Intense near-shore bloom observed by Sentinel-2A/MSI in Belgian waters (red-edge Chl-a absorption – see Vanhellemont & Ruddick 2017) Sentinel-2 sees many new processes e.g. for EU Water Framework Directive monitoring But the quality and usability of all these products depends on "level 2" water reflectance validation Chlorophyll a (µg/l) 0 100

WATERHYPERNET/PANTHYR Site 2/3 Blue Accelerator Platform outside Oostende harbour (2019-11-14 to 2020-08 = 9 months) – VLIZ/POM collaboration for installation and operation – Turbid, tidal, eutrophic, port outflow Planetscope 2020-05-05 10:31UTC • Robust 9-months functioning • Used for validation of S2, S3, L8, Doves • Awaiting redeployment 1km
WATERHYPERNET/PANTHYR Site 3/3 Blankaart drinking water reservoir – De Watergroep site manager – Very strong adjacency effects => useful target for atmospheric correction – Short deployments in 2019, longer deployment end-May 2020 w camera – Cannot yet deploy in reservoir centre - pending construction of safety rail Maintenance visit 2020-08 (3 months) • Water ingress problem ... • Pending redeployment ~800m diameter, drinking water reservoir De Watergroep

CONCLUSIONS WATERHYPERNET network of automatically pointed hyperspectral radiometers is ideal for S2 water reflectance validation: – Many matchups/year for each site (one image => one matchup) – All VIS/NIR bands without "band-shifting" uncertainties – Economy of scale (used also for S3, L8, PlanetDoves, VIIRS, etc. etc.) First 2 WATERHYPERNET sites (Aqua Alta, Oostende) successfully operating for many months: – very robust system design, mature radiometer WATERHYPERNET 2021-22: – Deployment of more systems (target 10 sites in 2022) – Measurement uncertainty analysis (cf. FRM4SOC-2 project) – Exploitation of multi-azimuth and multi-zenith pointing capability Feedback to S2 mission: – ACOLITE/DSF atmospheric correction functioning well – SWIR band calibration needs improvement? – Impact of reference F0 for SWIR?
