Ship trails in the Bay of Biscay observed using PROBA-V imagery
Ship trails have been perceived as convincing evidence of aerosol-cloud interaction. Ship emissions have been proven to contribute by about 1.9% and 2.9% to the increase in the global total and fine-mode aerosol optical thickness (AOT) respectively over a five year period (Peters et al. 20212).

Satellites investigate Earth’s terrestrial hydrosphere
ESA’s Earth observation satellites are playing a leading role in furthering our understanding of how Earth’s water cycle is being influenced by humankind.

Satellite data central to ocean monitoring
Over 95% of Earth’s water is found in our oceans, and yet sadly, oceans are under stress from climate change and pollution. Monitoring our oceans is vital for Earth’s survival and satellites are the primary means of long-term and independent observation of our vast ocean bodies and their associated coastal zones.

Satellite data boost global understanding of land surface
Understanding our changing land surface is essential in the study of climate change. Satellites are used to monitor changes to the material that covers Earth’s surface, so-called land cover, such as vegetation and water.

This is the second version (V2) of the Validation Report for the PV-LAC coastal activities.
Document - General Reference
PV-LAC-COAST-SR-v1.1.pdf
In the frame of the PV-LAC project a prototype code has been developed, tested and validated for the atmospheric correction (A/C) and turbidity retrieval of PROBA-V data over turbid coastal areas.
Document - General Reference
PV-LAC-COAST-RBD-v1-1.pdf
The aim of this document is to make a critical review of the algorithms for TSM retrieval and atmospheric correction in turbid coastal waters, to identify the most suitable method (TSM and A/C method) for PROBA-V, to define the validation approach (including identification of the validation data and test sites) and to assess the utility and benefits of 100m coastal products through interaction with the user community.
