Design and development of a mini-type ocean color surface spectroradiometer based on S2000

This paper describes the design and deployment of an ocean color surface spectral radiometer based on S2000 radiometer.The data measured by the radiometer is diffused on a moving platform,such as a ship for in situ measurements.It can detect two indispensable parameters—water-leaving spectral radiance and irradiance.In this paper,not only the whole design scheme is introduced,but also the designs of optics components-irrandiance sensor and radiance sensor are illuminated.This paper also describes how to measure the water-leaving radiance by the change of mechanical configuration.From the calibration and experiment results of the spectral radiometer,we can see the spectral radiometer is fairly accurate and the results satisfactory.It can provide sufficient irradiant data to meet the need of scientific study and has it a bright application prospect.
