Focal  Plane Array for Coastal & Inland Water Colour Hyperspectral Imager — Current  operational ocean colour imagers do not provide accurate information in the  last few kilometers next to the shore of medium- to small-size water bodies. The proposed hyperspectral imager will result in  an advanced sensor chip that will optimize focal plane array, allowing water  colour retrieval along coastlines of medium to small bodies of water and enabling  the sensing of over 10 million additional water bodies worldwide. The  technology will feature a narrower sampling interval and reduced integration  time in order to maximize image quality. The technology is being developed as  part of a future Canadian water colour satellite or ocean colour mission.
