🌊 The ongoing ISSI Forum brings experts together to explore a global in-situ lidar network for validating ocean colour missions—including future lidar-based ones like LUCE (launch 2032).

A key step toward unlocking vertical ocean optics from space.

Huge thanks to David McKee (UofStrathclyde) for visiting us last week in #Umeå!
With a seminar on #OceanColour at #UMF & a keynote at #KBCDays on light in the Arctic polar night he was kept busy!
Looking forward to progressing all our ideas for future collaboration!
