For satellite ocean color to be reliable and used in these and other important environmental applications, the data must be trustworthy and high quality. Pre-flight and on-board calibration of satellite ocean color sensors is conducted; however, once in orbit, the data quality can only be fully assessed via independent calibration and validation activities using surface measurements. These measurements therefore need to be at least as high quality as the satellite data, which necessitates SI traceability and a full uncertainty budget. This is the basis for fiducial reference measurements (FRMs) and the FRM4SOC project, which was an European Space Agency (ESA) initiative to establish and maintain SI-traceable ground-based FRM for satellite ocean color, thus providing a fundamental contribution to the European system for monitoring the Earth (Copernicus). This Special Issue of MDPI Remote Sensing is designed to showcase this essential Earth observation work through the publication of the project’s main achievements and results accompanied by other select relevant articles.Research & information: generalbicsscVIIRSSNPPNOAA-20DINEOFocean color datadata merginggap-fillingocean color radiometersradiometric calibrationindoor intercomparison measurementagreement between sensorsmeasurement uncertaintyfield intercomparison measurementHyperspectral reflectancevalidationautonomous measurementsground-truth datasystem designdownwelling irradiancesatellite validationFiducial Reference Measurementswater reflectancesatellitecalibrationsolar diffusorSDSMdesert trendlunar calibrationRVSMODISAquaocean colorwater-leaving radianceatmospheric correctionSentinel-3 OLCICopernicusocean coloursystem vicarious calibrationfiducial reference measurementLampedusaMOBYMarONetradiometryresearch infrastructureuncertainty budgetsatellite ocean colourfiducial reference measurements (FRM)calibration and validationSI traceability and uncertaintyEuropean Space Agency (ESA)Committee for Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS)fiducial reference measurementsSI-traceabilityMediterranean SeaBOUSSOLEMSEAhyper-temporal datasetoptical radiometrycoastal environmentobservation geometryremote sensing reflectanceocean colour radiometersTriOS RAMSESSeabird HyperSASfield intercomparisonAERONET-OCAcqua Alta Oceanographic Towerremote sensingspectral irradiance comparisonspectral radiance sources comparisonResearch & information: generalBanks Andrew Cliveedt1297579Lerebourg ChristopheedtRuddick KevinedtTilstone GavinedtVendt RihoedtBanks Andrew CliveothLerebourg ChristopheothRuddick KevinothTilstone GavinothVendt RihoothBOOK9910557797803321Fiducial Reference Measurements for Satellite Ocean Colour3024570UNINA
