From the Satellite to the Earth's Surface: Studies Relevant to NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystems (PACE) Mission
Earth’s atmosphere and oceans play individual and interconnected roles in regulating climate and the hydrological system, supporting organisms and ecosystems, and contributing to the well-being of human communities and economies. Recognizing the importance of these two geophysical fluids, NASA designed the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud and ocean Ecosystems (PACE) mission to bring cutting edge technology to space borne measurements of the atmosphere and ocean. PACE will carry the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a radiometer with hyperspectral capability from the ultraviolet through the near-infrared, plus eight discreet shortwave infrared bands. Thus, OCI will measure the broadest solar spectrum o...
Optical Radiometry and Satellite Validation
Strict quality control is essential to ensure that the satellite data products routinely used for environmental monitoring of water and land surfaces are fit for purpose. A crucial step in this process is the validation of the water and land surface reflectances, from which the final end-user products are derived. The topic of radiometric validation is growing rapidly in importance both because of the advent of operational satellite missions for routine environmental monitoring and because of the rapid expansion in the number of satellite missions, including CubeSat constellations with limited cal/val resources. This enhanced need for radiometric validation data covering a wide VIS/NIR/SWIR range (e.g. 380-2400nm), preferably with a hyperspectral resolution, must be met by new techniques and hardware, particularly ground-based automated radiometry.
