Pengukuran Koefisien Diffuse Atenuasi (Kd) di Perairan Dangkal Sekitar Karang Lebar, Kepulauan Seribu, DKI Jakarta
Diffuse attenuation coeffcient from downwelling irradiance measurement is one of the important oceanography
parameter that provide information on light availability and the light penetration through waters column that represent
the waters clarity, photosynthesis and other biological processes. Information about diffuse attenuation coeffcient play
an important role on the development of bio-optical algorithm on Ocean Color satellite data. The aim of this research
is to know the variability of diffuse attenuation coeffcient in the shallow water of Karang Lebar, Air and Panggang
island using irradiance sensor from hyperspectral radiometer TriOS-RAMSES covering a wavelength range from 320
to 950 nm with 3.3 nm spectral resolution. In situ measurments performed by pull down the irradiance sensor on
each depth vertically in waters column up to just before the sea floor. Overall, the measurement result showed that
values of Kd(λ) had patterns tends to be decreased on blue-green region wavelength (380-480 nm) and increased again
on green-red region (560-760 nm). We found that values of Kd(λ) inside of gobah area had greater values than the
outside gobah, signifcantly the difference signifcantly occured on all regions that Kd(λ) values measured (F = 5.581
> F critical = 5.554), where each regions has different characteristics to each others. Kd(λ) values dominantly affected
by absorbtion of chlorophyll-a with determination coffcient R2 = 0.808 compared with backscattering by suspended
solid with determination coeffcient R2 = 0.043. Kd(λ) values on visible wavelength regions (400-700 nm) can describe
information about how far light can be detected by Ocean Color satellite from water column represented by one
optical depth. Relationship of Kd(λ) values with one optical depth can be describe as exponential equation Kd(400-
700nm) = 0.6747*exp(-0.231*1ζ) with the determination coeffcient R2 = 0.97
