| General Information |
The aim of NAOC is to provide advanced algorithms for better exploiting the information embedded in new multi-spectral ocean colour satellite observations. NAOC will provide pixel classification at the top of the atmosphere. It is expected to extract information on aerosol type and on water type which will be used for atmospheric correction and ocean constituent retrieval. Improved algorithms for atmospheric correction is crucial for obtaining accurate ocean information owing to the large percentage of the signal due to atmospheric influences. It is expected to be able to retrieve concentration of chlorophyll-a and other constituents.
