An analysis was made for “a ghost like image defect”which was found in the specific OCTS (Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner onboard ADEOS: Advanced Earth Observing Satellite) data. It is found that the influences of the defect is around 10 [%] in terms of the radiance of the surrounding normal pixels. It is also found that the most possible reason for this is caused by the beam splitter No. 2 of OCTS optics. Due to the fact that the defect of OCTS band 7 is occurred at almost same location compared to the defect of band 8 while those of band 6 and 8 are occurred at a different location so that it is better to use the ratio of the upwelling radiance of aerosol particles between bands 7 and 8 rather than bands 6 and 8, the effectiveness of the aerosol model estimation of the bands 6 and 8 is better than that of bands 7 and 8 though.
