The rapid technological advances especially in the field of satellite strongly support the development of Atmospheric Science, one of which is the use of satellites such as Himawari. The Himawari satellite is operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency - Meteorological Satellite Center (JMA-MSC) using Advanced Himawari Imagers / AHI imaging sensor [1]. Observation data from the sensor is then processed using Miller et al [2] algorithm so the satellite imagery can be perceived easily by human eyes. Satellite imagery from the Himawari-8 can be applied to various fields, one of its application is to monitor extreme weather events. In the South Bandung region, Junnaedhi et al. [3] have developed a community-based flood early warning system. This warning system uses surface observation equipment that requires large maintenance both in terms of cost, energy and time. In this study, we created an automatic system that can produce true color products from the Himawari-8 satellite imagery. This output product is displayed as satellite images on a website that is accessible to the public. From this research we hoped that the community, especially members of the disaster response volunteer units such as the Garda Caah community, can utilize this information for the development of a flood early warning system.
Penerapan Teknologi Tepat Guna, Penerapan Karya Tulis
True color satellite products can be used to identify the extent of cloud cover in the observed area. The high temporal resolution of the Himawari satellite (per 10 minutes) can also help provide more accurate weather information. The appearance of satellite products in the form of images, will make people easier understanding the weather information provided on the website.
