Abstract

Using the techniques of quantitative ocean color sensing, the in-water ocean color algorithms for sediment and chlorophyll-a retrieval are established for CBERS-02 CCD broad spectral bands based onin situ data. The remote sensing reflectance of water is derived from CCD radiance data by a clear water atmospheric correction algorithm. Then, the sediment and chlorophyll-a concentrations are retrieved from CCD image. The sediment retrieval is quite satisfactory, but the chlorophyll-a retrieval is not so good because of the broadband width and low signal-to-noise ratio of the CCD camera.
