Meris Case-2 Regional Processor

This processor has been developed as a joint effort between GKSS Research Centre, Institute for Coastal Research, and Brockmann Consult, under contract of the European Space Agency ESA. Co-investigators in form of sub-contractors are the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and the Institute of Ocean Sciences (IOS), BC, Canada.

Task of the plugin under development is to produce Level 2 data from MERIS Level 1b data for regional coastal waters. This includes an algorithm for atmospheric correction and an algorithm to derive properties of the water such as the inherent optical properties (IOP's) absorption and scattering and the concentrations of total suspended matter (TSM) and chlorophyll from the water leaving radiance reflectance spectra (i.e. after atmospheric correction).
