LONG-SHORT TERM MEMORY (LSTM) FOR PREDICTING VELOCITY AND DIRECTION SEA SURFACE CURRENT ON BALI STRAIT

The strategic role of the Bali Strait as a connection between the islands of Java and Bali is growing in line with the increase in the economy and tourism of the two islands. Therefore, it is necessary to have a further understanding of the condition of the waters in the Bali strait, one of which is ocean currents. This study aims to predict future ocean currents based on 30-minute data in the Bali Strait in the range of 16 May 2021 to 9 June 2021 obtained from the Perak II Surabaya Maritime Meteorological Station. In this study, the Long Short Term Memory method was used. The parameters used are hidden layer, batch size, and learn rate drop. Based on the parameters used, the results showed that the smallest MAPE value was 18.64% for U ocean current velocity data and 5.29% for V ocean current velocity data
