About

Christopher A. Proctor is a leading figure in ocean color remote sensing, with a primary focus on atmospheric correction for hyperspectral imagery. His most influential work, the 2017 paper "Atmospheric correction for hyperspectral ocean color retrieval with application to the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO)," has garnered 119 citations, establishing a foundational method for extracting accurate water-leaving radiance from satellite data. Proctor’s contributions are pivotal in advancing the retrieval of ocean color products, particularly in complex coastal environments where traditional algorithms fail. By refining correction techniques for the HICO sensor, he enabled more precise monitoring of phytoplankton, water quality, and benthic habitats. His research bridges the gap between sensor technology and environmental application, providing critical tools for studying marine ecosystems. Proctor’s work is widely cited in oceanography and remote sensing communities, underscoring its impact on both scientific understanding and operational monitoring. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to improving the accuracy and utility of hyperspectral data for global ocean science.
