RGB image of normalized water leaving radiances
RGB image of normalized water leaving radiances (nLw at 666nm, 545nm and 460nm) derived by
GLI ocean-color algorithm (OTSK1a) using MODIS L1B data in 20 February 2001.
Land and cloud area are filled by RGB-image of satellite observed radiances (at 625nm, 545nm and 490nm).
Upper left is the mouse of the Changjiang river. Japan island is in the upper right and Okinawa island is in the middle right.
This image show "ocean color" removing the atmospheric effect. The ocean color changes in various conditions (in the mouse of the Changjiang river, Kuroshio, Ariake Bay etc.) due to solids, biological activities.
