Ocean Observation Satellite

GOCI -Ⅱ

Introducing the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager -Ⅱ

GOCI -Ⅱ

GOCI -Ⅱ, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager -Ⅱ

The GOCI-II, a maritime sensor of GK-2B, which is a geostationary satellite (Geo-Kompsat-2B), takes over the role of GOCI and observes the entire sectors including Northeast Asia.

In comparison with GOCI, the GOCI -Ⅱ is available for better spatial and temporal resolution, observation area, and optical performance, etc. and gives 26 types of products rather than 13 ones.

Points of GOCI-ll, better than GOCI
