Dual generative adversarial networks for merging ocean transparency from satellite observations

Satellite ocean transparency data have low spatial coverage due to cloud shading, sun glint, swath width, and temporal revisit. Merging multiple satellite ocean transparency data can improve spatial coverage and create a high-accuracy data set. This study proposed a new satellite ocean transparency...

description Satellite ocean transparency data have low spatial coverage due to cloud shading, sun glint, swath width, and temporal revisit. Merging multiple satellite ocean transparency data can improve spatial coverage and create a high-accuracy data set. This study proposed a new satellite ocean transparency merging model based on dual generative adversarial networks (ZSD-merging GAN), and the products of full-coverage and high-accuracy ocean transparency were produced. The ZSD-merging GAN comprises the guess GAN and the merging GAN. The guess GAN is used to generate the guess of the ocean transparency merged product, while the merging GAN combines the guess and satellite ocean transparency data to produce the merged product. The experiments show that the spatial coverage of the ZSD-merging GAN product is 100%. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) and average relative error (ARE) between the ZSD-merging GAN product and unmerged ocean transparency data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on JPSS1 are 4.31 m and 11%, respectively, which are better than 5.59 m and 17% for historical average, 5.55 m and 19% for guess product, 5.08 m and 17% for Poisson blending product, and 5.12 m and 21% for Kriging interpolation product.
