Revised approach revolutionises above-water method for measuring remote-sensing reflectance

29 June 2023

A new method to improve field measurements of remote sensing reflectance for satellite validation of ocean colour has been published by our Earth Observations and Science Applications team, as part of the AMT4CO2Flux project.

PML scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the field of ocean colour remote sensing with the development of a revised spectral optimisation approach to accurately estimate remote-sensing reflectance (Rrs) using the above-water method (AWA).

This innovative approach, detailed in a recently published scientific paper, allows for the removal of surface-reflected radiance, enhancing the precision and reliability of Rrs measurements.
