description Ocean color remote sensing has provided extensive datasets of various bio-optical parameters, which are essential for studying marine biogeochemical processes and ecosystems. However, factors such as the clouding cover, sun glint, and wide sensor viewing angles often result in missing satellite data, which complicates near-real-time ocean monitoring and may introduce errors in time-series analyses due to limited data availability. Remote sensing reflectance <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$(R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda ))$</tex-math></inline-formula> constitutes the primary product in ocean color remote sensing, which serves as a source deriving for most bio-optical products. This study aims to reconstruct a daily gap-free <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> dataset using the data interpolating empirical orthogonal functions method, applied on moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-Aqua daily time-series <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> product, focusing on the Eastern China Seas as a case study. The evaluation demonstrates the reconstructed <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> data is both feasible and accurate in terms of magnitude and spectral shape. The reconstructed <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> data were then utilized to derive secondary ocean color products, including the diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm for downwelling irradiance and chlorophyll-<italic>a</italic> concentration, which revealed high similarity and accuracy versus those calculated from the original MODIS <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> data. These findings suggest that the reconstructed daily <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> data can effectively serve as foundational data for calculating other ocean color satellite products. These gap-free ocean color satellite products produced in this study can be further utilized in oceanographic studies and as inputs for marine ecosystem models to predict marine ecological environments. Future research will focus on <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R_{\text{rs}}(\lambda )$</tex-math></inline-formula> reconstruction using multiple ocean color sensor data and extending the approach to other water regions.
