The study presents an analysis of variability of optical properties of the atmosphere and hydrooptical characteristics of the mineral dust transfer episode over the Sea of Japan in the period of April 13–21, 2023, according to satellite and in situ data. During statistical processing of OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) satellite data for the central and northeastern part of the Sea of Japan, it was found that on the days of the dust storm, the chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentration increased sharply (3–4 times) to 4.47–5.23 mg•m-3, which was an obvious consequence of atmospheric correction error, since even if mineral dust does induce an increase in Chl-a concentration, this effect cannot occur instantly. Further, when analyzing the statistical distribution of remote sensing reflectance for the dates under study, negative or anomaly low values were found in the short-wave region of the spectrum. In an additional analysis of the results of atmospheric correction on the studied dates, it was found that the course of the power function of the atmospheric correction error compared to the nearest clear day is well described by a function of the form l-5.5, which in future can be used as a basis for a new regional algorithm of atmospheric correction.
Keywords: mineral dust, Sea of Japan, Chl-a concentration, atmospheric correction, sea spectral radiance coefficient, OLCI, AERONET
