Atmospheric correction of OLCI imagery over very turbid waters based on the RED/NIR/SWIR bands

The standard NASA atmospheric correction using near infrared bands (700 nm-900 nm) may work for clear to moderately turbid waters, but generally fails for extreme turbidities because of flattening of the water reflectance spectrum. The use of SWIR bands at 1.6 μm and/or 2.3 μm, such as the bands pre...

The use of SWIR bands at 1.6 μm and/or 2.3 μm, such as the bands present on MODIS, can be effective in extremely turbid waters, but may not be present, such as in the case of OLCI (Sentinel 3A), where a new SWIR band at 1016 nm is placed instead.

We found that if we choose certain spectrally-close band triplets (such as OLCI bands at 709-779-865 nm), the Rayleigh-corrected reflectance of the triplet's 'middle' band after baseline subtraction (or baseline residual, BLR) is essentially independent of the atmospheric conditions (including for very hazy scenes).

To establish this relation, we used a simple water reflectance model for turbid scenarios where we varied backscattering and absorption properties according to previously reported values and the spectral behaviour of in-situ radiometric data from Río de la Plata (Argentina). We also tested the algorithm on a simulated dataset, obtaining good performances (almost 1:1 relation and R2 ≥ 97%) for scenarios without direct sunglint. © 2017 Comisión Permanente RPIC.
