Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) reaching the ocean surface is defined as the quantum energy flux from the Sun in the spectral range 400-700 nm; units are Einstein/m2/day. PAR is essential ...

The purpose of this ATBD is to define the approach to white cap correction that could be applied to OLCI.

This document aims at providing a comprehensive description of the OLCI instrument's spectral characteristics and their potential impact on algorithms likely to expect data acquired at a constant w ...

This ATBD discusses the potential approaches to correct sun glint for OLCI. The amount of sun glint will be reduced as compared to MERIS; the field-of-view (FOV) is tilted to reduce the sun-glint p ...

This ATBD describes a procedure to derive the bi-directional water leaving radiance reflectances (RL_w) from top of atmosphere (TOA) radiance reflectance spectra RL_toa (L1b data) of the Ocean Land ...
