9 Global Evaluation of Satellite Ocean Color Products from Europe, America and China: Toward a 15-yr merged global dataset

10 Background A 15-yr long global ocean color dataset is to be produced by merging major satellite data from Europe (MERIS), America (SeaWiFS and MODIS) and China (MERSI, COCTS). The first step is to evaluate the accuracy of these satellite data in the global scale and make a detailed comparison.

11 Major global ocean color sensors

12 SeaWiFS/Orbview-2 August 1997~December bands from 412 to 865 nm spatial resolution: 1 km swath width: 1502km Bands Signal-to-Noise Purpose 402~422nm 499 CDOM 433~453nm 674 Chlorophyll 480~500nm 667 Pigment, Kd ~520nm 640 Chlorophyll 545~565nm 596 Pigment, optical property, SPM 660~680nm 442 Atmosphere correction, chlorophyll 745~785nm 455 Atmosphere correction, chlorophyll 845~885nm 467 Atmosphere correction, chlorophyll

13 MODIS/Terra (Aqua) 1999~ (Terra); 2002~(Aqua) totally 36 bands, including 9 ocean color bands from 405 to 877 nm spatial resolution: 1 km swath width: 2330 km Bands Signal-to-Noise 405~420nm ~448nm ~493nm ~536nm ~556nm ~672nm ~683nm ~753nm nm 516

14 MERIS/ENVISAT April 2002~ March bands from 390 to 1040 nm spatial resolution: 1.2 km/0.3 km (RR/FR) swath width: 1150km Central wavelength/nm Band width/nm Design objective Yellow substance and detrital pigments Chlorophyll absorption maximum Chlorophyll other pigments Suspended sediment, red tides Chlorophyll absorption minmum Suspended sediment Chlorophyll absorption & fluo. reference Chlorophyll fluorescence peak Fluo. Reference, atmosphere corrections Vegetation, cloud O2-branch absorption band Atmosphere corrections Vegetation, water vapor reference Atmosphere corrections Water vapor, land

15 MERSI/FY-3 series The second generation of China s polar-orbit meteorological satellites. FY-3A, FY-3B, FY-3C was launched in May 2008, Nov and Sep. 2013, respectively. Totally 20 bands, including 9 ocean color bands Swath width: 2900 km.

22 Satellite VS. Satellite MERSI/FY-3 v.s. MODIS/AQUA MERSI daily products in 2011 from FY-3A and FY-3B were compared with concurrent MODIS. Close correlation and significant bias (>52%) were found. FY-3A 443nm 490nm 565nm R=0.487 R=0.370 R=0.557 FY-3B R=0.806 R=0.580 R=0.547

23 In summary, Satellite Rrs from SeaWiFS, MODIS and MERIS show comparable accuracy. Rrs uncertainties have the same spectral feature for, e.g. higher (28%~45%) in blue and red bands, and lower in green bands (13%~23%). Performance of MODIS and SeaWiFS is slightly better than MERIS, especially for the blue (412nm) and red band (670nm). MERSI/FY-3 Rrs data needs to be improved before being merged.

24 Evaluation of CHL products Satellite v. s. In-situ In situ data: from Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) period: 2000~ observation data (8:00-16:00) were selected

33 Improvement of MERSI/FY-3 CHL products Step 1: Evaluate the accuracy of MERSI-derived ocean color indices (e.g. R rs (443)/R rs (565), R rs (490)/R rs (565), CI) based on the MODIS counterparts. Step 2: Modify the MERSI-derived indices based on their regression relationships with MODIS counterparts. Step 3: Retrieve chlorophyll concentration using the modified MERSI-derived.
