Distribution Characteristics of Red Tide by Remote Sensing

Currently the rise of red tide as another marine environment problem is causing huge economic damages on the coastal waters of Korea every year. Rapid and exact detection is necessary for the minimization of damage derived from the red tide. To improve the weakness and complexity of the existing red tide detection method using ocean color sensor, Red Tide Index (RI) was invented by using band data generated by the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS)u0027s Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) Sensor and applied.
