Reduction of atmospheric scattering effect from remote sensing data on the ocean surface

The atmospheric correction of remote sensing data is considered using the statistical approach. A sensor outside the earth's atmosphere looking down on the ocean surface is examined. A statistical method is proposed to reduce the atmospheric scattering for remote sensing data based on the ocean surface based on the regression analysis. Then, by using an atmospheric scattering model and Rayleigh and Mie scattering mechanism, it is shown that the statistical reduction method proposed here has some physical meaning.
