Abstract :
Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS) is a visible and infrared radiometer devoted to frequent global measurement of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and sea surface temperature. After a long break from global ocean-color observation, OCTS reopened its operations in November, 1996. An initial check of the sensor and preliminary results of cal/val have demonstrated the availability of the OCTS data for global ocean color research
