The new Landsat generation, Landsat-8, is equipped with two bands of thermal infrared sensors (TIRS). The presence of two bands provides for improved determination of sea surface temperature (SST) compared to existing products. Due to its high spatial resolution, it is suitable for coastal zone monitoring. However, there are still significant challenges in converting radiance measurements to SST, resulting from the limitations of in-situ measurements. Several studies into developing SST algorithms in Indonesia waters have provided good performance. Unfortunately, however, they have used a single-band windows approach, and a split-windows approach has yet to be reported. In this study, we investigate both single-band and split-window algorithms for retrieving SST maps in the coastal zone of Wangi-Wangi Island, Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Landsat-8 imagery was acquired on February 26, 2016 (01: 51: 44.14UTC) at position path 111 and and row 64. On the same day, in-situ SST was measured by using Portable Multiparameter Water Quality Checker – 24. We used the coefficient of correlation (r) and root mean square error (RMSE) to determine the best algorithm performance by incorporating in-situ data and the estimated SST map. The results showed that there were differences in brightness temperature retrieved from TIRS band10 and band 11. The single-band algorithm based on band 10 for Poteran Island clearly showed superior performance (r = 69.28% and RMSE = 0.7690°C). This study shows that the split-window algorithm has not yet produced a accurate result for the study area.
