[Atmospheric correction of visible-infrared band FY-3A/MERSI data based on 6S model].

Based on the observation data from the meteorological stations in Taiyuan City and its surrounding areas of Shanxi Province, the atmosphere parameters for 6S model were supplied, and the atmospheric correction of visible-infrared band (precision 250 meters) FY-3A/MERSI data was conducted. After atmospheric correction, the range of visible-infrared band FY-3A/MERSI data was widened, reflectivity increased, high peak was higher, and distribution histogram was smoother. In the meantime, the threshold value of NDVI data reflecting vegetation condition increased, and its high peak was higher, more close to the real data. Moreover, the color synthesis image of correction data showed more abundant information, its brightness increased, contrast enhanced, and the information reflected was more close to real.
