The NIR-SWIR combined atmospheric correction approach for MODIS ocean color data processing

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)...

Water properties in Chesapeake Bay from MODIS-Aqua measurements

a r t i c l e i n f o This study evaluates the performance of ocean color products derived from measurements of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the satellite Aqua using the standard near-infrared (NIR) and the shortwave infrared (SWIR)-based atmospheric correction algorithms in the Chesapeake Bay. The MODIS-Aqua-derived normalized water-leaving radiances, nL w (λ), ...

Estimation of ocean contribution at the MODIS near-infrared wavelengths along the east coast of the U.S.: Two case studies

[1] Atmospheric correction for the ocean color products derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) uses two near-infrared (NIR) bands centered at 748 and 869 nm. Ocean is usually assumed to be black at these two NIR wavelengths. For Case-2 and high productive Case-1 waters, however, ocean could have significant contributions in the NIR, leading to significant under-e...

Bayesian Methodology for Atmospheric Correction of PACE Ocean-Color Imagery

Ocean Color Products Retrieval and Validation around China Coast with Modis

Waters along China coast are very turbid with high concentrations of suspended sediment nearly all the time, especially at the Hangzhou Bay, the Yangtze River estuary and the shoal along Jiangsu province. In these turbid and optically complex waters, the standard MODIS ocean color products tend to have invalid values. Because the water-leaving radiances in the near-infrared (NIR) are significan...
