  1. CIOSS Ocean Optics Ocean Optics, Cal/Val Plans, CDR Records for Ocean Color Ricardo M Letelier Oregon State University • Outline • - Defining Ocean Color products and their use • Cal/Val issues with special emphasis in coastal • environments • Developing NOAA’s capability for ocean color CDRs •  Outcome of our first workshop Aug 2005

  2. CIOSS Ocean Optics HES-CW Threshold & Goal Channels and their Applications Aug 2005

  3. CIOSS Ocean Optics Uses for Ocean Color Products • Near real-time observations over regional scales - for short term forecasting (i.e. human and ecosystem health, navigation hazards) - to study ecosystem response to physical forcings (i.e. nat. res. management) • Long term time-series to characterize seasonal, inter-annual and decadal changes (landscape change, ecosystem climate response) Aug 2005

  4. CIOSS Ocean Optics • From Gregg et al. 2005: • Looking at interannual variability in global annual chlorophyll distribution •  4% global increase • Changes are not uniform •  Increases in coastal areas • Trend is different that previously observed previously between the 80s and 90s From Behrenfeld (unpublished) Aug 2005

  7. CIOSS Ocean Optics nLw consistency & In Situ Verification Field Validation: Lwn’s Temporal Consistency * Lwn: Normalized Water-leaving Radiance From NASA / Ocean Color Processing Group Aug 2005

  8. CIOSS Ocean Optics From nLw to ocean color products Reflectance spectrum as a function of [chl a] 1 CIOSS postdoc worked on the processing of the Oregon Coast optics and SeaWiFS/MODIS match-up data (2003-2004) COAS-OSU Direct Broadcast Aug 2005

  9. GLOBEC NEP AUGUST 2002 chlFLH empirical (this study) In situ chl MODIS chla_2 CIOSS Ocean Optics Aug 2005

  11. CIOSS Ocean Optics Inverse bio-optics approach using the merging of concurrent remote sensing datasets SeaWiFS MODIS Terra/Aqua In situ Bio-optics In situ discrete samples Oregon Datasets From Maritorena & Siegel (2005) Aug 2005

  12. CIOSS Ocean Optics Developing long term Ocean Color Products Aug 2005

  13. CIOSS Ocean Optics A Consistent Ocean Color Time Series Requires Similar: • Calibration • Algorithms • Spatial and Temporal Resolution (Level-3) • Data Format • Access • Analysis Tools • Quantification of errors and biases Aug 2005

  14. CIOSS Ocean Optics Information Flow L1A data  Navigate, calibrate (vicarious)  L2 algorithms (input ancillary fields of humidity, ozone, wind speed, surface pressure)  Binning in space and time  L3 fields • Satellite/sensor information appended to L1A • Issues regarding preserving geometry, etc. for VIIRS • Differences between “level” world and IPO definitions of RDR, SDR, EDR, etc. Aug 2005

  15. CIOSS Ocean Optics Climate Data Records • Chlorophyll (global) as Thematic Climate Data Record (TCDR) • May be others in the future as knowledge improves • nLwas Fundamental Climate Data Record (FCDR) • We require saving these at full resolution of sensor • Assumes that Level 1A data are preserved Aug 2005

  16. CIOSS Ocean Optics Chlorophyll as TCDR • Ensuring consistency across multiple platforms • Challenging in NPOESS era given launch-on-failure strategy • Sensor overlap greatly facilitates creation of consistent data records • Sensor pre-launch & on-orbit characterization • Looking at the Moon • Need access to solar diffuser data • Defining resolution scales • In situ data • Vicarious calibration • Validation • Intercalibration of in situ sensors • Need more than one sites? • Archive services • Documentation • Data access and Formats • Processing & reprocessing • Need science-focused processing system Aug 2005

  17. CIOSS Ocean Optics Normalized Water-leaving Radiances (nLw) as FCDR • Ancillary data fields • Documentation on models • Versions of fields • Current version of vicarious calibration • Ocean Color Project experience • Ensembles of tables, input fields, etc. • Validation • Need SeaBASS-like system for in situ data Aug 2005

  18. CIOSS Ocean Optics Roles and Responsibilities • There is a continuing need for NASA involvement, given its extensive experience in ocean color and its focus on scientific research • NOAA needs to begin to develop its own capacity to produce CDRs • Next step will be a workshop focusing on the end-to-end processes needed to meet the science requirements for ocean color CDRs • Workshop will be held on the East Coast to ensure involvement from NASA and NOAA Aug 2005
