HICO  

Definition

  • The Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO™) is an imaging spectrometer based on the PHILLS airborne imaging spectrometers. HICO is the first spaceborne imaging spectrometer designed to sample the coastal ocean. HICO samples selected coastal regions at 90 m with full spectral coverage (380 to 960 nm sampled at 5.7 nm) and a very high signal-to-noise ratio to resolve the complexity of the coastal ocean. As a demonstration instrument, HICO was designed to collect only one 50 x 200 km scene per orbit. The regions to be collected were determined weekly by a scheduling team. The focus was on providing HICO data for scientific research on coastal zones and other regions around the world. HICO demonstrates coastal products including water clarity, bottom types, bathymetry and on-shore vegetation maps. During its five years in operation HICO collected over 10,000 scenes from around the world. (en)
