Abstract:
We present a dataset that combines marine reflectance spectra and several standard L2 products from MERIS and MODIS, with turbidity (T), Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) at different depths, and fluorescence (F) from three autonomous buoys (CEFAS Smartbuoys) located in turbid coastal waters of the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Our dataset contains several hundreds of matchups between in situ and satellite, and is a powerful benchmarking tool for validating satellite products and retrieval algorithms for turbidity and PAR attenuation.
