Abstract

Rainfall is one of main causes of floods. Monitoring of the rainfall is essential for understanding flood mechanism and early warning. Ground-based rain gauge is a conventional device to measure rainfall amount and considered as a point measurement. Satellite-based rainfall estimates provides complement measurement over wide area having few or even no in situ data. This study evaluates rainfall intensity variation and patterns preceding flood events in Indonesia for the period of 2003-2010 using the GSMaP_MVK satellite-based rainfall product with one hour and 0.1o x 0.1o resolutions and rain gauge station data as a benchmark. The analysed data are 3-hourly average and daily accumulation time steps. The chosen research locations were Medan City, Pekanbaru City, Indragiri Hulu Regency, Samarinda City and Manado City. Graphical comparisons of the GSMaP_MVK with the rain gauge data show discrepancies in capturing rainfall events and intensity. The GSMaP_MVK performs underestimation for the most areas, except Samarinda City, which is overestimated. Short-term period rainfall pattern is the most frequent occurred preceding flood events for the entire study areas which indicate that the areas are more susceptible to flash floods and river overflows. Overall, the GSMaP_MVK product provides promising potentiality for the application of monitoring rainfall conditions preceding flood events over the research locations. Statistical verifications reveal that on average, correlation coefficients are (0.22-0.54) and (0.65-0.83) for 3-hourly and daily scale, respectively. While, probability of rain detections (PODs) are (0.57-0.75) and (0.93-0.99), accordingly.

Abstract

Land subsidence rate in Semarang has been observed by D-InSAR technique based on ALOS-PALSAR data on ascending orbits, which is processed by GMTSAR and ArcGIS software. Two kind of methods namely single D-InSAR and Multi-Temporal D-InSAR has been done. By employing SRTM3 and ASTER1 DEM data to remove the topography component, total 67 pairs of inteferogram has generated. Northeast area and shoreline area has largest subsidence about 20-32 cm for 4 years or average rate 5-8 cm/year. Since the northwest area and center area has lower subsidence rate and even no remarkable subsidence occurred, this area seems to be stable comparing the northeast area. Removing the topography component phase to get displacement phase from the phase interferogram by using SRTM3 DEM and ASTER1 DEM data respectively, the both results coincided with 0.995 correlation value. The coherence threshold is an important factor to get better accuracy, but if setting the threshold too high, the process of interference will be failed and not be able to obtain the results in a lot of area. The perpendicular baseline and the temporal baseline (time period) is an important factor to determining the coherence threshold. By using many scenes the Multi-Temporal D-InSAR was applied, and by selecting good pairs of the interferograms, accuracy of the results will be improved. The correlation value for GPS data eventually increased from 0.63 to 0.77.
