Studi Waveform Retracking Jason-2 di Pesisir Barat Daya Sumatera

Monitoring sea level changes in coastal areas is critical to understand ocean dynamics and their impact on the environment and human activities. Satellite altimetry has been the main tool in these studies, but its use in coastal areas still faces obstacles, especially due to variations in waveforms reflected from the sea surface. This study evaluates the accuracy of several altimetry waveform retracking methods (OCOG, Threshold 10%, and Threshold 30% ) on the southwest coast of Sumatra. The analysis was conducted using Jason-2 data on two passes, namely pass 077 and pass 153, with validation against two tide gauge stations nearby. Results showed that the Threshold 30% method provided a more accurate estimation of the Leading Edge Point (LEP) position than the other methods, with an average difference of only 0.1 gates (0.32%) from the reference value. Meanwhile, the OCOG method has the worst performance with a difference of 6.27 gates (20.22%), indicating its inability to handle coastal waveform variations on the location. Validation of the tide gauge data shows that retracking with a 10% Threshold improves the precision of Sea Surface Height (SSH) data with the highest IMP improvement value of 65.2% and the smallest standard deviation on the Threshold 30%. This finding confirms that choosing the right retracking method plays a crucial role in improving the accuracy of satellite altimetry in coastal areas. Therefore, the Threshold method is recommended for further analysis to improve the quality of altimetry data in coastal Indonesia.

Abstract

Monitoring sea level changes in coastal areas is critical to understand ocean dynamics and their impact on the environment and human activities. Satellite altimetry has been the main tool in these studies, but its use in coastal areas still faces obstacles, especially due to variations in waveforms reflected from the sea surface. This study evaluates the accuracy of several altimetry waveform retracking methods (OCOG, Threshold 10%, and Threshold 30% ) on the southwest coast of Sumatra. The analysis was conducted using Jason-2 data on two passes, namely pass 077 and pass 153, with validation against two tide gauge stations nearby. Results showed that the Threshold 30% method provided a more accurate estimation of the Leading Edge Point (LEP) position than the other methods, with an average difference of only 0.1 gates (0.32%) from the reference value. Meanwhile, the OCOG method has the worst performance with a difference of 6.27 gates (20.22%), indicating its inability to handle coastal waveform variations on the location. Validation of the tide gauge data shows that retracking with a 10% Threshold improves the precision of Sea Surface Height (SSH) data with the highest IMP improvement value of 65.2% and the smallest standard deviation on the Threshold 30%. This finding confirms that choosing the right retracking method plays a crucial role in improving the accuracy of satellite altimetry in coastal areas. Therefore, the Threshold method is recommended for further analysis to improve the quality of altimetry data in coastal Indonesia.
