Colorful dissolved material

Hello,
Among the Sentinel-3 data there is the concentration of phytoplankton and the concentration of suspended particles. My question is whether it is possible to specifically extract the concentration of colorful dissolved matter (CDOM)

Hi Marco,

Concerning the retrieval of CDOM absorption, several band ratios have been proposed as predictive models for estimating CDOM from spectral data. Important wavelength regions for the band ratio algorithms for CDOM retrieval are the ones between 400–600 nm, having 660–720 nm as reference.

Another possibility is to use the C2RCC processor, where iop_agelb is used as a proxy for CDOM.
