The existence of the fishing in the waters will always be dynamic, constantly changing or changed following the movement of environmental conditions, which naturally fish will choose a more appropriate habitat. Predicted zone of Tuna fish catch can be done by detecting the distribution of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature distribution from Aqua MODIS image.  This study aims to predict the local zone tuna fishing in the sea around the city of Bitung based on the distribution of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature by using satellite image Aqua MODIS data level-3. A series of research activities are conducted in stages are: image collection, image cutting in accordance with the desired area, image extraction, data interpolation, map overlay, and the last is the map layout.  The result of sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean waters of Bitung and surrounding areas shows the chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature varies each season. The highest chlorophyll-a distribution is in the second transitional season in September and the lowest in the west season in December. The highest sea surface temperature distribution is in the eastern seasons in June and the lowest in the eastern seasons in August. The results showed at some of the most potential fishing points of Tuna in the transitional season II wherein each month in the season potentially forming the Tuna fishing areaKeywords: Tuna, chlorophyll-a, SST, Aqua, Modis ABSTRAK Keberadaan daerah penangkapan ikan di perairan akan selalu bersifat dinamis, selalu berubah atau berpindah mengikuti pergerakan kondisi lingkungan, yang secara alamiah ikan akan memilih habitat yang lebih sesuai.  Zona tangkapan ikan Tuna yang diprediksi dapat dilakukan dengan mendeteksi distribusi klorofil-a dan distribusi suhu permukaan laut dari citra Aqua MODIS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi zona lokal penangkapan ikan tuna di laut sekitar kota Bitung, berdasarkan distribusi klorofil-a dan suhu permukaan laut dengan menggunakan citra satelit Aqua MODIS data level-3. Serangkaian kegiatan penelitian yang dilakukan secara bertahap adalah: koleksi gambar, pemotongan gambar sesuai dengan area yang diinginkan, ekstraksi gambar, interpolasi data, overlay peta, dan terakhir adalah tata letak peta. Hasil dari Suhu Permukaan Laut (SST) dan konsentrasi klorofil-a di perairan laut Bitung dan sekitarnya menunjukkan klorofil-a dan suhu permukaan laut bervariasi setiap musim. Distribusi klorofil-a tertinggi adalah pada musim peralihan kedua pada bulan September dan terendah di musim barat pada bulan Desember. Distribusi suhu permukaan laut tertinggi adalah di musim timur pada bulan Juni dan terendah di musim timur pada bulan Agustus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada beberapa titik penangkapan ikan Tuna yang paling potensial pada musim peralihan II dimana setiap bulan di musim tersebut berpotensi membentuk daerah penangkapan Tuna.Kata Kunci: Tuna, Chlorofil-a, SPL, Aqua, Modis

Abstract. Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) 2A25 reflectivity profiles data during the period 1998–2013 are used to study the differences in the vertical structure of precipitation and its variation with sea surface temperature (SST) over the Arabian Sea (AS) and the Bay of Bengal (BOB). Even though the AS and the BOB are parts of the Indian Ocean, they exhibit distinct features in vertical structure of precipitation and its variation with SST. The variation of reflectivity and precipitation echo top occurrence with SST is remarkable over the AS but trivial over the BOB. The median reflectivity increases with SST at all heights below 10 km altitude, but the increase is prominent below the freezing level height over the AS. On the other hand, irrespective of altitude, reflectivity profiles are same at all SSTs over the BOB. To understand these differences, variation of aerosols, cloud and water vapor with SST is studied over these seas. At SSTs less than 27 °C, the observed high aerosol optical depth (AOD) and low total column water vapor (TCWV) over the AS results in small Cloud effective radius (CER) values and low reflectivity. As SST increases AOD decreases and TCWV increases, which result in large CER and high reflectivity. Over the BOB the change in AOD, TCWV and CER with SST is marginal. Thus, the observed variations in reflectivity profiles seem to be present from the cloud formation stage itself over both the seas.
