Satellite Image Products

Introducing satellite image data.

Product Level

[Level 0]
Level 0 data indicates the raw data received from a satellite without correction.
[Level 1A]
Level 1A data indicate the data converted into radiation luminance, a physical quantity that can be used for remote ocean sensing, after removing noise generated by the electrical characteristics of a satellite sensor and performing bolometric correction that adjusts the optical sensitivity of each pixel of the sensor for uniform value.
[Level 1B]
Level 1B data indicate the data that have undergone geometric correction to match the distortion of the geographic information of the Level 1A data to the actual position (latitude/longitude) of the Earth coordinate system.
[Level 2]
Level 2 data indicate the remote reflectance data that have undergone atmospheric correction that extracts less than 10 % sea signals by removing atmospheric signals corresponding to 90 % or more of TOA radiance from the Level 1B data, the ocean color products (e.g. Chl-a, aCDOM, TSM) with the input of the remote reflectance data, and diverse marine/atmospheric/land data algorithm products.
