Sebaran Suhu Permukaan Laut Teluk Bone Pada Tahun 2021 Menggunakan Citra Satelit Terra Modis

Sea surface temperature is one of the most important oceanographic parameters for the life of organisms in the oceans. Just like land, marine life also needs heat to be able to maintain its survival. Because of the importance of sea surface temperature, this study aims to determine the distribution of sea surface temperature using Terra Modis satellite imagery in the waters of Bone Bay spatially and temporally. The data processed is sea surface temperature data for 2021 obtained from the Terra MODIS level-3 satellite sensor downloaded from NASA (OCEAN COLOR or link http://modis.gfsc.nasa.gov/data), then image data processing is carried out using a SeaDas and ArGIS software with data collection stage with case studies in Bone Bay Waters. Based on the research results, the distribution of the highest sea surface temperature is in November ranging from 29.36º-34.52ºC with an average value of 30.83ºC and the lowest temperature is at August ranges from 26.64º-32.32ºC with an average SST of 28.70ºC. These results show that the Terra MODIS satellite sensor has provided good results on sea surface temperature data for 2021. Every month sea surface temperatures experience increases and decreases, until the peaks occur in November and August respectively.
