Abstract

This study aims at the automatic detection of the ocean eddies from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) L1B data in the China Seas. First, the sea surface temperature (SST) is estimated from MODIS Aqua/Terra L1B data using the nonlinear IMAPP algorithm. Based on the distribution of SST, the characteristics of ocean eddies such as the position, the size, and the elliptical parameters can be investigated using the multi-scale edge detection technique. The MODIS L1B data can be obtained in near real time, therefore, the automatic near-real-time detection of ocean eddies can be realized.
