In this research, the origin of the wildfire area is assessed by using the potential of burn severity and the WRF-SFIRE model. This research focuses on the mountainous savanna region, by taking the case of the Gililawa Darat wildfire event. The most accurate index among Sentinel-2B optical burn severity indices, i.e. dNBR, MIRBI, dMIRBI, CSI, dCSI, NDVI, dNDVI, EVI, and dEVI and among Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS thermal and mixed burn severity indices, i.e. LST, dLST, LST/EVI, and d(LST/EVI) was used to map the areas with low burn severity, an indication generally found at origin area. A series of fire spread simulation from these areas was conducted using WRF-SFIRE to assess the accuracy of each simulation in reproducing the burned area. The burn severity accuracy assessment showed that dNBR and dCSI indices had the highest value of Overall Accuracy and Kappa Hat Coefficient, i.e. 91.67% and 0.889 (almost perfect agreement). However, dNBR was the most suitable index for mapping burn severity in the region due to its goodness-of-fit measure for linear regression model with the R-squared value of 0.7856. The assessment of thermal and mixed burn severity indices based on Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS resulted in LST, LST/EVI, and d(LST/EVI) gained the same overall accuracy of 58.33% and Kappa Hat Coefficient of 0.444 indicating moderate agreement, whereas dLST performed poorer than these indices. However, it is not recommended to use these burn severity indices in the region due to the nonlinearity of severity level with the index value. According to WRF-SFIRE simulations result, it was found that fire ignition started from low burn severity area coordinates which have a distance of 0 to 334 metres from the origin area resulting in fire area witan h overall accuracy value range from 77.04% to 81.90% and Kappa Hat Coefficient value range from 0.536 to 0.626. The simulation from the origin area resulted in an overall accuracy of 81.57%, a Kappa hat coefficient of 0.613, underestimated burned area ratio of 0.08, overestimated burned area ratio of 0.23, and a backing fire perimeter difference ratio of 0.4 to the reference.

Air as an important environmental component in life that needs to be maintained and improved in quality. The presence of human activity causes the composition of clean air to undergo changes. Air pollution is caused by several factors. One of them is the industrial activities of power plants that use fossil fuels and natural gas. This research was conducted to monitor the distribution of emissions produced by power plants in PT. Indonesia Power Bali PGU uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and is validated using the paired t-test method. The result is that the direction of distribution of each emission parameter (SO2, NO2 and Dust (TSP)) follows the wind direction according to data obtained from BMKG with a downward trend according to the distance traveled. This is because emissions are propagated by wind with dispersion variables at any given distance. The degree of validity of the modeling analysis with the results of ambient air quality measurements at each monitoring point of the SO2 and NO2 parameters is no difference between the results obtained. However, for dust parameters (TSP) there are significant differences. This is due to atmospheric conditions at the time of sampling, the location of the monitoring point surrounded by buildings, 1 sample point being on the side of the highway, and community activities around the monitoring point location.

Corn is a strategic agricultural commodity in Central Java Province because this plant is the second main food crop commodity after rice. Evaluation of agro-climate suitability aims to assess suitable areas based on climatic conditions and efforts to overcome climate-limiting factors in order to achieve optimal productivity in corn cultivation. Satellite imagery can be used to overcome the lack of density of climate stations, which are the source of data for climate suitability evaluation. This study aims to validate GSMaP satellite rainfall data and Terra MODIS satellite air temperature data against BMKG observation data, create a distribution map of climatic conditions, and create a distribution map of agro-climate suitability classes based on GIS for maize in Central Java Province. This study uses rainfall and temperature data from 30 BMKG observation points and satellite imagery data for 20 years (2001–2020). The correlation values, RMSE, and MBE were calculated to validate satellite rainfall and air temperature data with observed rainfall and air temperature. Satellite data correction calculations are used to fill in the data at points without observation. The validation results show that the satellite data is valid and that there is a pattern of conformity with the observational data. Central Java province has an annual rainfall of 1,500 mm/year to 6,000 mm/year, an average annual temperature of 24.9oC to 28.1oC, and three to nine months of wet months. In some areas, the agro-climate suitability class for maize plants was in the moderately suitable category (S2wa, tc) with an area of 156,302 ha, marginally suitable (S3wa) with an area of 1,277,813 ha, and not suitable (Nwa) with an area of 2,008,673 ha.

Global warming and biodiversity loss are critical issues, and forest retention and reforestation programs are crucial in mitigating climate change. However, discussions around these programs often exclude the role of urban vegetation in carbon sequestration. Preserving urban vegetation, such as trees, can also significantly reduce carbon emissions. Urban vegetation can be found in two main locations: Urban Green Open Spaces (UGS) and Road Landscapes (RL). In Denpasar Bali, Glodokan Tiang or Polyalthia longifolia trees are planted at those locations. Data management and carbon stock calculation mechanisms are required to demonstrate the contribution of urban vegetation in terms of carbon sequestration. The technology of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can be used as an alternative to efficiently calculate the estimated carbon stock. The calculation uses the Diameter Breast High (DBH) value approach using the canopy area and Canopy Height Model (CHM) obtained from UAV data processing using the Sfm method. UAV estimates show that the highest Above Ground Biomass (AGB) value at Bajra Sandhi Renon Field is 201.59 kg with a stored carbon content of 94.75 kg, while on I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bypass has the highest AGB value of 215.04 kg with a stored carbon content of 101.07 kg. These results have been validated by field observations, where the results of the regression analysis at the location of Bajra Sandhi Renon and I Gusti Ngurah Rai, show that between field observation data and estimation data with UAV there is no significant difference. While the results of the t-test: Paired Two Sample for Means at the Bajra Sandhi Renon Field and the Bypass I Gusti Ngurah Rai have a value above the significance level which proves that there is no significant difference between the carbon stock value from field observations and the carbon stock from the UAV approach.

In recent years, oil spill accidents very often occur due to the development of sea transportation and oil exploitation. Increased exploitation of oil resources is a concern for oil spills that are very harmful to marine ecosystems. On July 12 2019, there was a well kick in the well reactivation YYA-1 owned by PT. Pertamina Hulu Energi work area Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) in Karawang Sea. The oil spill were spread up to Banten and continued to spread widely. Remote sensing is one of the methods that can be used to detect and monitor the oil spill by quickly viewing the location and spill points, and the pace and direction of the oil that can be utilized for cleaning. This research aims to determine the detection of oil spill using Sentinel-1A imagery and to determine oil spill patterns in Karawang Sea before spills occur until the well YYA-1 was closed that was on October 7 2019. This detection is done with adaptive threshold algorithm through Sentinel applications platform (SNAP). The results showed that oil spill has a trajectory spread pattern at the beginning of the spill which occur on July 18 2019. After July 18th, the spread pattern turned random and interrupted the spreading process. The spread has an estimated spread area of 145.85 km2. The spread of oil spill moved towards the northwest to the west approaching the coast and further away from the source of the spill, to Pandjang Island, Banten.

The coastal area is an intersection between mainland and ocean. The tourism potential in the coastal area of Bulak District in Surabaya is expanded. It is shown by the construction of Surabaya Bridge in 2015. This construction will affect land use change. Remote sensing technology is one of the acquisitions to monitor land use change. This research focuses on identifying the land use change in the coastal area in Bulak District, Surabaya, in 2014 and 2020, as well as to determine the accuracy of classification method applied for mapping the land use change in 2020.

The study location of landslide is in Hokkaido, Japan which occurred due to the Iburi Earthquake 2018. In this study the landslide has been estimated by the fully Polarimetric SAR (Pol-SAR) technique based on ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 data using the Yamaguchi’s decomposition. The Yamaguchi's decomposition is proposed by Yoshio Yamaguchi et.al. The data has been analyzed using the deep learning process with SegNet architecture with color composite. In this research, the performance of SegNet is fast and efficient in memory usage. However, the result is not good, based on the Intersection over Union (IoU) evaluation obtained the lowest value is 0.0515 and the highest value is 0.1483. That is because of difficulty to make training datasets and of a small number of datasets. The greater difference between accuracy and loss graph along with higher epochs represents overfitting. The overfitting can be caused by the limited amount of training data and failure of the network to generalize the feature set over the training images.

Integration of Remote Sensing Technology And Geographic Information Systems for Estimation of CO2 Updake and Emissions in Denpasar City Rapid economic growth in the Denpasar City has an impact on the rate of population growth. This will lead to increasing land requirements for settlements, infrastructure, and other supporting facilities. Meanwhile, the availability of land for green open space (RTH) will decrease. Several studies show that from year to year the area of ??vegetation cover decreases, and the air temperature in Denpasar City is increasing. Therefore, research to calculate CO2 uptake by urban plants and CO2 emissions from various activities in the city of Denpasar is needed to be done. Estimates of CO2 uptake by plants are carried out using remote sensing technology and GIS. Meanwhile, the calculation of CO2 emissions is carried out by an inventory of CO2 pollutant sources from point sources, areas sources, and mobile sources. The output of this study is a distribution map of CO2 absorption and emissions. From the map it can be seen whether the CO2 emissions of Denpasar City are higher than the ability of existing plants to absorb them. The results showed that the ability of plants in Denpasar as a green open space to absorb CO2 was 235,780.63 tCO2/year, while total emissions from pollutant sources were 862,955,856 tCO2/year. The sources of CO2 emissions include from point source 37,649 tons/year, from source area 95,310 tons/year, and from mobile sources at 862,955,856 tons/year. From the movable source the biggest contributor to CO2 emissions is light vehicles, which amounted to 540,355.88 tons/year (62.63%), then followed by motorcycles at 260,187.43 tons/year (30.16%). The amount of CO2 emissions in Denpasar City is 3.66 times greater than the ability of plants to absorb CO2 in 2015 and there is a tendency for this gap to be even greater in the future. To overcome this problem, regulations are needed such as reducing the number of motorized vehicles by increasing public transportation services. The use of vehicles using energy sources other than fuel such as electricity is another alternative to consider. Finally, the increase in the number and quality of green open spaces is a conventional method that needs to be done.

Change in sea surface temperature (SST) has a huge impact to rainfall intensity.

The statistical correlation between SST and rainfall intensity were analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. The result found that the SST in Bali ranged from 25.4oC until 31.5oC. The change of SST has a similar pattern to the monsoon cycle where the western monsoon is relatively warmer than the eastern monsoon. The rainfall trend in Bali is closely related to the monsoon cycle. During the western monsoon,the average monthly rainfall value in Bali is more than 150 mm, while the rainfall value on the eastern monsoon is slightly different, which is

The sustainable development process followed by high population growth is an important factor causing land conversion in coastal areas. Analysis of change and planning of land use is one form of coastal resource management to reduce land damage so that it can be used sustainably. This study aims to determine the types and changes in land use over 21-year period (1998-2018) in the coastal area of Gianyar Regency. This study also wants to examine the level of accuracy of Landsat imagery in land use classifications. The Landsat imagery used in this study was Landsat 7 ETM+ in 1998 and Landsat 8 Oli in 2018. The classification method chosen was the supervised classification with the Maximum Likelihood method. The software used is SAGA GIS to process images and QGIS to design map layouts. The results showed that the land use classes in the study area were water, bare land, settlements and buildings, shrubs/bushes, rice fields, moor and mixed gardens. In the period 1998-2018, four classes experienced declined in area, namely water (1.71 ha), bare land (54.99 ha), mixed gardens (28.08 ha), and rice fields (226.62 ha). Meanwhile, land use classes that have increased in area are shrubs/bushes (44.28 ha), moor (104.58 ha), and settlements and buildings (162.54 ha). The overall level of accuracy in land use classification is 85%.

Rainfall is a weather element. Sea surface temperatures (SST) affects precipitation. SST and rainfall have a high variability which can be measured by satellite. At a regional scale, a research of the effect of SST on rainfall analyzed island rainfall, which means that there is still little research on rainfall in the waters. This study purposed to find out the variability and correlation between SST and rainfall in the Bali waters. It used satellite MODIS and TRMM for 10 years, started from 2010 to 2019. The data used was SST MODIS and rainfall TRMM level 3 with the geographic coordinates boundaries area 114.4281o East - 115.7145o East, and 7.8168o South 8.9868o South. The method of this study was correlation analyzed with time lag between of SST and rainfall. The variability of SST in the Bali waters were ranged from 25,2 oC to 31,6 oC. Furthermore, the variability of rainfall was ranged from 0 mm to 556,92 mm. The changes patterns of SST and precipitation in Bali water were related to the season in each month. The data showed that the SST was warmer in the rainy season compared to the SST in the dry season. Besides, the rainfall increases when entering the rainy season, and the decreases when entering the dry season. The correlation between SST and rainfall in this waters area ranged from weak to strong. Correlation formed in the rainy season is negative with a correlation coefficient between -0.34 to -0.74. However, in the dry season there was a positive correlation with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.77 to 0.92.

Carbon absorption and storage, known as carbon sequestration, have reduced global warming through photosynthesis. Seagrass beds in coastal ecosystems have high plant productivity and are found to have the ability to reduce the effect of global warming due to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Due to the anthropogenic effect, decreasing environmental quality, such as tourism, may affect seagrass diversity and growth, therefore its carbon contents. This study investigates the ability of seagrass species as carbon storage and their diversity in a common tourist destination area referred to as disturbed habitat, located at Sanur and an area that is less disturbed, referred to as undisturbed habitat. Samples were collected from 3 transects 50m in length that were placed on each site. Three plots, each measuring 0.5 x 0.5 m, were employed on each transect. The number of individuals of each species and the percent plant coverage were measured on each plot. Plant biomass and carbon content were extracted in the Lab and divided into below- and above-ground. The result shows that eight species were found at Sanur and only four from Samuh sites. On average, the percentage of plant coverage was higher at the Samuh site. Samuh site. The plant biomass and carbon storage were lower at Samuh than at the Sanur site. Species differences from each site affect the plant biomass, so the carbon content. Anthropogenic activities are not the only ones to determine the carbon storage of seagrass, but rather the species morphology.

Besides the second largest community in the coral reef ecosystem, the attractive shapes and colors of soft corals establish it an export commodity for the marine ornamental aquarium. The transplantation methods in soft coral are limited. Commonly method for soft coral transplantation is attached to the artificial substrate followed by placed at table frame. However, this method is easily covered by algae and costly. One of the alternative methods is vertically hanging that this method commonly applied in hard corals transplantation. This study aimed to examine the average differences of growth rates among different transplanted soft coral species, different location, and the presence of interaction between soft coral species and location towards the difference of growth rates. Moreover, it determined the average survival rates among different transplanted soft coral species at different location. There were three soft coral species, Lobophytum strictum, Sinularia polydactyla and S. asterolobata. They were fragmented at initial size ± 25 cm2, hanging vertically in 1.5 m length, and 0.03 m diameter followed by located inside and outside the Pegametan bay, Sumberkima village, Buleleng Regency. The increased size of each transplanted soft coral species and the number of survivals and environmental parameters were observed every two weeks for 12 weeks. The average in growth rates among species, location, and interaction was analysed using two ways Anova, whereas the survival rates were tested using Log-Rank. Results showed that the average growth rates of transplanted soft coral inside the bay were significantly higher (4.53 cm2) than outside the bay (1.64 cm2). Moreover, the average growth rates of transplanted S. polydactyla were significantly higher than others (5.22 cm2), (respectively; 2.35 cm2 and 1.7 cm2). It was also indicated that different location and species did not differentiate the transplanted soft corals' average growth rate. The survival rates of the transplanted soft corals in different location were not significantly different as well.

First, we analysed alabcore catch data based on time, positions, and layer alabcore caught and ROMS result data monthly climatology data for temperature, salinity. current velocity, and sea surface height for 2005–2008. Then, we analyzed the relationship between catch data and ROMS data by combining the statistical method of regression trogh origin (RTO) and geographic information system (GIS). Three model RTO were generated with the abundance of albacore tuna as a response variable, and temperature, salinity. current velocity, and sea surface height as predictor variables. All of the predictors of temperature, salinity. current velocity, and sea surface height were highly significant (P < 0.001) to the number of albacore tuna. Values of temperature, salinity. current velocity, and sea surface height in albacore tuna preferences ranged from 220 to 230 C, 34.79 to 34.84 Psu, 0.01 to 0.03 m/s and 0.66 to 0.70 m, respectively. Validation of the predicted number ofalbacore tuna with the observed value was significant (P < 0.05, r2 = 0.60). sea surface height was the most important environmental variable to the number of albacore tuna caught, followed by temperature, salinity and current velocity.

The rate of growth and development of Denpasar city increases the demand for land to supply the needs of urban facilities and infrastructure. This affected to the increase of conversion of vegetation coverage into built-up land cover. The conversion of the vegetation coverage impacts on urban environmental quality which is increase the rate of air temperature. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of vegetation coverage change on the air temperature change in Denpasar city in year of 2003, 2009 and 2015. Remote sensing and regression statistic method were used in this study. The results showed that the decrease of vegetation coverage influenced the increase of air temperature in Denpasar city. Statistically, the correlation can be projected on the equation y = 31,295-0,078x, where x and y are vegetaton coverege and air temperature respectively. This equation shows that decresing of 1% vegetation coverege will increase 0,078 oC of air temperature. The effort to conceder in responding to the temperature rise that occurred in Denpasar is increasing the number of green open space. Based on the classification value of vegetation coverage and air temperature of Denpasar City, there are three categories of priority areas for green open space development that is high, medium and low priority. The development of green open space in each priority area can be adjusted to the characteristics of land use.

Remote sensing technology provides an opportunity for effective and efficient bathymetry mapping, especially in areas which level of depth changes quickly. Bathymetry information is very useful for hydrographic and shipping safety. Landsat medium resolution satellite imagery can be used for the extraction of bathymetry information. This study aims to extract information from the Landsat bathymetry by using Van Hengel and Spitzer rotation algorithm transformation (1991) in the water of Menjangan Island, Bali. This study shows that Van Hengel and Spitzer rotation algorithm transformation (1991) can be used to extract information on the bathymetry of Menjangan Island. Extraction of bathymetric information generated from Landsat TM imagery data in March 19, 1997 had shown the depth interval of (-0.6) m to (-12.3) m and R2 value of 0.671. While Data LANDSAT ETM + dated June 23, 2000 resulted in depth interval of 0 m to (-19.1) m and R2 value of 0.796. Furthermore, data LANDSAT ETM + dated March 12, 2003 resulted in depth interval of 0 m to (-22.5) m and R2 value of 0.931.

Forecasting rice yield before harvest time is important to supporting planners and decision makers to predict the amount of rice that should be imported or exported and to enable governments to put in place strategic contingency plans for the redistribution of food during times of famine. This study used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) images of rice plants to estimate rice yield based on field observation. The result showed that the rice yield could be estimated using the exponential equation of y = 0.3419e 4.1587x , where y and x are rice yield and NDVI, respectively. The R 2 and SE of the estimation were 0.852 and 0.077 ton/ha, respectively. An accuracy assessment of rice yield estimation using Landsat images was performed by comparing the rice yields from the estimation result and the reference data. The results show that the linear relationship with the R

The standard image classification method typically uses multispectral imagery on one acquisition date as an input for classification. Rice fields exhibit high variability in land cover states, which influences their reflectance. Using the existing standard method for rice field classification may increase errors of commission and omission, thereby reducing classification accuracy. This study utilised temporal variance in a vegetation index as a modified input image for rice field classification. The results showed that classification of rice fields using modified input images provided a better result. Using the modified classification input improved the correspondence between rice field area obtained from the classification result and reference data (R2 increased from 0.2557 to 0.9656 for regencylevel comparisons and from 0.5045 to 0.8698 for district-level comparisons). The classification accuracy and the estimated Kappa value also increased when using the modified classification input compared to the standard method, from 66.33 to 83.73 and from 0.49 to 0.77, respectively. The commission error, omission error, and Kappa variance decreased from 68.11 to 42.36, 28.48 to 27.97, and 0.00159 to 0.00039, respectively, when using modified input images compared to the standard method. The Kappa analysis concluded that there are significant differences between the procedure developed in this study and the standard method for rice field classification. Consequently, the modified classification method developed here is significant improvement over the standard procedure.

Information on the distribution of paddy rice fields is essential for food security and water resource management. Remote sensing is a technique that can be used to obtain rice production information from space. In the present study, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images were used to evaluate the relationship between the rice spectral (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)) of Landsat images and rice yield. The results indicated that the relationship between the NDVI and rice age was best described by a quadratic equation, and R 2 values ranging from 0.916 to 0.973 were obtained. Three growth variables were evaluated in the present study, and the total NDVI (∑NDVI) showed the strongest exponential relationship to rice yield (R 2 = 0.9203)

The visible band of Landsat ETM+ (Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3) showed a weak exponential relationship to rice age; however, the reflective infrared band of Landsat ETM+ (Band 4 and B5) and the entire vegetation index showed a strong exponential relationship to rice age. Rice Growth Vegetation Index (RGVI) developed in this study is the best vegetation index compared to existing vegetation indices. The relationship between rice age and RGVI has shown the highest determination coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.9045. The RGVI then used to develop a model to rice plant mapping. Quantitative comparison of the rice plant area between analysis results and reference data showed a linear relationship, with the equation y = 0.920x - 3.841 and R² = 0.971, where y is the rice plant area of reference data, and x is the rice plant area of the analysis results of the Landsat ETM+. The standard error of this estimation was 43.04 ha.

In order to improve the method for prediction of tuna fishing ground, the modification of the analysis about satellite altimeter data was made as trial. In this study, we focused on the satellite altimeter, TOPEX/POSEIDON series, to improve the method of fishing ground prediction. Fishery data were supplied as hook rate by local fishing information around Indonesia and hearing infromation. The gradient of sea surface height is calculated between the neighbor grid which has the maximum gradient. Result showed that the fishery data with hook rate over 0.8 are grouped in a zone from 1.0E-06 of sea prediction of fishing ground quantitatively, but also reasonable accuracy as shown in the change in the standard deviation. This method can be utilized for the effective fishing plan with the resource protection and the economy in the fishing operation in near future. Keywords: sea surface altimeter, sea surface gradient, remote sensing, fishing ground search, hook rate, fishery resource management.

Change in the sea surface height anomaly derived from satellite altimeter was examined and applied to evaluate the possibility of tsunami prediction before the occurance. Sea surface height anomaly was composed period during earthquake and tsunami occurance. Daily variability in the sea surface height anomaly was traced about the location of hypocenter, aftershock, and the end of erthquakes from satellite altimetry. Results shows that there are the locations where the sea surface height anomaly suddenly increased or decreased before tsunami event at least. This result can be utilized and applied for the development in not only the stunami monitoting system as the disaster monitoring, but also for the effective tsunami prediction system in the near future. Keywords: tsunami, earthquake, bottom topography, sea surface height, satellite altimetry, altimeter, disaster prevention.

Princeton Ocean Model (POM) was used to calculate the tidal current and M2-residual current in Benoa Bay using barotropic model (mode 2). The model was forced by tidal elevation, which was given along the open boundary condition using tide data prediction from Hydro-Oceanography Division-Indonesian Navy (DISHIDROS TNI-AL). The computed tidal current and residual current have been compared with both data in Benoa Bay, that are data of the open boundary of Benoa Bay and condition of Benoa Bay after developed a port and reclamation of Serangan Island. The maximum velocity of tidal current for open boundary conditions at flood tide is 0.71 m/sec, whereas at ebb tide is 0.65 m/sec and the maximum velocity after developed a port and reclamation of Serangan Island, at flood tide, is 0.69 m/sec. The simulation of residual current with particular emphasis on predominant constituent of M2 after developed a port and reclamation of Serangan Island shows a strong flow at the western part of Tanjung Benoa and Benoa Harbor and also at bay mouth between Serangan Island and Tanjung Benoa. Maximum velocity of M2-residual current is 0.0585 m/sec by the simulation and showed that the current which was produced forming two eddies in the bay of which one eddy is in the mouth of bay in southern part. The residual current for open boundary condition of bay shows four eddies circulation, one big eddies and the others small. The anticlockwise circulation occurs in the inner part of the bay. Key words: model, simulation, tidal current, residual current

An algorithm of estimating Vertical distribution of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) was evaluated based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) method in Hokkaido field in the northwest of Pacific Ocean. The algorithm applied to the data of SeaWiFS on OrbView-2 and AVHRR on NOAA off Hokkaido, has been applied on September 24, 1998 and September 28, 2001. Ocean color sensor provides the information of the photosynthetic pigment concentration for the upper 22% of the euphotic zone. In order to model a primary production in the water column derived from satellite, it is important to obtain the vertical profile of Chl-a distribution, because the maximum value of Chl-a concentration used to lie in the subsurface region. A shifted Gaussian model has been proposed to describe the variation of the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) profile which consists of four parameters, i.e. background biomass (B0), maximum depth of Chl-a (zm), total biomass in the peak (h), and a measurement of the thickness or vertical scale of the peak (cr). However, these parameters are not easy to be determined directly from satellite data. Therefore, in the present study, an ANN methodology is used. Using in-situ data from 1974 to 1994 around Japan Islands, the above four parameters are calculated to derive the Chl-a concentration, sea surface temperature, mixed layer depth, latitude, longitude, and Julian days. The total of 6983 profiles of Chl-a and temperature are used for ANN. The correlation coefficients of these parameters are 0.79 (B0), 0.73 (h), 0.76 (cr) and 0.79 (zm) respectively. A site called A-linc off Hokkaido is used to evaluate Chl-a concentration in each depth. After comparing with in-situ data and ANN model, the results show good agreement relatively. Therefore, the ANN method is applicable and available tool to estimate primary production and fish resources from the space. Keywords : Ocean color, Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), Vertical structure, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).

The preliminary study using Landsat ETM+ to estimate the rice production in Regency of Tabanan, Bali Province was conducted. The objectives of this study were to know spectral characteristic of rice plant in three importance growth periods of rice, and to develop a model to identify the distribution of rice. Landsat ETM+ in two acquisition dates (March 21st, 2003 and May 24*, 2003) were used in this study. Characteristics of rice were analyzed using radiance value of Landsat ETM+ obtained from converting digital number of Landsat data. Multi-variable linear regression analysis was developed to classify the rice in its growth period. The result showed that the rice plant has different reflectance in seedling-development period, ear differentiation period and maturation period. It is expressed by the radiance value of Landsat ETM+. However, spectral characteristic of rice in each band of Landsat ETM+ is similar to the green vegetations in general, except in blue band (Bl). Based on statistical analysis, the classification of rice in each its growth period can be classified. Key words: Rice field, Landsat ETM+, Spectral Characteristic, Multi-temporal.
