• Atmospheric correction algorithm should be tested with GSD.
• Need Case-II water algorithm development.
• In-water algorithm must be verified and improved for 2000-2001, and it is recommended to have a workshop to work with a common data set.
• Binning algorithm of chlorophyll should use log-transformed averaging at least in the early version because high possibility of contamination of noises, and may be changed to normal averaging after confirmation of low noise in the products.
• Further evaluation of the weighting of binning algorithm is required.
• There was a discussion about algorithm for CDOM and further discussion is required before the decision.

• Polarization sensitivity must be studied as a function of tilt/scan angle.
• Polarization effect must be corrected if necessary.
• We recommend further characterization of stray light conducting additional test.
• We recommend JAXA to fully characterize the non-linearity of GLI.
• Science community thinks it could be a serious problem. It is required to assess the impact of low saturation radiance. We recommend JAXA to provide with simulated data using OCTS or SeaWiFS.

• EUS must be improved to make easier to use.
• CHL and SST must be used for OC and ST.
• RGB false color of 666, 565, 490nm for NL is recommended and, it must be tested by JAXA.
