Abstract :
This letter discusses the normalized water-leaving reflectance obtained from two atmospheric corrections built in the MEGS 8.0 processor applied to the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) marine data. In situ reference data for intercomparisons with satellite-derived reflectance products are from the Ocean Color component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET-OC). Case of study is the northern Adriatic Sea AERONET-OC site characterized by both Case-1 and Case-2 waters. The accuracy of MERIS pigment indices is also discussed in relation to uncertainties and biases affecting atmospherically corrected data.
