Abstract of the project
The continuous technological evolution of the Space Segment increases the applicative potential of Earth Observation: this stimulates the scientific community to develop methodologies for the extraction of geophysical parameters, suitable for new technologies, which are able to improve the accuracy values of the products, therefore to deepen the knowledge of the phenomena and processes that occur in the various environmental and ecological contexts.
The proposal aims to verify the potential of a tool such as PRISMA for the improvement of standard products and for the development of value-added products using innovative methodologies. In this way we fully respond to the growing need to have accurate quantitative measurements of geophysical parameters, with reference to the indications of EU regulations and the needs of privileged users (Civil Protection, Ministry of the Environment, regional ARPA, etc.).
The project aims to address the complexity and optical variability of coastal and inland waters and their problems with a physically-based approach in order to improve the quality of the EO product. Integration with field activities is necessary, as a source of calibration data and validation of EO data and products.

The scientific proposal CLAM-PHYM - Coasts and Lake Assessment and Monitoring by PRISMA Hyperspectral Mission intends to meet the objectives required by the Call for tender "Scientific studies in support of the PRISMA mission" Prot. No. 0006631 of 28/07/2009 of the Space Agency Italiana and has as its objectives:
deepen applied research issues related to the objectives of the PRISMA mission (task 1);
support ASI for all aspects of a scientific nature relating to the planning and development of the mission itself (task 2).
