Validation and applications of GLI Ocean product

After ADEOS-2 launch on 14 December 2002, GLI ocean group has investigated vicarious calibration, algorithm improvement and product validation, and released version-1 products on 24 December 2003. Although we lost ADEOS-2/GLI on 24 October 2003, we continue product evaluation and algorithm revision toward the future product updates. For example, we are investigating absorptive aerosol correction and 250-m ocean color image processing. The absorptive aerosol correction is very important especially in the East Asia where is surrounded by the fast developing countries and influenced frequently by a kind of carbon aerosols. The 250-m products are made using GLI 250-m channels from blue to near-infrared, and enable to detect fine spatial structures in the coastal areas.
