The accuracy of ocean color parameters depends on the atmospheric correction algorithm (AC). This processing consists of removing the contribution of the atmosphere from the total measured signal by the remote sensor at the top of the atmosphere. Five ACs: the baseline AC, the Case 2 regional coast color neural network AC, its alternative version, the Polymer AC, and the standard NASA AC, are inter-compared over two bio-optical contrasted French coastal waters. The retrieved water-leaving reflectances are compared with in situ ocean color radiometric measurements collected using an ASD FielSpec4 spectrometer. Statistical and spectral analysis were performed to assess the best-performing AC through individual (relative error (RE) at 412 nm ranging between 23.43 and 57.31%; root mean squared error (RMSE) at 412 nm ranging between 0.0077 and 0.0188) and common (RE(412 nm) = 24.15\u201350.07%; RMSE(412 nm) = 0.0081\u20130.0132) match-ups. The results suggest that the most efficient schemes are the alternative version of the Case 2 regional coast color neural network AC with RE(412 nm) = 33.52% and RMSE(412 nm) = 0.0101 for the individual and Polymer with RE(412 nm) = 24.15% and RMSE(412 nm) = 0.0081 for the common ACs match-ups. Sensitivity studies were performed to assess the limitations of the AC, and the errors of retrievals showed no trends when compared to the turbidity and CDOM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11060668","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,19]],"date-time":"2019-03-19T12:12:25Z","timestamp":1552997545000},"page":"668","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Evaluation of Five Atmospheric Correction Algorithms over French Optically-Complex Waters for the Sentinel-3A OLCI Ocean Color Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3841-7077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Mograne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Littoral C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, Universit\u00e9 Lille, CNRS, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6988-6506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e9dric","family":"Jamet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Littoral C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, Universit\u00e9 Lille, CNRS, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2905-6465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hubert","family":"Loisel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Littoral C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, Universit\u00e9 Lille, CNRS, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0495-5977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Vantrepotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Universit\u00e9 Lille, Universit\u00e9 Littoral Cote d\u2019Opale, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"},{"name":"CNRS Guyane, USR 3456, F 62930 Cayenne, Guyane Fran\u00e7aise, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xavier","family":"M\u00e9riaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Littoral C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, Universit\u00e9 Lille, CNRS, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arnaud","family":"Cauvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Universit\u00e9 Lille, Universit\u00e9 Littoral Cote d\u2019Opale, UMR 8187, LOG, Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, F 62930Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Crossland, C.J., Kremer, H.H., Lindeboom, H.J., Marshall Crossland, J.I., and Le Tissier, M.D.A.
