Abstract :
OCTS (Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner) onboard ADEOS (Advanced Earth Observing Satellite) is a visible and infrared radiometer devoted to frequent global measurement of Chl-a and sea surface temperature. The results of OCTS Cal/Val shows that (1) the OCTS instrument is almost performing at or beyond engineering specifications, (2) OCTS Chl-a derived through a new algorithm agrees with the in situ Chl-a to some extent, and (3) SSTs are derived with rmse of 0.69 K
