Abstract:
The study of sea surface temperature was conducted at Kuala Terengganu Coastal
Water that were around Pulau Kapas until Pulau Redang. The data were taken by in
situ and Satellite Image by using MODIS data. The in-situ data were taken for two
times; first was from 12
nd
th
May 2010 and second sampling was done on 31
until 15
st
nd
until 2
October 2010. For MODIS Images were downloaded at ocean color website
and the data were download according by sampling day which means by daily image.
The MODIS data then extracted by using ENVI 4.5 and ArcGIS to process the image.
After then, these two data from sampling site and MODIS data were combine to see
the correlation between MODIS Satellite and in-situ data. From the result the R
2
shows the 0.001 value means that there's no correlation or correlation is low to
compare between MODIS Image Satellite with in-situ data. There's some factors that
influence with SST data by using satellite such as cloud formation, water vapour,
reflected sky and also the other presences of gases.
