Creation of High Resolution Suspended Particulate Matter Data in the North Sea From Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 Data

A combined Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 Suspended Particulate Matter reconstruction is performed using an Empirical Orthogonal Function technique, called DINEOF (Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Functions). The combination of these two datasets allows us to retain both the high spatial resolution of the Sentinel-2 data while increasing the temporal resolution thanks to the addition of Sentinel-3 data on days when no Sentinel-2 data are available. Results show an increased variability on the reconstruction of Sentinel-3 data, and a low error of the overall reconstruction.
