Description
Summary:This work evaluates the normalized water-leaving reflectance obtained from two atmospheric corrections built in the MEGS 8.0 processor applied to Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) marine data. In situ reference data for inter-comparisons with satellite derived reflectance products are from the Ocean Color component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET-OC). Case of study is the northern Adriatic Sea AERONET-OC site characterized by both Case-1 and Case-2 waters. Accuracy of MERIS pigments indices is also discussed in relation to uncertainties and biases in atmospherically corrected data. JRC.H.1 - Water Resources
