About
Marco Talone is a research scientist specializing in satellite ocean color remote sensing, optical radiometry, and the validation of satellite-derived marine data products. His work sits at the intersection of in situ measurement methodology and the calibration of spaceborne Earth observation systems, with a particular focus on ensuring the accuracy and reliability of ocean color radiometry for environmental and climate applications. Talone has made significant contributions to the Ocean Color Component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET-OC), co-authoring a widely recognized 2020 paper on advances in this globally distributed validation infrastructure, which has accumulated over 110 citations and stands as a cornerstone reference in the field. His research has addressed challenging measurement environments, including autonomous in situ radiometry in the Western Black Sea, and has extended to the assessment of Copernicus Sentinel-3's OLCI instruments across European seas. A notable methodological contribution involves correcting for non-nadir viewing geometry errors in above-water radiometry, improving measurement precision across diverse water types. More recently, he has tackled the emerging challenge of validating satellite-derived hyperspectral remote sensing reflectance using multispectral in situ data, and has advanced uncertainty quantification frameworks for satellite ocean color products — work increasingly critical as ocean color data enters climate data record applications.
