Atmospheric correction over the ocean for hyperspectral radiometers using multi-angle polarimetric retrievals

We developed a fast and accurate polynomial based atmospheric correction (POLYAC) algorithm for hyperspectral radiometric measurements, which parameterizes the path radiances using aerosol properties retrieved from co-located multi-wavelength multi-angle polarimeter (MAP) measurements. This has been applied to spectrometer planetary exploration (SPEX) airborne research scanning (RSP) where SPEX was used as proxy of radiometers, RSP MAP. The remote sensing reflectance obtained POLYAC is when compared Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) ocean color products. provides robust alternative or multi-spectral measurements scenes involving coastal oceans and/or absorbing aerosols, traditional algorithms are less reliable.
