Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean

The Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) is a specialized satellite-borne imaging system designed to capture hyperspectral images of coastal and oceanic environments. It was developed to provide high-resolution spectral data across a wide range of wavelengths, which can be particularly useful for monitoring and studying various aspects of coastal ecosystems, marine biology, and oceanographic processes. HICO operates in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, collecting data at hundreds of different wavelengths simultaneously.
