Summary:
The objective of the study, funded by the European Commission, is to generate a complete scientific, technical and operational requirements document that can be used as a traceable reference for all steps and aspects of an Ocean Colour System Vicarious Calibration (OC-SVC) infrastructure development and operations for the Copernicus Programme. This infrastructure shall be able to provide the highest quality ground-truth measurements for System Vicariously Calibratione of Copernicus missions. The measurements shall allow the retrieval of accurate water-leaving radiances, as part of the Level 2 Ocean Colour products, and contribute to the understanding of the uncertainties of the other OC Level 2 parameters. The objective is to establish SI (International System of Units) traceability for Copernicus Ocean Colour products and services. These requirements form the basis for OC-SVC development as an inherent and sustained operational component of the Copernicus Programme.
