The Gobabeb site is located next to the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre in Namibia. This desert research station lies in the Namib Desert at the confluence of three distinct ecosystems: the Namib Sand Sea, the gravel plains, and the Kuiseb River. The site hosts several instruments to characterise the surface reflectance and atmospheric properties. It is part of several networks such as AERONET, HYPERNETS Namibia (GHNA) or a radiometric calibration site (GONA) as part of the RadCalNet network (Bialek et al., 2016)
Three Use Cases will be implemented to prototype this pre-operational DestnE service.
Synthetic satellite observations for ACIX-IV
The Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX) is an international initiative with the aim to analyse the Surface Reflectance (SR) products of various state-of-the-art atmospheric correction (AC) processors. The Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) and Water Vapour (WV) are also examined in ACIX as additional outputs of AC processing. The ACIX initiative went already through 3 phases and it now starting the fourth one.
