Determination of the Downwelling Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient of Lake Water with the Sentinel-3A OLCI [PDF]
The Ocean and Land Color Imager (OLCI) on the Sentinel-3A satellite, which was launched by the European Space Agency in 2016, is a new-generation water color sensor with a spatial resolution of 300 m and 21 bands in the range of 400–1020 nm.

OLCI-A/B tandem phase: evaluation of FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX)-like radiances and estimation of systematic differences between OLCI-A and OLCI-FLEX [PDF]
During the tandem phase of Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B in summer 2018 the Ocean and Land Colour Imager (OLCI) mounted on the Sentinel-3B satellite was reprogrammed to mimics ESA's eighth Earth Explorer, the FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX).

Sea Ice Extent Detection in the Bohai Sea Using Sentinel-3 OLCI Data
Sea ice distribution is an important indicator of ice conditions and regional climate change in the Bohai Sea (China). In this study, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution of the Bohai Sea ice in the winter of 2017−2018 by developing sea ice

River Flow Monitoring by Sentinel-3 OLCI and MODIS: Comparison and Combination [PDF]
The monitoring of rivers by satellite is an up-to-date subject in hydrological studies as confirmed by the interest of space agencies to finance specific missions that respond to the quantification of surface water flows. We address the problem by using multi-spectral sensors, in the near-infrared (NIR) band, correlating the reflectance ratio between a

In situ evidence of non-zero reflectance in the OLCI 1020 nm band for a turbid estuary
Abstract A spectroradiometer able to measure up to 2500 nm has been used to measure the reflectance for the Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI) 1020 nm band. In July and October 2010 two measurement campaigns were organized at the Scheldt river to collect reflectance spectra and corresponding Total Suspended Matter (TSM) concentration and ...

Development of VIIRS-OLCI chlorophyll-a product for the coastal estuaries
Coastal waters require monitoring of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) in a wide range of Chl-a from a few mg/m3 to hundreds of mg/m3, which is of interest to the fisheries industry, evaluation of climate change effects, ecological modeling and detection of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
