The Chinese Ocean Colour and Temperature Scanner (COCTS), Coastal Zone Imager (CZI) and the novel Ultra-Violet Imager (UVI) which on-board the Chinese Ocean Satellite HY-1C was launched in September 2018. The atmospheric correction of ocean color sensors was a critical step for accurate retrieval of the remote sensing reflectance, and the look-up-tables (LUTs), for the Rayleigh scattering, the aerosol scattering, and the diffuse transmittance, which were built bases on a Successive Order Scattering Vector Radiative Transfer Solver, played an important role in the processing step. Preliminary evaluation has been performed using the SeaWiFS LUTs and the MODIS data, it showed that COCTS can provide accurate ocean color products.
