Identification of Cumulonimbus Cloud using Sensor Data of NOAA Satellite Captured by Low Cost Flower Cross Dipole

The implementation of a flower cross dipole could be a promising candidate to receive any information from NOAA satellite in certain frequency. Flower cross dipole was designed to work in 137 MHz frequency. This work urgently discusses about identification of cumulonimbus cloud based on NOAA satellite sensor data which was received by flower cross dipole. The detection system has been developed by real-time monitoring based on NOAA satellite sensor data, then convert to cloud image. The further study would be focus on cumulonimbus cloud which causes bad weather in a region. The identification result was validated by Meteorological, Climatological, and Physical Agency of Indonesia and analyzed by kernel-erison method. The overall results indicate the flower cross dipole has 1.58 VSWR value with -12.85 dB return loss. In other hand, the flower cross dipole produced omnidirectional radiation pattern with 11.8 MHz bandwidth and 2.307 dB gain. The low-cost flower cross dipole only has 52.59 cm length with unique and simple design to be
