  4. MODIS Instrument Considerations • MODIS algorithms are based on heritage instruments. • How does the MODIS instrument and MODIS orbit impact heritage processing algorithms?

  5. MODIS Comparison to AVHRR, SeaWiFS • 12 bit digitization vs 10 bit -> improved precision • Lower noise detectors -> subtle features better resolved • Global 1 km data stream vs 4km -> larger data sets but spatial features bettwer resolved • Additional spectral channels -> improved and additional product algorithms, better quality determination • Equatorial crossing time -> significant impact on atmospheric correction • Shared calibration sources: optical - MOBY buoy, infrared - MAERI interferometer, buoys

  13. Atmospheric Correction Equationt = r + (a + ra) + twc + tg + t w* w is the quantity we wish to retrieve at each wavelength. * g is Sun glint, the direct + diffuse reflectance of the solar radiance from the sea surface. This effect for SeaWiFS is minimized by tilting the sensor. MODIS does not tilt and the sun glint must be removed, depends on vector winds and polarization. * wc is the contribution due to "white"-capping, estimated from statistical relationship with wind speed. * ris the contribution due to molecular (Rayleigh) scattering, which can be accurately modeled. MODIS requires accurate measurement of change in mirror reflectivity with angle of incidence, depends on polarization, winds, atmospheric pressure* a + ra is the contribution due to aerosol and Rayleigh-aerosol scattering, estimated in NIR from measured radiances and extrapolated to visible using aerosol models.* t is the total reflectance measured at the satellite

  14. MODIS - SeaWiFS Atmospheric Correction Differences • Glint - Spectral diffuse glint term, modified Cox-Munk distribution with spectral weighting, must be removed for MODIS (non-tilting), SeaWiFS minimizes glint by tilting • Rayleigh - Polarization varies with satellite and solar zenith angles, MODIS mirror angle of incidence (AOI) affects reflectivity, SeaWiFS has constant AOI mirror • Multiple (10) detectors per spectral band - Affects Rayleigh, especially near nadir, SeaWiFS 1 detector/band • Equatorial crossing time - SeaWiFS noon, MODIS Terra 1030, Aqua 1330. Effects sun glint, bi-directional reflectance

  15. Atmospheric correction enhancements for MODIS • Instruments effects - detector and mirror side banding • Polarization • Sun-glint • Sun-satellite-observation point viewing geometry, overpass time and BRDF -bidirectional reflectance

  18. Correction reduces mirror and detector effects by a factor of 5 Terra Mirror Side Cross-scan vs time gain 412 nm uncorrected 412 nm corrected

  19. Inter-Detector gain adjustments • Correction to reduce detector to detector bias. • Plot of the at-launch relative response of each of the 10 detectors. • A general increasing linear response from detector 1 to detector 10 on the order of ~1% is present in all bands. The black line represents the inter-detector response after gains were adjusted by normalizing response to detector 5 and filtering La.

  23. Atmospheric correction enhancements for MODIS • Instruments effects - detector and mirror side banding • Polarization • Sun-glint • Sun-satellite-observation point viewing geometry, overpass time and BRDF -bidirectional reflectance

  24. Sun glint correction Sun glint influences large portions of the image. Several approaches to correcting the glint problem were investigated. Shape of sun glint determined from Cox-Munk distribution, wind speed dependent. a) We assumed sun glint was direct, include only Rayleigh scattering b) Added an aerosol component to the sun glint. Result: improved Lw retrievals in regions of sun glint contamination with reasonable spectral behavior. c) Include polarization. Sun glint correction currently a workable approximation but is limited both by differences in shape between real sun glint spatial distribution and the shape provided by Cox-Munk and by the accuracy of the NCEP wind fields.

  29. Calibration Approach • Use at surface nLw, atmospheric and surface reflectance corrected • Validation site for in situ reference is MOBY @ Hawaii, more extensive validation for other regions will require completion of reprocessing (use of SIMBIOS reference data) • Cross-scan: Referenced to pixel 500, minimum of sun glint • Detector Balance: Referenced to detector 5, low noise, center of detector array • Mirror side Balance: reference to side 1 • Remove time trends: Compare modal peak for area surrounding MOBY to MOBY, high temporal density, not dependent on cloud free conditions • Calibration: Adjust MOBY-MODIS single pixel match-ups to remove bias

  35. What’s the difference between MODIS chlorophylls? • “Case 1” waters: Chlor_MODIS (Clark) This is an empirical algorithm based on a statistical regression between chlorophyll and radiance ratios. • “Case 2” waters: Chlor_a_3 (Carder) This is a semi-analytic (model-based) inversion algorithm. This approach is required in optically complex “case 2” (coastal) waters. • A 3rd algorithm was added to provide a more direct linkage to the SeaWiFS chlorophyll: • “SeaWiFS-analog” Chlor_a_2 (Campbell) • SeaWiFS algorithm OC4.v4 (O’Reilly)
