Abstract

GCOM-C/SGLI is a multi-wavelength optical radiometer launched on December 23, 2017. The data provision has started from December 20, 2018. In this research, we briefly introduce standard Level 2 products and their validation results based on in situ data. Mean absolute percentage differences are 16.3 - 69.6% for NLW between 380 - 670 nm, 39 and 64.5% for AOT at 670 nm and 865 nm, 27.9% for CHL and 44.2% for aCDOM. Although the number of in situ validation data are still scare for a few ocean color products, the accuracy of GCOM-C/SGLI data will be improved by our future efforts of calibration/validation activities.
