Abstract

Sun light reflected from sea surface forms a high intensity solar ray. Sun-glint is created by Fresnel reflection which contaminates ocean color products. It covers up the real physical characteristics of water bodies and interferes with the inversion of ocean remote sensing data precision. In this paper, sun glint regional characteristics are simulated and analyzed in consideration of the different satellite attitude angles and time phases based on Cox–Munk model. The numerical simulation shows that through the satellites adjust attitude dynamically, the contamination area decreases by 11.8%.Onorbit test data are used to evaluate the method precision and it will contributes to the estimation of sun glint regional characteristics and strategy of on-orbit use.
