| Summary: | This study analyzed the variation of chlorophyll-a concentration and sea surface
temperature in the Sawu Sea in 2020. The analysis was conducted to monitor the
spatial and temporal changes of chlorophyll-a concentration and sea surface
temperature. Spatial and temporal variations of chlorophyll-a concentration and
sea surface temperature in the Sawu Sea are influenced by the Australia-Indonesia
Monsoon (AIM) winds, upwelling phenomena, fronts, and local water phenomena.
The data used comes from Aqua-MODIS for 12 months in 2020. The results showed
that the eastern part of the Sawu Sea has higher chlorophyll-a concentrations than
the western part, with values reaching up to 0.6 mg/m³. Temporally, chlorophyll-a
concentrations increased between May and October, reaching 0.6 mg/m³ compared
to other months. Sea surface temperature (SST) decreased during the same period,
reaching 26.85°C. The correlation results show that there is an inverse relationship
between chlorophyll-a concentration and sea surface temperature. |
