The Case 2 Regional CoastColour (C2RCC) atmospheric correction
is a full spectrum version using a set of neural networks which are
trained on simulated top-of-atmosphere reflectance. The raditiave
transfer simulations include the full ocean and atmosphere system,
i.e. a specific water model is included in the simulations. C2RCC
is used to generate the Case 2 water products in Sentinel 3 OLCI
standard ESA products, as well as in the upcoming MERIS 4th
Reprocessing. Products generated are the inherent optical
properties (IOPs), absorption and scattering of the different
constituents; the three major optically relevant concentrations,
i.e. phytoplankton pigments, total suspended matter and yellow
substance; and their related uncertainties.
It supports several sensors: starting from Sentinel-3 OLCI over
Sentinel-2 MSI to Landsat-8 OLI and the heritage sensor MERIS, both
in 3rd and 4th reprocessing versions. MODIS, VIIRS and SeaWiFS are
supported as well.
