15 5. Conclusions (1) 1. Atmospheric correction Good agreement in green-red bands General improvement with ICOL Deviations in very humic or high chl-a lakes 2. Water constituents Linear response, some over- and underestimations Acceptable errors at low concentration ranges Larger errors in turbid lakes

16 5. Conclusions (2) First Lake Water Processor for MERIS Available at Beam Visat processors for different water types (user decides) Flexible: Easy tuning for other water types possible
