An Atmospheric Correction Algorithm Of Ocean Color Satellite For Case Ⅱ Water

Ocean color sensing is always caused a world of attention since the 1970's. Because the atmospheric correction algorithms of ocean color satellite are not so developed and the marine optical properties not so clearly known, ocean color sensing of case II water is not successful in world range.Radiative transfer model in the atmosphere-ocean system is completed in this paper by connecting three-component model of ocean color with radiative transfer theory. And a new atmospheric correction algorithm of ocean color satellite for case II water is then developed based on this radiative transfer model. We can determine the aerosol parameters and the concentrations of three marine components simultaneously by this algorithm. We also did some work on atmospheric correction and ocean color sensing of Chinese Xiamen sea area.The atmospheric correction results of aerosol parameters are quite precise to the values gotten by measurements and a primary success on ocean color sensing is also made.
