New NECCTON Report on PRISMA Hyperspectral Data Released!

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.
