About
Dr. Mingsen Lin is a leading figure in satellite oceanography, whose work has been instrumental in advancing China’s ocean color remote sensing capabilities. His primary research focuses on the calibration, validation, and application of spaceborne ocean color sensors, particularly the Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) aboard the HY-1C satellite. Dr. Lin’s major contributions lie in ensuring the accuracy of global ocean color data, which is critical for studying the carbon cycle and ocean-atmospheric interactions. His highly cited 2020 study (33 citations) provided the first global chlorophyll-a concentrations derived from the HY-1C satellite, offering a new and vital data source for the international oceanographic community. Complementing this, his 2019 work on vicarious calibration (31 citations) established a rigorous methodology to correct sensor biases in the visible and near-infrared bands, a necessary step for obtaining reliable remote sensing reflectance. Through these foundational efforts, Dr. Lin has directly enabled the use of China’s HY-1C satellite for global biogeochemical research, solidifying his role as a key architect of the nation’s operational ocean color observation program.
