2 Outline Quick overview of stray light problem Overview of NIST 2008 data collection, processing and matrix creation TASKS Analysis of the laser observations Extension to the other collectors Validate matrix results by implementing alternate techniques Test on 2008 in situ MOBY data and compare to existing method Validate method with CIE color coordinate analysis of Es results and the use of specialized validation sources Generate report 2

3 Quick overview of Stray light problem Laser Data Incident Ray Diffuse Haze Specular Surface Stray light is light scattered off optical surfaces Three contributing factors: haze, diffuse and reflections. One laser scan tells us how light at this wavelength affects the CCD detectors What we want is how light at any/all wavelengths affects one part of the CCD (wavelength). A single pixel responsivity is the function that defines this effect at one measurement wavelength for all other wavelengths. Matrix for the entire CCD Specular Beam Haze Diffuse Modeled Single pixel responsivity (SPR) 3

4 Quick overview of Stray light problem Why Stray light Correct SLCed and Uncorrected MOBY LuTop data for c_SCLed.mld Because otherwise we have a spectral bias = wrong answer Problem worsened by calibrating with a white source and measuring a blue source. The evidence is blue and red spectrographs do not meet in the overlap (black line = 620 nm). The matrix created from laser data removes the stray light from the in- water and system response data.

Opt. 45, (2006) M240 Lu (µw/cm²/sr/nm) Blue spec Red spec Old SLC Wavelength (nm) 4

6 Quick overview of Stray light problem MOBY vs MOBY-C Stray light performance of MOBY-C C is expected to be 20 times less than MOBY Holospec and CP140 were test instruments: Resonon is the final design Normalized Signal (a. u.)

7 Quick overview of Stray light problem Existing MOBY SLC : 2002: laser data collected in Hawaii. Even and Odd buoy s s blue and red spectrograph, limited spectral coverage. Laser scan data were modeled using analytical functions. Stray light correction (SLC) is applied with an iterative approach. The final and current version of this approach was applied in Jan Habauzit, C., S.W. Brown, B.C. Johnson, M. Yarbrough, M. Feinholz, and D.K Clark (2000).

8 Quick overview of Stray light problem Stray light in MOS Around 2005 (MOBY ), 232), the SLC became less effective. Blue/red spectrograph discrepancy at 620 nm increased Band ratio using the internal calibration lamp time series also changed in Implication is scattered light has changed in the MOS optics LuTop (µw/cm²/sr/nm) Larger M228 M Wavelength (nm) 8

9 Quick overview of Stray light problem Blue LED time series - Even Low signal areas are highly influenced by stray light. High signal areas less so. Two major epochs for the even buoy. Blue LED (ADU/pix/sec) Blue LED Wavelength (nm) 9

10 Quick overview of Stray light problem Blue LED time series - Odd There are a number of epochs for the odd buoy. A through MOBY design, which included the internal calibrations labs and other sensors, allows us to sort this out later. 10

For the Odd buoys the picture is more complicated. The high RH was during M231 and 33. *Laser *Laser *Laser *P *P *P *P *P *P *P *P *P Sequential Day Green = lamp ratio, Blue = relative humidity Ratio 2 of BSG UV / BSG 550nm ~max (in-water) Ratio 2 of BSG UV / BSG 550nm ~max (in-water) 11

12 Overview of NIST 2008 data NIST 2008 SIRCUS data New complete laser data take in 2008 in June and November at NIST (even and odd buoys) Data collected every ~5 nm for LuTop and LuMOS. Data collected every ~30 nm for LuMid and Bot, EdSfc, EdTop (Mid and Bot) 12

13 Overview of NIST 2008 data 2008 SIRCUS data - Odd Odd buoy June 2008 MOBY241/ laser data sets collected over 10 days Color source validation data also collected 10 0 June Odd MOBY - Blue Spectrograph - LuTop (fibered) - smoothed Laser data (normed to in-band area) Pixel 13

15 Overview of NIST 2008 data Movie of Laser data Even buoy BSG Fibered Laser data - smoothed Even buoy RSG Fibered Laser data - smoothed 15

16 Overview of NIST 2008 data Processing laser data Quality checking is applied (spikes and suspect scans are removed, if possible) Data is adjusted by darks, integration time and bin factor - ADU/pix/sec Problem data are fixed (oscillations, noise in scans, out- of-band noise/level) Single spectrum analysis used to smooth data Divide by in-band area and interpolate to fill in the missing laser data (started with 58 need 512 one for each CCD column pixel). 16

17 Overview of NIST 2008 data Matrix for BSG Even Fibered 17

18 A Overview of NIST 2008 data Applying the Matrix B A = the SLC matrix, B = in-water Lu data (ADU/pix/sec) Pixel 1 (B) is multiplied by row 1 (A), then pixel 2/row 2 up to pixel/row 512. Matrix C is the result. Summing the rows in C produce the green/red line in D This must be done for in-water and system response data. E shows Matrix C with the in-band removed and normalized to the total out-of of-band C D E 18

19 Analysis of the laser observations Raw Data problems First all spikes and suspect scans (which can be removed) are removed Sine waves are removed using single spectrum analysis (Nov 2008 data) Low laser power data must be fixed (both) Noise and step changes in spectral laser data fixed (June 2008 data) 19

20 Analysis of the laser observations Noise and Step Changes (June 2008 data only) Affects and 635 nm data Steps removed by shifting data up or down No Quality Checking VR 2 VR 3 VR 4 VR 5 VR Resulting Laser data Before and After fix No QCHK QCHK After Fixin' Mikes Data 407 nm Mikes Data 458 nm Laser Data (ADU) - BSG Laser Data (ADU) - BSG Pixel Pixel 20

22 Analysis of the laser observations Linear Interpolation Align peaks of adjacent laser observations Linearly weight the aligned laser data Add the two weighted laser observations to create the new laser data [before after] pixel = [ ] Pixel = Pixel = Pixel = 479 Before After Interped 10-4 Pixel = Pixel = Pixel = Pixel Pixel 22

23 Analysis of the laser observations 2008 vs Existing SLC - Even Largest change in the UV and red spectrograph Only run on a few examples The lower panels shows a 4.3% increase in MODIS- Terra band 8 (411.8) nm. Preliminary Changes to some MODIS-Terra Bands (one example) M240 SLCed Lw (µw/cm²/sr/nm) Ratio of New SLC / Old SLC Comparison of uncorrected, old and new SLC for d_SCLed.mld Lw1 Uncor Lw1 Old Lw1 New Wavelength (nm) 23

24 Analysis of the laser observations LuMOS data No optical fibers, which causes square peaks Data was processed and smoothed. Interpolation not started. Need a slightly different algorithm for the square reflection peaks and broad feature. Laser Data 450 nm Reflection peak LuMOS LuTop Broad feature Wavelength Pixel (nm) 10 0 Laser Data (ADU/pix/sec) Pixel 24

25 Extension to other collectors Extension to Other Collectors Preliminary analysis shows the other fibered inputs are very similar to the LuTop data Only significant variation is around the reflection peaks Highly likely the LuTop matrix will work for other fibered sensors. Laser Data (normed to in-band area) LuTop LuMid LuBot EdSfc EdTop EdMid EdBot LuTop LuMid LuBot EdSfc EdTop EdMid EdBot 10-3 LuTop LuMid LuBot EdSfc EdTop EdMid EdBot Pixel Pixel Pixel 25

26 Analysis of the laser observations and Extension to the other channels Summary All laser data were processed and all LuTop and LuMOS are smoothed Some problems with the data are still pending Progress has been made on finishing the 8 matrices needed Buoy Sensor Blue Spectrograph Red Spectrograph Even Fibered Done Close (3 lasers need attention) Odd Fibered Close (fix UV data) Preliminary only (basic matrix) Even LuMOS Not started Not started Odd LuMOS Not started Not started 26

27 Implementing alternate techniques Alternate SLC Algorithm David Harris, NIST Maximizes a likelihood function No separation of in-band from out-of of-band Laser observations modeled analytically Solution from optimization using quadratic programming Bayesian inference negative results non physical Advantages and disadvantages still need to be sorted out. Technique may be appropriate for other systems 27

28 Implementing alternate techniques Cumulative summation interpolation Eric Shirley NIST Uses cumulative summation and interpolation to create matrix Feathering on the reflection peak is the primary problem. Source of feathering identified Likely solution identified Advantages: Totally independent method and great potential for future work 28

29 Test on in situ MOBY data Testing on MOBY data Limited (a few files) have been used to test matrix during developments (around when laser data was collected) Still needs to be applied to deployment 42 and 43. This study of 2008 MOBY data will be begin once the stray light matrices are finalized. 29

30 Validate method Validating method Still need to acquire a high accuracy validation data set. Need comparable spectral distribution to the Lu spectra Need to improve on the current measurements by use of alternative sources such as LEDs Sources must be calibrated w/ low uncertainties ~ % Measurements must occur at time of MOBY cals Colored Source Data (uw/cm 2 /sr/nm) OL420 S2 BG28 BG39 PER Truth MOBY Wavelength (nm) 30

31 Generate report Generating Report We will publish this work, consisting of description of MOBY SIRCUS measurements, analysis of these data, description of validation data, estimation of the uncertainties, and impact on the MOBY deployments 241 and 242.
