AERONET-OC: Gloria Istanbul, November Giuseppe Zibordi

1.Traceable (with defined uncertainties quantified, when appropriate, through reference standards); 2.Globally distributed (ideally representing the wide range of geophysical conditions that remote sensing products are expected to observe); 3.Continuous (time-series of quality assured data are fundamental for assessing remote sensing products from successive space missions); 4.Cross-site consistent (uncertainties should be likely the same for all measurement sites and measurement conditions); 5.Accessible (availability through suitable data policies, is a key element for any cal/val program). Requirements for field data supporting cal/val programs

AERONET – Ocean Color is a sub-network of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), relying on modified sun-photometers to support ocean color validation activities with highly consistent time-series of L WN ( ) and  a ( ). G.Zibordi et al. A Network for Standardized Ocean Color Validation Measurements. Eos Transactions, 87: 293, 297, AERONET-OC Autonomous radiometers operated on fixed platforms in coastal regions; Identical measuring systems and protocols, sensor calibrated using a single reference source and method, and data processed with the same code; Standardized products of normalized water-leaving radiance and aerosol optical thickness. Rationale:

1.Calibration service performed by JRC (from 2002 to 2008) and GSFC (from 2009) for above-water radiometric measurements (comparisons between JRC and NASA have shown differences on average below 2%). 2.SeaPRISMs operated from fixed deployment platforms. 3.Meteorological satellites (i.e., METEOSAT, GOES) or computers. 4.AERONET-OC data handling system (part of AERONET). 5.Marine and atmospheric QA products (i.e., L WN and  a ( ) at the 412, 443, 488, 531, 551, 667, 870 and 1020 nm nominal center-wavelengths). 6.Products accessibility through internet with a specified data policy.

AERONET-OC (2002-present) NASA manages the network infrastructure (i.e., handles the instruments calibration and, data collection, processing and distribution within AERONET). JRC has the scientific responsibility of the processing algorithms and performs the quality assurance of data products. PIs establish and maintain individual AERONET-OC sites.
