We had to offset the ALI image by 90 m in X and 960 m in Y in order co co-register the ALI image with the HYPERION image
The calibration of the ALI image uses only the the footprint of the HYPERION image
The bottom typing training sites used for the HYPERION image were also used unchanged for the ALI image

	Blue watersAverage depth at training sites each training site is comprised of 50 to 200 pixels ALI calibration yields slightly under-estimated depths in comparison with HYPERION calibration Deeper than ~3-5 m, ALI depths are based on the green band Band 1 at 443 nm is a most valuable addition to the ETM BGRNir bandset a yellow band at ~600 nm would be valuable too Pre-processing For marine applications, the four stripes of the ALI image should be balanced by the pre-processing so that they are balanced over optically deep deep waters see EO1A0150432002299110KY_profile_noise
