GOCI  

Definition

  • GOCI is the world's 1st geostationary ocean color imager with the objective to provide multispectral (8-band) VIS/NIR data. The radiometer is designed to be operated in a 2D staring-frame capture mode. The instrument provides an important new capability for imagining the coastal zone where the phenomena varying on shorter space and time scales demand a simultaneous increase in spatial and temporal resolution. GOCI will provide multiple views of many locations within the fixed region during a single day (i.e. 8 images during the daytime and 2 images during the nighttime). The data from GOCI will therefore address various research areas in coastal, oceanographic and atmospheric sciences. The overall observation objectives of GOCI include the following capabilities: • Detecting, monitoring and predicting of short-term biophysical phenomena • Support for studies on bio-geochemical variables and cycle • Detecting, monitoring and predicting noxious or toxic blooms of algae of notable extension • Monitoring of the health state of marine ecosystems • Permitting an assessment of the geological and biological response to physical dynamics • Support of coastal zone and resource management • Provision of improved information on marine fisheries to the fisherman communities.
