SeaWiFS Particulate Organic Carbon (POC)
上传时间:2019-05-23 00:05:25 浏览次数:作者与来源:admin
Particulate organic carbon is defined as the organic matter that is not able to pass through a filter (filters generally range in size between 0.7 and 0.22 um).
Unit: mg/m3
Resolution:  9km pixel, monthly
Duration: Sep. 1997 to Dec. 2010.
Source: Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor(SeaWiFS), NASA
Version: 2018
Processing: Original daily and monthly mean products are shown.
 
POC here calculated using an empirical relationship derived from in situ measurements of POC and blue-to-green band ratios of remote sensing reflectances (Rrs). The algorithm is a power law applied to a blue-to-green band ratio. The algorithm for VIIRS has been shown below:
poc=a×(Rrs(443)/Rrs(551))b
where a = 203.2; b = -1.034
Known issues
1. Satellite-to-in-situ validation results are available from the SeaWiFS Bio-Optical Archive and Storage System (SeaBASS) for seaWIFS. And the result shows a mean bias of 0.94858 and a mean absolute error(MAE) of 1.34854.
2. It is worth noting that the products here are mainly used to estimate the POC of the global ocean. When estimating the POC of a regional area, it is necessary to use the measured POC data to verify the applicability of the products presented here.
