Abstract:
Primary productivity is a process which involved during the photosynthesis
occurs and is highly related to the chlorophyll-a concentration. The objective of this
study is to determine the primary productivity from the ground data survey using the
carbon 14 techniques and satellite imagery (MODIS). Thus, the relation between
ground data and satellite data of primary production can be determined. Carbon 14
techniques were used in determining the primary production of sampling site using in
situ and incubator incubation which act as ground data. A sampling chlorophyll-a also
have been done. Then, chlorophyll-a concentration data from the satellite is obtained
from the Ocean Color Web using the MODIS method.
