ANALISIS POLA SEBARAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN AREA UPWELLING DI BAGIAN SELATAN SELAT MAKASSAR
ABSTRACT: Waters of the
southearn of Makassar Strait is a region which relatively rich of organic
matter because the phenomenon of upwelling along the eastern season. The
purpose of this research was to analyze the distribution patterns and the
development of upwelling areas in the southern of Makassar Strait. This study
used chlorophylla data and sea surface temperature from level 1 of Modis image
for two years (2009 and 2010). The result showed that phenomenon of upwelling
that occurs in the southern Makassar Strait appears since early June, the strongest
upwelling in August and disapear in October. The upwelling was indicated by
declining of sea surface temperature and increasing of chlorophyll-a
concentration. Analysis of wind direction and speed indicate that the upwelling
occurs in the southern Makassar strait spread to southwest with and estimated
upwelling area around 46.000 km2.
