| Popis: | International audience; In-situ high quality measurements of radiometric quantities are mandatory to enable a "system vicarious calibration" (SVC) of satellite sensors dedicated to Ocean Color Radiometry (OCR) as well as to validate their derived products. High density of acquisition is particularly critical during the early stages of an OCR satellite activity. The ProVal float measures downward irradiance and upwelling radiance at seven wavelengths on two arms that allow radiometer redundancy and shading mitigation. We analyzed more than 500 profiles sampled in the Southern Ocean and Mediterranean Sea to date. We find that 45% and 85% of data in the surface layer exhibit tilts lower than 10°in the Southern Ocean and Mediterranean Sea respectively. Floats deployed in the Mediterranean Sea were recovered allowing post-deployment calibrations of radiometers that confirmed the low sensor drift. In addition, platform shading, estimated from the difference between the two radiometers, shows good agreement with Monte-Carlo simulations. Finally, comparisons of Remote Sensing Reflectance with the OLCI sensor (Sentinel-3A) show results in agreement with other sources of in-situ data but with extended coverage capabilities. |
