2nd FRM4DRONES-AQUATIC Virtual Workshop Announcement – September 25, 2025

You are invited to the second FRM4DRONES-AQUATIC online workshop on “Uncertainty, FRM, and Traceability” for UAV aquatic reflectance retrieval, taking place on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 15:00 to 17:00 (CET).

This interactive session will introduce the principles of Fiducial Reference Measurement (FRM) and focus on:

- - SI traceability and its role in measurement reliability
  - Uncertainty evaluation and best practices
  - Instrument characterization
  - Standardization of protocols across platforms

Program highlights

- - Introduction – NPL: Principles of FRM and benefits of aligning with FRM standards
  - Giuseppe Zibordi (EOScience): Optical radiometry requirements for drone systems supporting ocean colour validation activities
  - Robbie Ramsay (NERC FSF Calibration Laboratory): Current calibration activities involving UAV imagers and underwater optics
