Remote sensing technology can be used to obtain information bathymetry. Bathymetric information plays an important role for fisheries, hydrographic and navigation safety. Bathymetric information derived from remote sensing data is highly dependent on the quality of satellite data use and processing. One of the processing to be done is the atmospheric correction process. The data used in this study is Landsat 8 image obtained on June 19, 2013. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different atmospheric correction on bathymetric information extraction from Landsat satellite image data 8. The atmospheric correction methods applied were the minimum radiant, Dark Pixels and ATCOR. Bathymetry extraction result of Landsat 8 uses a third method of atmospheric correction is difficult to distinguish which one is best. The calculation of the difference extraction results was determined from regression models and correlation coefficient value calculation error is generated.

The waters of Lancang Island, located north of Jakarta, Indonesia, are one of the active areas for fishing and maritime transport and have several estuaries. Su

The paper describes inherent optical properties (IOP) of the Berau coastal waters derived from in situ measurements and Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) satellite data. Field measurements of optical water, total suspended matter (TSM), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations were carried out during the dry season of 2007. During this periode, only four MERISdata were coincided with in situ measurements on 31 August 2007. The MERIS top-of-atmosphere radiances were atmospherically corrected using the MODTRAN radiative transfer model. The in situ optical measurement have been processed into apparent optical properties (AOP) and sub surface irradiance. The remote sensing reflectance of in situ measurement as well as MERIS data were inverted into the IOP using quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA). The result indicated that coefficient of determination (R 2) of backscattering coefficients of suspended particles (bbp) increased with increasing wavelength, however the R2 of absorption spectra of phytoplankton (aph) decreased with increasing wavelength.
