Abstract :
The design and early results of the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) are presented. The performance requirements imposed on the sensor to measure the low signals and to differentiate the optically complex spectra of the coastal ocean are discussed. It is shown the as-built sensor meets or exceeds the design parameters. Further, environmental products from early retrievals of the HICO imagery are presented.
