Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 26/07/2010.

Scientific objectives:

1 Development of a reliable tool to estimate coastal water quality indicators by using remote sensing techniques, both airborne and satellite.

1.1. Development of a set of semi-empirical algorithms based on hyperspectral airborne and in-situ data for estimating the concentrations of the water constituents; 1.2. Migration of the developed algorithms into the satellite workflow.

2. Implementation of an automatic warning system based on satellite imagery processing;

3. Inclusion of the information obtained by means of remote sensing in the dataset used for the calibration of regional hydrodynamic models.

Priority: a4m - awaiting confirmation

Sensors: ¶

• Eagle (21/12/2010)
• Hawk (02/02/2011)
• Leica LIDAR (21/12/2010)
• RCD Digital Photography (21/12/2010)

On examination, the Hawk spectral calibration appears to have shifted between 2009 and 2010. However, when processing using the new, shifted calibration, we see absorption features misplaced by the same amount as the shift.

This implies the spectral calibration is incorrect.
