Description
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. HICO
demonstrates coastal products including water clarity, bottom types, bathymetry and
on-shore vegetation maps. Each year HICO collects approximately 2000 scenes from around
the world. The current focus is on providing HICO data for scientific research on
coastal zones and other regions around the world.
