Ensuring the reliability of satellite measurements of ocean colour in remote water sensing

Project homepage
ETIS homepage

Fiducial reference measurements for satellite ocean colour (FRM) is a project of European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

The main goal of this FRM4SOC phase-2 study is to ensure the adoption of FRM principles across the ocean colour community. This will be done through establishment of a network of radiometric measurements with the FRM certification. The phase-2 aim is to complete the required laboratory and field activities, which were started in phase-1, and to develop the tools, protocols, procedures and datasets needed to set up the network and demonstrate its operation.
