Abstract
The Plankton Aerosol Cloud ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) has completed the ground test program for its engineering unit (ETU) and testing of the flight unit will begin in the near future. OCI is a grating spectrometer with hyperspectral coverage from about 340 nm to 885 nm with 9 additional filtered channels in the SWIR. Two CCDs are used as detectors for the hyperspectral channels. One important operating mode of the CCDs on OCI is progressive time delay integration (or PTDI). In this mode, the charge in the CCD can be held for multiples of the nominal integration times. A series of these measurements can be made with progressively increasing multiples of the nominal integration time as the instrument scans across a uniform source. Ground testing with this operating mode on OCI ETU has shown promising results. This work will present measurements taken with the PTDI mode and the analysis of OCI ETU linearity and dynamic range.
