The CMODIS is an ocean color sensor with 30 visible channels and 4 infrared channels, much different from other ocean color satellites and needs new algorithms to process data. Three models of Chl-a concentration were established based on Chl-a data retrieved from sea-viewing wide field-ofview sensor (SeaWiFS), with the average relative errors of 26. 6%, 24%. 0% and 33.5%, respectively. This practical and economic approach can be used for developing the algorithms of Chinese ocean color and temperature sensor (COCTS) on the satellite Haiyang-1 to derive the Chl-a concentration concentration distribution. The applicability of the algorithms was analyzed using some in situ measurements. Suspended sediment is the main factor influencing the accuracy of the spectral ratio algorithms of Chl-a concentration. The algorithms are suitable to using in the regions where suspended sediment concentrations ( SSC ) are less than 5 g/m^3 under the condition of relative error of Chl-a concentration retrieval within 35%. High concentration of suspended sediment leads to the overestimate remote sensing retrieval of concentration of Chl-a, while low-middle SSCs lead to the low Chl-a concentration values using the spectral ratio algorithms. Since the accuracy of Chl-a concentration by the spectral ratio algorithms is limited to waters of Case 2, it is necessary to develop semi-analytical models to improve the performance of satellite ocean color remote sensing in turbid coastal waters.展开更多

In this paper, first, the properties and characteristics of CMODIS are briefly introduced; second, the quality and availability are evaluated by means of the Complex signal noise ratio (CSNR) which is simulated theoretically; third, the received CMODIS data are compared with the Sea wide field of view sensor (SeaWiFS) / SeaSTAR data to understand the accuracy of radiance measurement by CMODIS; finally, the remote sensing products of ocean color and temperature are mapped by CMODIS to study its marine application potentiality. The results show that CMODIS has its latent capability for the application of marine environment detection, the management and protection of marine resources, and the national rights and interests. Meanwhile some suggestions are proposed to modify the next ge neration sensor on the Chinese spaceship.展开更多
