Abstract

Abstract – Mud volcanoes are generated by fluid and solid material extrusion from their mud reservoir and are predominantly found at convergent plate margins. Kambing Island is a small island in Eastern Timor, Indonesia, where the Australian continental plate collides with the Banda Sea plate. The previous geological study identified active mud volcano on this island, but it is still unclear whether and to what extent they are active. In this work, we attempt to detect surface deformation due to the mud volcanoes activism in Kambing island using the Advanced Land Observing Satellite/ Phased Array Type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (ALOS/PALSAR) Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). The ALOS/PALSAR datasets consist of 12 ascending and 5 descending Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from 2006 to 2011. Although the results indicate surface deformation signals are hardly detected in the interferogram pairs due to lost coherence and atmospheric noise, we could highlight the episodic occurrence of surface deformation signals between April and November 2008 reaches 6.4 cm moving away from the satellite line of sight. In the future, to back up our findings, further field surveys or long-term InSAR are needed. Keywords: mud volcano, InSAR, deformation.

Abstract

Located in a tropical area with abundant precipitation, Indonesia is highly prone to heavy rain hazards, in particular landslides and floods. Thus, rainfall observation is vital. Nonetheless, the topography, the fund availability, as well as the archipelagic state of Indonesia may raise difficulties for in-situ observation, such as rain gauge and weather radar. Currently, the advance of radiometer satellites, such as the Global Precipitation Mission delivers rain estimation and has proven to show good association with in-situ observation on a monthly basis, not daily over the Indonesia area. Therefore, it is vital to have additional measurement methods. For the first time, we apply L-band Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to observe heavy rain in Indonesia. From our three study cases, we successfully identified localized anomalies due to the dense water vapor during heavy rain in the InSAR images. The localized anomalies vary from 10.9 cm in West Java, 7.8 cm in East Kalimantan, and 7.7 cm in West Kalimantan. Furthermore, we utilize the split-spectrum method for our InSAR result; the high-water vapor occurrence in the troposphere associated with heavy rain should be identified in the non-dispersive term. Nevertheless, due to long temporal separation and thinner bandwidth, the split-spectrum method results display unsatisfactory results. We conclude that, while InSAR has the ability to identify heavy rain, having SSM to distinguish between non-dispersive and dispersive phases is not currently practical in Indonesia.
