STUDI VARIASI SALINITAS PERMUKAAN DI PERAIRAN INDONESIA

This study aims to examine the seasonal variation of sea surface salinity (SSS) in Indonesian waters based on combination of Aquarius satellite imagery data for 2012-2014 and SMAP (Soil Moisture Active-Passive) satellites in 2015-2016 with statistical approach. The validation results between sea...

Description
Summary:This study aims to examine the seasonal variation of sea surface salinity (SSS) in Indonesian waters based on combination of Aquarius satellite imagery data for 2012-2014 and SMAP (Soil Moisture Active-Passive) satellites in 2015-2016 with statistical approach. The validation results between sea surface salinity data of Aquarius satellite imagery with field data buoy array of RAMA during 2012-2014 and TRITON 2012-2016 showed a low error value of 0.0028 PSU and 0.0051 PSU respectively. The average surface salinity in Indonesian waters from 2012-2016 is worth 33.52 PSU, spatially the maximum value occurs in the Sulawesi Sea with a value of 34.18 PSU and a minimum value of 32.7 PSU in the Java Sea, whereas the maximum temporal value occurs in September with a value of 33.85 PSU and a minimum value of 33.20 PSU in April. From 2012-2016, salinity value in Indonesian waters generally experiences a minimum increase of 0.004 PSU per year, while the downward trend occurs only in the West Sumatra region of -0.078 PSU per year. Positive Iods in 2012 and 2015 do not have a significant impact on surface salinity changes when compared to EL-Nino 2015 which increases the value of surface salinity to a maximum of 1.5 PSU.
