Identification of total suspended sediment (TSS) distribution at Surabaya east coast area in east java indonesia using TSS algorithm implementation on multi temporal satellite images

Based on the previous research, it was obtained that a total area of Surabaya increased caused by changes in the coastline Surabaya east coast, where the acceleration of the addition from 2000 to 2009 amounted to 37.1 acres per year. The one of reasons is caused by the change of sedimentation from the East Coast of Surabaya (Hariyanto et al., 2011). In order to determine a source of shoreline change on the East Coast of Surabaya, it is necessary to conduct a TSS research using various types of multitemporal images by applying a variety of TSS algorithm. Types of satellite data used are the ASTER in 2005, SPOT-4 in 2009 and Landsat 8 in 2013, and then apply the existing TSS algorithm according to the used images. The results indicate that distribution of TSS in the East Coast of Surabaya is on range 50 mg/l to 200 mg/l. Region with TSS more than 200 mg/l gain rise located on near of the East Coast of Surabaya. This condition gives negative impact for environmental quality (sedimentation and degradation) on the East Coast of Surabaya.
