The Proposal for the NASA Sensor Intercalibration and Merger for Biological and Interdisciplinary Oceanic Studies(SIMBIOS) Program, 1995

摘要: As a result of the Earth Observing System (EOS) restructuring exercise during last half fiscal year 1994, EOS Color mission, which was scheduled to be data-buy with 1998 launch dropped from mission manifest primarily because number international ocean color missions for in time frame. In lieu new NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) tasked by Headquarters develop an satellite calibration and validation plan multiple sensors. The objective activity methodology operational capability combine data products various manner that ensures best possible global coverage quality. program called Sensor Intercomparison Merger Biological Interdisciplinary Oceanic Studies (SIMBIOS) project coined biological term "symbiosis." This document is original proposal developed submitted May 1995. SIMBIOS approved 1996 initiated 1997 office technical staff at GSFC science team assist development sets, sensor calibration, atmospheric correction, bio-optical merger algorithms. Since its inception, has resulted broad-based collaboration on satellites.
