Radiometric comparison of two ocean color scanners Nimbus-7/CZCS and OSTA-1/OCEOn November 14, 1981 the area around the Gibraltar Strait was observed by two different ocean color scanners: a Space Shuttle-borne Ocean Color Experiment and Coastal Zone Color Scanner (Nimbus-7/CZCS). This presented an opportunity to study the gradual degradation of the CZCS sensitivity by comparing the two sensors. Upwelling radiances from eleven targets were compared. The results of the analysis indicate that the CZCS sensitivities at channels 1 and 2 are down to 65 percent and 78 percent. However, the evidence for channels 3 and 4 deterioration could not be found.
