Welcome – Ewa Kwiatkowska
Session 1: Current status
VIS vcal site and source characterization, uncertainties
Vical application in ocean colour processing (NIR and VIS vcal, sites, sources, protocols, implementation in the processing chain)
- NASA (Bryan Franz)
- KOSC/KIOST (Seongick Cho)
- ISRO (Ashok Shukla)
- ESA (Constant Mazeran)
Remaining uncertainties
- Analysis of current biases among missions (Fred Melin)
- Impact of instrument calibration and instrument characterization, pre-launch and on-orbit (Gerhard Meister)
- Results from other statistical techniques (Bertrand Fougnie)
Session 2: NIR methodology and recommendations towards standardization
- NIR vcal methodology: black pixel assumption, atmospheric model, aerosol spectral slope, band assumptions (Jean-Paul Huot)
- SWIR vcal (Menghua Wang )
- Role of aerosol measurements (Ewa Kwiatkowska)
Session 3: VIS methodology and recommendations towards standardization
- Vcal requirements for OCR-VC, standardization, data policy (Menghua Wang)
- VIS vcal requirements on in situ data sources, site requirements, site selection, data quality (Giuseppe Zibordi)
- Vcal regional specifics (Seongick Cho )
Session 4: Operational mission needs
- Vcal requirements for operational services, how to achieve operational status early (Ewa Kwiatkowska)
- NIR vcal approach early in the mission: sites, data quality, targeted satellite acquisitions (Jean-Paul Huot)
- VIS vcal approach early in the mission: sites, data quality, targeted satellite acquisitions (Menghua Wang)
Session 5: Advancing as a community: vision for the future of vicarious calibration and international cooperation
- Funding and upgrading of existing vcal infrastructure (Ken Voss)
- Vision for the future of vcal, concepts for instrumentation, infrastructure, site locations (David Antoine)
- International cooperation, coordination, and data sharing (Seongick Cho, Ashok Shukla, Menghua Wang, Bryan Franz, Philippe)
The fourth International Ocean Colour Science (IOCS) meeting took place in Busan, South Korea from 9 to 12 April 2019, and was convened by the International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), in partnership with, and thanks to sponsorship from the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST).
