Abstract

As human activity occurs at the surface, which is influenced by surface currents, understanding surface currents is crucial. Ocean currents are not solely caused by wind, but also of other factors, such as sea surface temperature. To obtain surface current data, BMKG used HF radar installed in several places, including Flores Sea. This location is significant because it has large ports and heavy crossing traffic. This study aims to analyse surface current data retrieve from Himawari-8 SST data by applied PIV algorithm. Using the PIV algorithm, a cross-correlation plane is generated by comparing two identically sized interrogation windows obtained from successive images. On 5 December 2022 in the Flores Sea, Himawari-8 SST data was employed to estimate sea surface currents every 10 minutes. Surface current motion varies widely from image to image. Western areas are dominated by westward currents, while central and eastern areas are dominated by eastward currents during daylight hours, and westward currents during the night. Synoptic wind affects surface current movement during those hours. Validation with observational data from the Labuan Bajo HF radar shows that the V component current estimation is better than the U component current estimation. This is particularly prevalent in the south and in areas close to the KAWA radar HF location. Keywords: Flores Sea; SST; Himawari-8; PIV; surface current

Abstract

Four High-Frequency radar systems (HF) have been installed in Indonesia to monitor surface currents. In-situ ocean current observations are relatively expensive and limited by spatial and temporal resolution. Satellite remote sensing enables the estimate of surface current data generally from surface tracer data, including sea surface temperature (SST). Various methodologies have been developed to obtain surface currents. With Himawari-8 SST data, this study examines the accuracy of the resulting estimation. The cross-correlation fields of two identical-sized interrogation windows obtained from sequential images are employed in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The HF radar in Labuan Bajo was used to validate surface current velocity estimates. RMSE, bias, and the Willmott index determined the accuracy. According to the estimates of surface currents made on July 29, 2022, the results follow a monsoon characteristic wind pattern in the Flores Sea. HF radar observations better validate the V component current estimation than the U component current estimation. A study of sea surface currents from SST data is lacking in Indonesian seas, and more repetition is required. As a result, This method has the potential can be employed to observe aquatic environments in other Indonesian areas.
