Abstract:

The hope of coastal HyperSpectral Imaging HSI data is that it will provide the necessary data stream to simultaneously describe the atmospheric and water column optical properties. However, this goal is contingent sensitive and well calibrated instrumentation. Building upon the progress achieved in the calibration of PHILLS II hyperspectral instrument, we hypothesize that this data stream will provide the spectral and spatial resolution necessary to invert the calibrated remote sensing reflectance and water-leaving radiance to depth-distributed IOPs and optical constituents.
