The coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) was a multi-channel scanning radiometer aboard the Nimbus 7 satellite, predominately designed for water remote sensing. Nimbus 7 was launched 24 October 1978, and CZCS became operational on 2 November 1978. It was only designed to operate for one year (as a proof-of-concept), but in fact remained in service until 22 June 1986. Its operation on board the Nimbus 7 was limited to alternate days as it shared its power with the passive microwave scanning multichannel microwave radiometer.

Il a été conçu pour fonctionner pendant un an (comme une preuve de concept), mais il est resté en service jusqu'au 22 juin 1986. Son fonctionnement à bord du Nimbus 7 était alternée avec le radiomètre microondes car ils partageaient la même énergie. (fr)

  • The coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) was a multi-channel scanning radiometer aboard the Nimbus 7 satellite, predominately designed for water remote sensing. Nimbus 7 was launched 24 October 1978, and CZCS became operational on 2 November 1978. It was only designed to operate for one year (as a proof-of-concept), but in fact remained in service until 22 June 1986. Its operation on board the Nimbus 7 was limited to alternate days as it shared its power with the passive microwave scanning multichannel microwave radiometer. CZCS measured reflected solar energy in six channels, at a resolution of 800 meters. These measurements were used to map chlorophyll concentration in water, sediment distribution, salinity, and the temperature of coastal waters and ocean currents. CZCS lay the foundations for subsequent satellite ocean color sensors, and formed a cornerstone for international efforts to understand the ocean's role in the carbon cycle. (en)

Son fonctionnement à bord du Nimbus 7 était alternée avec le radiomètre microondes car ils partageaient la même énergie. CZCS a mesuré l'énergie solaire réfléchie dans six canaux, à une résolution de 800 mètres. Ces données ont été utilisées pour faire la cartographie de la concentration en chlorophylle dans l'eau, la répartition des sédiments, la salinité et la température des eaux côtières et des courants océaniques. CZCS est le pionnier en matière de satellites océaniques à capteurs couleur, et constitue le fondement des efforts internationaux visant à comprendre le rôle des océans dans le cycle du carbone. (fr)
