Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
