3 General uncertain/es of Case 2 water remote sensing using inverse modelling We have an under determined system, i.e. informa:on content of TOA spectra is less than the number of variables, which determine the spectra Our bio-op:cal model has to reduce the natural variability to a few components Masking and satura/on effects An inverse modelling algorithm has a certain scope: measured spectra may be out of scope defini/on of case 2 water: more than 1 water cons:tuent have to be used to explain the variability of water reflectance spectra

9 Specific uncertain/es of neural network algorithms Training of a NN means to minimize the difference between the modelled result of the training data set and the corresponding outcome of the NN over all training cases: cases my be under represented Gaps in the training data set have to be interpolated by the NN, but this may lead to amplitudes between points (such as a polynomial of high degree)-> overtraining The quality of a NN depends on: the bio-op/cal model and model of the atmosphere and its scope the number of data points and the range and frequency distribu/on of all components of the training data set the co-variances between the variables introduced expected uncertain/es in the training data set the architecture of the NN, the training algorithm, control of training process
