A new hyperspectral radiometer integrated in automated networks of water and land bidirectional reflectance measurements for satellite validation

Networking of automated instruments on unmanned platforms has proved to be the most effective way to provide validation data for Copernicus optical missions. The re-use of data from each site for many optical missions (S2, S3, PROBA-V, MODIS, VIIRS, L8, Pléiades, ENMAP, PRISMA, SABIAMAR,etc.) gives a huge economy of scale. The existing networks (e.g. AERONET-OC, […]
