The Second Edition of the Copernicus FRM4SOC Training for in situ Ocean Colour Above-Water Radiometry towards Satellite Validation will be held in July 2025 in Venice and nearby Acqua Alta Oceanographic Tower (AAOT) in the Adriatic Sea.

The training was held at the Italian Research Council`s Institute of Marine Sciences and at the Acqua Alta Oceanographic Tower (AAOT) in the Adriatic Sea.

The FRM4SOC Phase 2 is the follow-up to the European Space Agency project (2016-2019) that continues expanding the Copernicus FRM capabilities and ensuring the adoption of FRM principles across the Ocean Colour (OC) community as outlined by the

Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) are a suite of independent, fully characterised, and metrologically traceable ground measurements that follow the guidelines outlined by the Quality Assurance Framework for Earth Observation (QA4EO) of the Committee on Earth Observa

At this workshop, we present the most important outcomes from the FRM4SOC phase project and seek for agreement in the community through discussions.

The absolute radiometric calibration comparisons will be implemented through a round-robin comparison of each participant’s irradiance and radiance calibration capability using ocean colour transfer radiometers.
