Abstract

Peak discharge is a key indicator for assessing flood potential in a river basin. This study estimates peak discharge in the Way Urang sub-watershed, Pesawaran, Lampung, by integrating remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to derive physical parameters that control surface runoff. The Rational Method was applied, combining the runoff coefficient (C), rainfall intensity (I), and drainage area (A). The runoff coefficient was calculated using the Cook Method, which takes into account soil type, slope gradient, vegetation density, and drainage density. Rainfall intensity was derived from daily records using the Mononobe equation, with time of concentration estimated from the Kirpich formula. Data sources include Sentinel-2 imagery, DEMNAS, rainfall records from 2014 to 2023, and field measurements. The results show a peak discharge of 217.19 m³/s for a basin area of 20.20 km², with a coefficient of variation (C) of 69.20% and an intensity (I) of 55.89 mm/h. High runoff reflects the combined effects of low-infiltration soils, steep slopes, and high annual rainfall. Morphometric measurements yielded a total channel cross-sectional area of 27.91 m² and an estimated bankfull discharge of ~9.53 m³/s, indicating that the channel capacity is far below the peak discharge. This imbalance suggests a high flood potential in downstream areas, particularly in Bunut Village. The findings underscore the importance of integrating spatial data, field surveys, and remote sensing to analyze watershed physical characteristics and to support more effective, spatially informed flood planning and mitigation.

Abstract

Sea Breeze Front (SBF) is one of the important components of sea breeze circulation, which plays role in coastal area’s atmospheric dynamics. SBF causes significant changes in temperature and humidity profiles and initiates updrafts that induce convective activity. This study aims to determine the characteristics of SBF and its impact on convection activity using Doppler weather radar on the west coast area of South Sulawesi during dry season. SBF identification utilized PPI and CMAX products to detect convective clouds and SRI to estimate rainfall intensity, then verified it using Automatic Weather Station (AWS) and Automatic Rain Gauge (ARG). SBF was generally detected at 10.30–14.30 LT with an average moving speed of 2.04 m/s. The length of SBF ranges from 15.47–21.08 km and moves inland as far as 12.57–26.09 km with 0.51–0.89 km of column depth. There was a difference in the average value of solar radiation intensity up to 106 W/m2 and 0.5°C of temperature during SBF Days. SBF caused 17 events of convective activity with a maximum reflectivity value of 42–60 dBz and 4–8 km of cloud diameter. Five out of 17 convective activities indicated the occurrence of light rain on the surface.
