Both the radiometers and USV are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products, with the latter being only minimally modified to deploy the C-PHIRE instruments. The hybridspectral C-PHIRE instruments consist of an array of 18 multispectral microradiometers with 10 nm wavebands spanning 320\u2013875 nm plus a hyperspectral compact grating spectrometer (CGS) with 2048 pixels spanning 190\u20131000 nm. The C-PHIRE data were acquired and processed using two architecturally linked software packages, thereby allowing lessons learned in one to be applied to the other. Using standard data products and unbiased statistics, the C-PHIRE data were validated with those from the well-established compact-optical profiling system (C-OPS) and verified with the marine optical buoy (MOBY). Agreement between algorithm variables used to estimate colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption and chlorophyll a concentration were also validated. Developing and operating novel technologies, such as the C-PHIRE series of instruments, deployed on a USV increase the frequency and coverage of optical observations, which are required to fully support the present and next-generation validation exercises in radiometric remote sensing of aquatic ecosystems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14051084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]],"date-time":"2022-02-24T00:53:26Z","timestamp":1645664006000},"page":"1084","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Verification and Validation of Hybridspectral Radiometry Obtained from an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) in the Open and Coastal Oceans"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Stanford B.","family":"Hooker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5848-5440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henry F.","family":"Houskeeper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"given":"Randall N.","family":"Lind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biospherical Instruments Inc., San Diego, CA 92110, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8640-1205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raphael M.","family":"Kudela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean Sciences Department, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5354-1044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Koji","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.1029\/93EO00945","article-title":"An overview of the SeaWiFS project","volume":"74","author":"Hooker","year":"1993","journal-title":"Eos Trans.
