Assessment of OLCI-A derived Aquatic Optical Properties across European seas
Marine data products from the Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI-A), operated onboard the Copernicus Sentinel 3A satellite, were assessed using in situ reference measurements representative of various European Seas. Results from the evaluation of inherent optical properties indicated substantial accuracy for the satellite derived absorption coefficient of pigmented particles aph(𝝀)-OLCI-A, the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance Kd(𝝀)-OLCI-A and the back-scattering coefficient of marine particles bbp(𝝀)-OLCI-A. Conversely, large underestimates were shown for the absorption coefficient of non-water constituents anw(𝝀)-OLCI-A and the cumulative absorption coefficient of colored dissolved organic matter and of non-pigmented particles adg(𝝀)-OLCI-A.
