Sensor Capability and Atmospheric Correction in Ocean Colour Remote Sensing

Sensor Capability and Atmospheric Correction in Ocean Colour Remote Sensing

Accurate correction of the corrupting effects of the atmosphere and the water’s surface are essential in order to obtain the optical, biological and biogeochemical properties of the water from satellite-based multiand hyper-spectral sensors. The major challenges now for atmospheric correction are the conditions of turbid coastal and inland waters and areas in which there are strongly-absorbing ...

Atmospheric correction algorithm for hyperspectral remote sensing of ocean color from space.

Existing atmospheric correction algorithms for multichannel remote sensing of ocean color from space were designed for retrieving water-leaving radiances in the visible over clear deep ocean areas and cannot easily be modified for retrievals over turbid coastal waters. We have developed an atmospheric correction algorithm for hyperspectral remote sensing of ocean color with the near-future Coas...

Evaluation of shortwave infrared atmospheric correction for ocean color remote sensing of Chesapeake Bay

Ocean and Polarization observations from active remote sensing: Atmospheric and Ocean science applications

In the past few years, we have demonstrated how the surface return measured by the active instruments onboard CloudSat and CALIPSO could be used to retrieve the optical depth and backscatter phase function (lidar ratio) of aerosols and ice clouds. This methodology lead to the development of a data fusion product publicly available at the ICARE archive center using the Synergized Optical Depth o...
