New NECCTON Report on PRISMA Hyperspectral Data Released!
Our latest report, Deliverable 4.2, evaluates the potential of the PRISMA satellite for marine ecosystem monitoring. We assessed PRISMA’s Level 2 products and atmospheric correction techniques (ACOLITE & POLYMER) across multiple coastal sites, comparing them with in situ measurements.
🔹 Key Findings:
✅ POLYMER performed best, aligning well with AERONET-OC data
✅ ACOLITE showed overestimation but improved with glint correction
✅ PRISMA data, while still developing, show promise for marine applications
What’s next? We also explored early data from NASA’s new PACE mission, paving the way for future applications in NECCTON’s bio-optical modeling.
We’re excited to announce the release of fabmos, a Python-based software package developed within NECCTON. fabmos provides new biogeochemical/ecological model testbeds that bridge the gap between fast 0D/1D models and computationally expensive high-resolution 3D simulations....
