Ilmar Ansko presents on behalf of the FRM4SOC team on the important fiducial reference measurements they are making for satellite ocean colour. Community processor coming up #OOXXV

FRM4SOC at the 7-th Sentinel 3 Validation Team Meeting, 18 - 20 October 2022 at ESA-ESRIN. Aiming to provide S3VT easy procedures, guidelines and tools to collect FRM-quality in situ measurements and facilitate validations.

The first day of Project Workshop @EUMETSAT, Darmstadt has started. During the 3 days of the workshop, we present the most important outcomes from the FRM4SOC phase project and seek for agreement in the community through discussions.

The keynote speaker Dr Stewart Bernard from the South African National Space Agency is talking about the FRM resources and community needs. He emphasized that it is very important to have a discussion with the global FRM community.

Day 1 of the FRM4SOC Phase 2 Workshop at EUMETSAT is successfully finished. Valuable feedback from the community was gathered within the discussions. #calibration #characterization #FRMcommunity #fiducialreferencemeasurements #satelliteoceancolour

Day 2 of FRM4SOC Workshop started with a keynote speech by Dr Andrew C. Banks from #hcmr on user perspective suggestions. The best practice requires calibration of all sensors before and after each campaign.

Instrument cal/char database (FidRadDB #rbins), Community Processor (CP #acrist) and in situ measurement database (OCDB #brockmann) were introduced and discussed with the FRM community.

The last day of the FRM4SOC Workshop is dedicated to the discussions between the Expert Review Board, FRM4SOC-2 consortium and the FRM community.

The 3-day Workshop is wrapped up. Thank you #eumetsat, the community and experts for participating. We have gained valuable feedback and have a mission to provide clear guidelines and tools for the ocean colour community to ensure the FRM quality of measurement results.

Copernicus FRM4SOC-2024 training on In situ Ocean Colour Above-Water Radiometry towards Satellite Validation will kick off on Monday 6 May at CNR-ISMAR in Venice and nearby Acqua Alta Oceanographic Tower (AAOT) in the Adriatic Sea. frm4soc2.eumetsat.int/post/copernicu…

Welcome to Copernicus EU #FICE2024! Today FRM4SOC and EUMETSAT kick off this 2 week workshop which is designed to build the capacity to make FRM quality measurements for satellite ocean colour validation. I'm looking forward to joining the course in person soon!

Things I needed back when I was an ocean colour researcher - a community processor for radiometry! Dirk Aurin sharing HyperCP, a collaboration across agencies and the community Copernicus EU FRM4SOC #FICE2024

Today was the first day at Piattaforma CNR for a group of the Copernicus EU FRM4SOC trainees to see first hand how above water radiometry is performed

Aga with things I desperately needed 5+ years ago 🤣 Fantastic to see how far the community has come in supporting high quality data processing and uncertainty budgeting #FICE2024

Field trip to the AAOT tower off the coast of Venice to collect hyperspectral data for the FRM4SOC Copernicus EU training 🛰️🌊🛥️
