Zusammenfassung |
The accuracy of primary satellite ocean color data products from the Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on-board Aqua (MODIS-A) and the
Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is investigated in the
Western Black Sea using in situ measurements from the Gloria site included in
the ocean color component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET-OC). The
analysis is also extended to an additional well-established AERONET-OC site
in the northern Adriatic Sea characterized by optically complex coastal
waters exhibiting similarities to those observed at the Gloria site. Results
from the comparison of normalized water-leaving radiance LWN
indicate biases of a few percent between satellite-derived and in situ data
at the center wavelengths relevant for the determination of chlorophyll a
concentrations (443–547 nm, or equivalent). Remarkable is the consistency
between the annual cycle determined with time series of satellite-derived and
in situ LWN ratios at these center wavelengths. Contrarily, the
differences between in situ and satellite-derived LWN are
pronounced at the blue (i.e., 412 nm) and red (i.e., 667 nm, or equivalent)
center wavelengths, confirming difficulties in confidently applying
satellite-derived radiometric data from these spectral regions for
quantitative analysis in optically complex waters. |
