However, before their application, atmospheric correction is required to remove or reduce the atmospheric effects caused by molecular and aerosol scattering and absorption. In this study, we first processed airborne hyperspectral CASI-1500 data acquired on 4 May 2019 over the Uljin coast of Korea with Polymer and then compared the performance with the other two widely used atmospheric correction approaches, i.e., 6S and FLAASH, to determine the most appropriate correction technique for CASI-1500 data in coastal waters. Our results show the superiority of Polymer over 6S and FLAASH in deriving the Rrs spectral shape and magnitude. The performance of Polymer was further evaluated by comparing CASI-1500 Rrs data with those obtained from the MODIS-Aqua sensor on 3 May 2019 and processed using Polymer. The spectral shapes of the derived Rrs from CASI-1500 and MODIS-Aqua matched well, but the magnitude of CASI-1500 Rrs was approximately 0.8 times lower than MODIS Rrs. The possible reasons for this difference were time difference (1 day) between CASI-1500 and MODIS data, higher land adjacency effect for MODIS-Aqua than for CASI-1500, and possible errors in MODIS Rrs from Polymer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13245062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,14]],"date-time":"2021-12-14T01:22:05Z","timestamp":1639444925000},"page":"5062","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Atmospheric Correction of Airborne Hyperspectral CASI Data Using Polymer, 6S and FLAASH"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Mengmeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pusan National University, Pusan 43241, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Institute of Surveying and Monitoring for Planning and Natural Resources, Chongqing 400120, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0205-8121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hongzhen","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faisal Ahmed","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environmental Studies, University of Karachi, Karachi 75270, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qinping","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joaquim I.","family":"Goes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Marine Biology and Paleo Environment, Columbia University, Palisades, NY 10964-8000, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6287-354X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helga do R.","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Marine Biology and Paleo Environment, Columbia University, Palisades, NY 10964-8000, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3237-9794","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wonkook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pusan National University, Pusan 43241, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"993","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2011.11.068","article-title":"Estimation of chlorophyll-a concentration in turbid productive waters using airborne hyperspectral data","volume":"46","author":"Moses","year":"2012","journal-title":"Water Res."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"290","DOI":"10.1016\/S0034-4257(97)89496-5","article-title":"Remote sensing estimates of inherent optical properties in a coastal environment","volume":"61","author":"Gould","year":"1997","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
