Spatial Analysis of Total Suspended Matter Distribution from Landsat 8 Oli in Lombok Coastal, Indonesia

The presence of suspended matter in water is responsible changing the spectral composition of the water. Total Suspended Matter (TSM) are fine materials and originate from lands, plants, animals or microorganisms found on the continental shelf which made water columns becoming turbid and reduced the depth of light penetration. TSM concentration can be estimated from satellite image such as Landsat 8 OLI and the distribution could be analysis spatially. Thus the objective of this study is to analysis the distribution of TSM from Landsat 8 OLI. The research was carried out in Lombok coastal, Indonesia and the analyses was conduct by using empirical approach. The result showed that the estimation of TSM concentrations spread out near coastal Lombok and the concentration was around 0.39 – 20.7 mg/l. It was also shown that TSM becoming high when it is near coastal and low when it is far from the coast. This result has 91.8 % correlation with field measurement and RMSE value is 0.52.
