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).

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.

ResourceSat-2 full archive and tasking
ResourceSat-2 (also known as IRS-R2) archive and tasking products are available as below: Sensor Type Resolution (m) Coverage (km x km) System or radiometrically corrected Ortho corrected (DN) Ortho corrected (TOA reflectance) Neustralitz archive Global archive LISS-IV Mono-Chromatic 5 70 x 70 X X 2014 – 2011 - LISS-III Multi-spectral 20 140 x 140 X X X AWiFS Multi-spectral 60 370 x 370 X X X Note: LISS-IV: Mono-Chromatic, the band is selectable. In practice the red is used. For LISS-IV MN and LISS-III ortho corrected: If unavailable, user has to supply ground control information and DEM in suitable quality. For AWiFS ortho corrected: service based on in house available ground control information and DEM. The products are available as part of the GAF Imagery products from the Indian missions: IRS-1C, IRS-1D, CartoSat-1 (IRS-P5), ResourceSat-1 (IRS-P6) and ResourceSat-2 (IRS-R2) missions. 'ResourceSat-2 archive and tasking' collection has worldwide coverage: for data acquired over Neustrelitz footprint, the users can browse the EOWEB GeoPortal catalogue to search archived products; worldwide data (out the Neustrelitz footprint) can be requested by contacting GAF user support to check the readiness since no catalogue is not available. All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability.

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.

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.
