Understanding the ocean color variability in a complex coastal environmental influenced by estuarine plume

Abstract

NRL built the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) sensor to be flown on the International Space Station. The sensor collects 128 different wavelengths was developed to capture the complicated characteristics of coastal areas, which have higher levels of variability thanks to runoff, algae blooms, etc. One challenge for the sensor is to calibrate it against coastal areas around the world
