spring are located in dense vegetation land which has average temperature around 26.90C. Land surface temperature Landsat 8 can not be directly used to identify geothermal potential, especially in the dense vegetation area, due to the existence of dense vegetation which can absorb heat energy released by geothermal surface feature
AN EFFECTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM OF DROUGHT IMPACT ON RICE PRODUCTION BASED ON REMOTE SENSING
Long droughts experienced in the past are identified as one of the main factors in the failure of rice production. In this regard, special attention to monitor the condition is encouraged to reduce the damage. Currently, various satellite data and approaches can withdraw valuable information for monitoring and anticipating drought hazards. MODIS, MTSAT, AMSR-E, TRMM and GSMaP have been used in this activity. Meteorological drought index (SPI) of the daily and monthly rainfall data from TRMM and GSMaP have analyzed for last 10-year period. While, agronomic drought index has been studied by observing the character of some indices (EVI, VCI, VHI, LST, and NDVI) of sixteen-day and monthly MODIS, MTSAT, and AMSR-E data at a period of 4 years. Network for satellite data transfer has been built between LAPAN (data provider), ICALRD (implementer), IAARD Cloud Computing, University of Tokyo (technical supporter), and NASA. Two information system have been developed: 1) agricultural drought using the model developed by LAPAN, and 2) meteorological drought developed by Takeuchi (University of Tokyo).The accuracy study using quantitative method for LAPAN model uses VHI is 60% (Kappa 0,44), while that of for University of Tokyo model uses qualitative model with KBDI value 500-600 shows an early indication of drought for paddy field. This will help the government or field officers in rapid management actions for the indicated drought area.This paper describes the implementation and dissemination of drought impact monitoring model on the area of rice production center using an integrated information system satellite based model. The two developed information systems are effective for spatially dissemination of drought information
APPLICATION OF CMORPH DATA FOR FOREST/LAND FIRE RISK PREDICTION MODEL IN CENTRAL KALIMANTAN
Central Kalimantan Province is a region with high level of forest/land fire, especially during dry season. Forest/land fire is a dangerous ecosystem destroyer factor, so it needs to be anticipated and prevented as early as possible. CMORPH rainfall data have good potential to overcome the limitations of rainfall data observation. This research is aimed to obtain relationship model between burned acreage and several variables of rainfall condition, as well as to develop risk prediction model of fire occurrence and burned acreage by using rainfall data. This research utilizes information on burned acreage (Ha) and CMORPH rainfall data. The method applied in this research is statistical analysis (finding correlation and regression of two phases), while risk prediction model is generated from the resulting empirical model from relationship of rainfall variables using Monte Carlo simulation based on stochastic spreadsheet. The result of this study shows that precipitation accumulation for two months prior to fire occurrence (CH2Bl) has correlation with burned acreage, and can be estimated by using following formula (if rainfall ≤ 93 mm): Burnt Acreage (Ha) = 5.13 – 21.7 (CH2bl – 93) (R2 = 67.2%). Forest fire forecasts can be determined by using a precipitation accumulation for two months prior to fire occurrence and Monte Carlo simulation. Efforts to anticipate and address fire risk should be carried out as early as possible, i.e. two months in advance if the probability of fire risk had exceeded the value of 40%

Spatial information about the availability and presence of green open space in urban areas to be up to date and transparent was a necessity. This study explained the technique to get the green open spaces of spatial information quickly using an index approach of Landsat 8. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of the method to detect the green open spaces, especially using Landsat 8 with a combination of several indices, namely Normalized Difference Build-up Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Difference Build-up Index (NDBI) and Normalized Difference Bareness Index (NDBaI) with a study area of Jakarta. This study found that the detection and identification of green open space classes used a combination of index and band gave good results with an accuracy of 81%
ANALYSIS OF SAR MAIN PARAMETERS FOR SAR SENSOR DESIGN ON LSA
LAPAN plans to conduct a flight test of LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft). LSA STEMME-S15 is capable of carrying sensor payloads up to 160 kg that are mounted on both sides of the wings with altitude between 400-2000 m. LSA can be designed to perform imaging by using optical sensors and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). Compared to imaging using optical sensors, SAR sensor has advantages such as it can operate all day and night, able to penetrate clouds, and able to see objects from side looking, while optical sensors generally see the object perpendicular to the ground. Therefore the use of SAR imaging technology can complement optical imaging technology. To design SAR system imagers on LSA, it is necessary to simulate the primary parameters SAR i.e. altitude and look angle of sensor, speed of LSA, SAR frequency and signals power shot to object to calculate the resolution of azimuth and ground range values that can be obtained. This SAR parameters simulation used MATLAB which have been designed with two approaches; the first approach where the SAR sensor is ideal and in which all the fundamental parameters (such as polarization, frequency, etc.) are used to generate the desired sensitivity and resolution of azimuth and ground range, and the second approach is where SAR sensor is designed in a limited antenna size (constraint case), with the assumption that the dimensions of the antenna and the average available power are fixed. The data used in this simulation is a pseudo-data obtained from LSA technical spesification and SAR sensor. The simulation results with the first approach shows that if LSA is flying at an altitude of 1000 m, with speed of 36.11 m/s, and SAR frequency of 5.3 GHz, then to get resolution of azimuth, slant range and ground range of 1 m, 1.2 m and 3 m, it is necessary to design the length and width of SAR antenna at 2 m and 13.5 cm, with look angle of 23.5 degrees. While the result of second approach simulation is that if LSA is flying on the same altitude and speed, on the same look angle and SAR frequency, with a particular design of antenna length and width of 2 m and 13.5 cm, then azimuth, slant range and ground range resolution of 1 m, 1.87 and 4.79 m will be obtained. Form both simulations, it can be concluded that limited SAR system on LSA, especially on the technical aspects of mounting and space as in the simulation with the second approach, will produce slightly lower slant range and ground range resolution when compared with SAR system in the first simulation. This shows that space limitation on LSA will affect decrease the value of spatial ground range resolution. The simulation results are expected to be inputs on designing SAR imaging system on LSA
DEVELOPMENT OF PUSHBROOM AIRBORNE CAMERA SYSTEM USING MULTISPECTRUM LINE SCAN INDUSTRIAL CAMERA
One of the steps on mastery the remote sensing technology (inderaja) for satellite was the development of aerial camera prototype that could be an alternative for LAPAN light cargo aircraft mission (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft, LSA-01). This system was expected could be operated to fulfill the emptiness or change the remote sensing data of optical satellite as the observer of vegetation covered by cloud. On this research, it was developed a prototype of pushbroom airborne camera 4-channels spectrum with very high resolution that worked on wavelength range seem near infra-red/ NIR used simple components that were available in the commercial market (commercial off-the-shelf/ COTS components). This research also developed georeference imagery software module used method of direct georeference rigorous model that had been applied on SPOT satellite. For this one, it was installed supported sensory for GPS and IMU as the writer of location coordinate and camera behavior while doing the imagery exposure or acquisition. The testing result gave confirmation that COTS components, such as industry camera LQ-200CL, and lower class GPS and IMU could be integrated became a cheaper remote sensing system, which its imagery product could be corrected systematically. The corrected data product showed images with GSD 0.4m still had positioning mistakes on average 157m (400 pixel) from the original position on GoogleEarth. On spectro-radiomatic aspect, the used camera had much higher sensitivity of NIR channel than the looked-channel so it caused bored faster. On the future, this system needed to be fixed by increasing the rate of GPS/ IMU data updates, and increased enough time resolution system so that the synchronization process and the availability supported data for completing more accurate georeference process. Besides, the sensitivity of NIR channel needed to be lower down to make it balance to the looked-channel

WATER CLARITY MAPPING IN KERINCI AND TONDANO LAKE WATERS USING LANDSAT 8 DATA
Land conversion occurred in the lake catchment area caused the decreasing of water quality in many lakes of Indonesia. According to Lake Ecosystem Management Guidelines from Ministry of Environment, tropic state of lake water is one of parameters for assessing the lake ecosystem status. Tropic state can be indicated by the quantity of nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorophyll, and water clarity. The objective of this research is to develop the water quality algorithm and map the water clarity of lake water using Landsat 8 data. The data were standardized for sun geometry correction and atmospheric correction using Dark Object Subtraction method. In the first step, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) distributions in the lake were calculated using a semi empirical algorithm (Doxaran et al., 2002), which can be applied to a wide range of TSS values. Secchi Disk Transparency (SDT) distributions were calculated using our water clarity algorithm that was obtained from the relationship between TSS and SDT measured directly in the lake waters. The result shows that the water clarity algorithm developed in this research has the determination coefficient that reaches to 0,834. Implementation of the algorithm for Landsat 8 data in 2013 and 2014 showed that the water clarity in Kerinci Lake waters was around 2 m or less, but the water clarity in Tondano Lake waters was around 2 – 3 m. It means that Kerinci Lake waters had lower water clarity than Tondano Lake waters which is consistent with the field measurement results
