海洋一号C（HY-1C）卫星是中国首颗海洋水色业务卫星，其搭载的海岸带成像仪（CZI）在近海海洋环境监测中正发挥越来越重要的作用；随着搭载有相同传感器的HY-1D卫星发射，双星组网观测，可形成3天2次的高频次、大范围对海观测能力，在海洋漂浮藻类、海洋溢油等目标探测方面具备优异的效能。高空间分辨率光学数据中包含了丰富的海洋环境信息，给特定目标的识别提取带来一定干扰。本研究面向HY-1C卫星CZI载荷开展中国近海漂浮藻类识别提取的业务化应用需求，发展基于藻类缩放指数与虚拟基线高度融合的海洋漂浮藻类识别提取算法，算法优选适用于无短波红外波段国产数据的虚拟基线高度指数来增强藻类信号，通过藻类缩放指数滑动窗口运算，有效剔除高空间分辨率光学数据中的复杂干扰信息，实现了基于CZI数据的海洋漂浮藻类高精度提取，且具有较好的计算运行效率。此外，结合准同步高分卫星16 m多光谱数据，开展CZI数据含藻像元的不确定性分析，发现CZI数据反演结果对近海小斑块漂浮藻类存在不可忽视的高估现象。研究还指出，光学数据用于漂浮藻类监测，其不确定性不仅来源于传感器的空间分辨率差异，还与海洋漂浮藻类形态特征的空间分异性有关。明晰海洋漂浮藻类的形态学空间分异特征，将有助于提高光学数据反演结果的精度，并阐明不确定性。

A refined imagery algorithm to extract green tide in the Yellow Sea from HY-1C satellite CZI measurements

As China’s first operational ocean color sensor, the coastal zone imager (CZI) carried by Haiyang-1C (HY-1C) satellite is playing an increasingly significant role in offshore ocean environmental monitoring. After the launch of HY-1D satellite, the combination of CZI sensors can provide two observations in three days for coastal zone through dual-satellite system. CZI sensors have demonstrated prominent application advantages for monitoring marine floating algae, oil spill and so on. Since the high spatial resolution optical data contains abundant information about the marine environment, it also brings some distraction to the identification and extraction of specific ocean targets. In this work, a novel CZI algorithm was developed based on cooperation of scaled algae index (SAI) and virtual baseline floating macroalgae height (VB-FAH) to extract floating green tide information in the Yellow Sea from HY-1C satellite CZI measurements. VB-FAH method can be used to enhance the difference between floating algae and sea water, especially for satellite’s sensors with no short-wave infrared bands. After that, the algorithm efficiently rejects the complex interference information in the ocean high spatial resolution optical data by SAI sliding window. The algorithm has high accuracy and time efficiency in the extraction of floating green tide from CZI measurements. Moreover, the study carried out an uncertainty analysis for the area of algae-containing pixels between HY-1C satellite CZI data with 50 m spatial resolution and GF-1 satellite WFV1 data with 16 m spatial resolution. The result indicates that the uncertainty in the inversion results of CZI data mainly comes from the over estimation of small patches of floating algae. The study also pointed out that the uncertainty of optical data for floating algae monitoring is not only from the difference of spatial resolution between two sensors, but also related to the spatial variability of the morphological size of floating algae. Exploring the morphological spatial variability of floating algae will help improve the accuracy of optical data inversion results and clarify the uncertainty.
