Preliminary After-launch GOCI Characterization: Inter-slot radiance discrepancy issue Young-Je Park*, Hee-Jeong Han, Seongick Cho, Joo-HyungRyu, Jae-Hyun Ahnand Yu-WhanAhn Korea Ocean Satellite Center, Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute Presented at IGARSS 2011, Vancouver, Canada
Objectives • To understand the inter-slot radiance discrepancy issue • To seek ideas/suggestions on how to approach this GOCI specific issue
Sensors have specific issues • MODIS stripe noise • detector calibration • difference in mirror side characteristics • Sensitivity to polarization state • MERIS • SMILE effects: wavelength variation • Discontinuity at some camera interface
Outline • Overview of the GOCI optical system and image acquisition sequence • Inter-slot discrepancy: • variability within a slot • variability across different slot boundaries • variability with observation hours (0, 3, 7 hours) • How RT simulations show • Image smoothing technique • Future directions
GOCI optical layout Three Mirror Anastigmatic Telescope
GOCI slots imaging sequence 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 9 10 11 12 16 15 14 13
Nominal time intervals for GOCI operation • Interval between bands = ~ 8 seconds • Interval between consecutive L1a slots = ~ 103 seconds • Duration for acquiring one GOCI image = ~ 103*16 seconds = 27 minutes • Interval between consecutive GOCI images = one hour • Interval between the adjacent slots in L1B scene = up to ~103*7 seconds or 12 minutes => sun angle difference??
Requirements for comparing radiances from two slots • Accurate geometric registration • Spatially homogenous conditions for the atmosphere and water are preferred, which is to avoid seeing different air/water mass from two different slots
Variability within a slot • 20110330_0h image: slot 3-6 border
Variability across different slot boundaries • 20110330-3h
Inter-slot discrepancy: spectral aspect(033003) • Slot #2-7 border
Inter-slot discrepancy: spectral aspect(033003) • Slot #3-6 border
Slot border reflectance change • Within a slot border: moderately variable with consistent difference spectra • For different slot borders: variable magnitude, moderately variable spectra • For different observation hours: larger difference (lower reflectance for the upper slot) in the 7h image • Bands 7 & 8 reflectance ratio changes significantly, which has a serious effect on atmospheric correction that uses those bands.

An image smoothing technique • Distance-to-border weighted average • Applied to overlapped area • Simple and good for image generation • Smoothing the TOA reflectance data will not be good for downstream data processingincluding the atmospheric correction. • Smoothing the geophysical parameters would make sense.

Future work • Clarify questions of • Is it an issue of the GOCI radiometric calibration? • Is it an issue of the band filter properties? • Is it an issue of the ghost image? • Develop a scientifically based model to correct the inter-slot discrepancy. Bands6,7,8 are critical for atmospheric correction.
