14 Conclusions SEVIRI w MODIS w SEVIRI MODIS Good correspondence between SEVIRI and MODIS marine reflectance Large uncertainties in clear water (digitization) and in very turbid waters (atmospheric correction) On cloudfree days: SEVIRI detects tidal variability of T and K d in turbid SNS waters Available for the first time from space Applications in ecosystem models, sediment transport modeling, monitoring of T Days with moving clouds: significant increase in data availability, compared to polar-orbiters Extension of atmospheric correction methodology to full SEVIRI disk or other meteorological sensors
