| Summary: | This study examines the sediment plume behaviour entering the sea using the physical
model and remote sensing techniques. This paper will only discuss the application of
remote sensing in suspended sediment study at Sg. Langat estuary. CIMEL radiance
meter was used as a sensor to record optical data (digital count value or DN) from the
simulation of the sediment plume dispersion in the model. This study observes the
relationship between the DN obtained with the suspended sediment concentration.
Results from correlation analysis show that the relation between DN and sediment
plume concentration in the lab is most significant and strong at 0.85 μm wavelength,
and the weakest relation is in the 0.45 μm wavelength. Small water particles from the
wave generation were identified as one of the most important atmospheric disturbance
to optical data, especially for shorter wavelength i.e. 0.45 μm. Beside that, water
roughness and additional illumination from the 1000 watt spotlight also affect the DN
values obtained. Water roughness has caused the increase in the DN value, while
illumination from spotlight has caused a shift in the peak of spectral signature to
longer wavelength, i.e. 0.85μm |
