Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate a red tide detection possibility of GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) which will be launched in 2008. To detect red tide, we use a similar wavelength range of MODIS normalized water-leaving radiance data instead of GOCI data. Supposed to GOCI, red tide detection algorithm is based on MRI(MODIS Red tide Index) and use 667nm band to filter turbid water. The algorithm's effectiveness is verified by detecting large Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide event that was appeared in Korean coastal waters. The evaluation was done by comparing the result with the update data provided by the NFRDI.
