ABSTRACT

Rossy Timur Wahyuningsih, The Implementation of a Multi-sensor System for the Rainfall Measurement (supervised by Rhiza S. Sadjad and Zahir Zainuddin).

	The main goal of this research project is to show the performance of a multi-sensor system as compared to the conventional single sensor system in the rainfall measurement. The case of the city of Makassar in South Sulawesi, INDONESIA is considered.

	The multi-sensor system consists of <berapa banyak> sensors placed in different locations separated about 5 kilometers to each other. The measurement is conducted for <berapa hari, 5?> rainy days in the month of February 2010. From the analysis by referring to the official data released by the National Agency of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) in Makassar (BMKG Region IV Makassar), it is derived that the measurement using the multi-sensor system must be multiplied by a correction factor of <berapa> to improve its accuracy.
