Status Summary. –Data display small (~ 1 pixel) spatial displacement from laboratory calibration. –Some (< 1% of total) data contain dropped bands. –Pre and Post deployment laboratory wavelength calibrations agree, but differ slightly from flight data. –Derived reflectance has been compared with simultaneous ASD observations and are in reasonable agreement. –However, water pixels located next to bright land features display a rising reflectance at wavelengths greater than 0.7 microns. Reflectance below 0.7 microns appears to be minimally effected. –Latitude and longitude positional information available.

Quick-looks for both 2000 and 2001 PHILLS 1 data available on Code 7212 Web Site (rsd-www.nrl.navy.mil/7212). –JPEGS of each aircraft scan and maps of flight lines. –PowerPoint and Excel files displaying/listing planned scan coordinates.

12. 01/15/2003 #12 PHILLS 1 Products For each image sequence requested, the following products will be provided. –Radiance and/or Remote Sensing Reflectance (Rrs) data cube. –Band lines mask. –Positional (IGM) file for that data cube. –A land mask file will also be produced if an Rrs file is produced. We prefer to download data to the user’s FTP site. It may be possible for a user to download data from our site but NRL security requirements will need to be met. We can make CDs of SMALL data sets. Products will be produced with the best available information available at the time but will require user feedback to help identify, quantify and remove any remaining or newly discovered systematic effects. To request this data contact Bill Snyder (202) 404-1376, or snyder@rsd.nrl.navy.mil

Snyder, W. Joe Rhea, Wei Chen Naval Research Laboratory, Code 7212, 4555 Overlook Ave. S. W., Washington, D.

Paul Bissett Florida Environmental Research Institute, 4807 Bayshore Blvd., Tampa, FL 33611 pbissett@flenvironmental.org Robert Alan Reisse Science Inquiries, Inc., 312 Patleigh Road, Catonsville, MD 21228 Abstract: The Ocean Portable Hyperspectral Imager for Low-Light Spectroscopy (Ocean PHILLS) is a hyperspectral imager specifically designed for imaging the coastal ocean. It uses a thinned, backside- illuminated CCD for high sensitivity and an all-reflective spectrograph with a convex grating in an Offner configuration to produce a nearly distortion-free image. The sensor, which was constructed entirely from commercially available components, has been successfully deployed during several oceanographic experiments in 1999-2001. Here we describe the instrument design and present the results of laboratory characterization and calibration. We also present examples of remote-sensing reflectance data obtained from the LEO-15 site in New Jersey that agrees well with ground-truth measurements. ©2002 Optical Society of America, Optics Express, 10(4): 210-221, 2002.
