    Area of Science:

    • Oceanography
    • Biogeochemistry
    • Optical Oceanography

    Background:

    • In situ spectral reflectance from underwater hyperspectral imaging (UHI) is valuable for oceanic studies.
    • Calibration challenges limit the use of UHI-measured spectral radiance as an absolute quantity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calibrate a commercial UHI instrument for radiometric flat field response and pixelwise immersion effect.
    • To enable in situ measurement of absolute spectral radiance using UHI.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiometric and immersion factor calibrations were performed on a UHI instrument.
    • Comparative experiments with a spectroradiometer and spectrometer validated the calibrations.
    • Calibrated UHI data was used to calculate spectral radiance through Arctic sea ice algae.

    Main Results:

    • The immersion factor for the UHI's center pixel in pure water at 600 nm was determined to be 1.763.
    • The difference in immersion factor between center and edge pixels was minimal (1-3%) across the field of view.
    • Successfully calculated spectral radiance of transmitted sunlight through ice algae.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed calibration method enhances the accuracy of UHI for absolute spectral radiance measurements.
    • This improved calibration is crucial for detailed bio-optical surveys and biogeochemical analysis in marine environments.
    • The findings pave the way for more quantitative applications of UHI in polar research.
