    Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI, / ɡɔːθi / ), is the world's first geostationary orbit satellite image sensor in order to observe or monitor an ocean-color around the Korean Peninsula [1] [2]. The spatial resolution of GOCI is about 500m and the range of target area is about 2,500 km×2,500 km centered on Korean Peninsula.

    Noctilucent clouds (NLCs), or night shining clouds, [ 1] are tenuous cloud -like phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Earth. When viewed from space, they are called polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs), detectable as a diffuse scattering layer of water ice crystals near the summer polar mesopause. They consist of ice crystals and from the ground are ...
