| Summary: | This letter summarizes a regional assessment of radiometric data products from the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument operated onboard Sentinel-3A. The assessment is supported by in situ reference measurements from the Ocean Colour component of the Aerosol Robotic Network and the Bio-optical mapping of Marine Properties Program. Results indicate a systematic underestimate of the water-leaving radiance at the blue and red spectral bands. Conversely, the aerosol optical depth at 865 nm exhibits overestimate, while the Ångström exponent shows a narrow distribution of values confined below a maximum of approximately 1.7. These findings suggest difficulty in separating water and atmospheric radiance contributions, which results in a poor determination of aerosol load and type and, consequently, an overestimate of atmospheric effects.
