Evolution of Ocean Color Atmospheric Correction: 1970–2005

Bayesian Methodology for Atmospheric Correction of PACE Ocean-Color Imagery

Atmospheric Correction Algorithm for the Ocean Color Sensors

The primary focus of this proposed research is for the atmospheric correction algorithm evaluation and development and satellite sensor calibration and characterization. It is well known that the atmospheric correction, which removes more than 90% of sensor-measured signals contributed from atmosphere in the visible, is the key procedure in the ocean color remote sensing (Gordon and Wang, 1994)...

Atmospheric correction of ocean-color sensors: effects of the Earth's curvature.

We investigate the influence of the curvature of the Earth on a proposed atmospheric-correction scheme for the Sea-Viewing Wide-Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) by simulating the radiance exiting the top of a spherical-shell atmosphere and inserting the result into the proposed correction algorithm. The error in the derived water-leaving reflectance suggests that the effects of the curvature are ...

Contribution of Ultraviolet and Shortwave Infrared Observations to Atmospheric Correction of PACE Ocean-Color Imagery

The Pre-Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will carry into space a spectrometer measuring at 5 nm resolution in the ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (NIR) and at lower resolution in spectral bands in the NIR and shortwave infrared (SWIR). These observations have great potential for improving estimates of marine reflectance in the post-EOS era. In view of this, we evaluate, usin...

Fields of non-linear regression models for atmospheric correction of satellite ocean-color imagery

Remote sensing of ocean color from space, a problem that consists in retrieving spectral marine reflectance from spectral top-of-atmosphere reflectance, is considered as a collection of similar inverse problems continuously indexed by the angular variables influencing the observation process. A general solution is proposed in the form of a field of non-linear regression models over the set T of...
