CEOS Instrument: Ocean Colour Monitor (Oceansat-3/3A)
Instrument: | OCM (Oceansat-3/3A) |
Agency: | ISRO |
Missions: | OCEANSAT-3 |
  | OCEANSAT-3A |
Status: | Proposed |
Type: | Medium-resolution spectro-radiometer |
Description: | Ocean colour data, Estimation of phytoplankton concentration, identification of potential fishing zones, assessment of primary productivity |
Spatial Resolution: | N/A |
Swath Width: | N/A |
Wavebands: | 12 channel |
Technology: | Medium-resolution spectro-radiometer |
Description: | Used when the number of channels is high and they are too close to be separated by dichroics and filters. The instrument spreads the radiation beam by means of a spectrometer, but thereafter only a limited number of channels is selected, that generally is re-programmable. Channels bandwidths 1-3 %, spatial resolution typically 0.5-5 km. Applicable in LEO and GEO. |
