SISCAL uses state-of-the-art algorithms to derive water quality parameters from the signals measured at the top of the atmosphere. In order to ensure product compatibility, the channels of the different ocean colour instruments are mapped onto a common SeaWiFS-like channel set prior to application of the SISCAL standard evaluation algorithms.
