Maintenance and Update Frequency: continual Statement: In order to extend the footprint of the Calibration and Validation activities of remotely-sensed satellite ocean colour products carried out at LJCO, two spectroradiometers will be installed on ships of opportunity to acquire continuous measurements of the water leaving radiance in the Australian sector of the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. Given the need for daily maintenance activities and trouble-shooting for the radiometers, these instruments will be installed on board of research vessels (Aurora Australis, Solander, Southern Surveyor and/or the new MNF vessel). The provisioning of SOOP-Radiometers data stream will involve: -Acquire first radiometer: the instrument selection and setup will be designed and procured following advice from US and EU Arctic going community. -Demonstrate data stream using LJCO as a platform. -Preparation towards installation of radiometers on the two vessels. Assistance by the SOOP facility leadership will be sought for facilitating access and installation of radiometers on board of the research vessels. 21 Once commissioned, the radiometry data stream from two vessels will be uploaded in delayed mode to IMOS and to the bio-optical data base for match-up analysis with remote sensing imagery.

It is operated by a consortium of institutions as an unincorporated joint venture, with the University of Tasmania as Lead Agent.

It contains three Zeiss UV-Vis enhanced spectroradiometers designed to measure near-simultaneous spectral upwelling radiance (Lu), downwelling radiance (Lsky) and ...
