Cover Story: This paper presents the third edition of the open-access benchmark Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX), providing a comprehensive assessment of atmospheric processors of space-borne hyperspectral missions over land surfaces. The exercise contains 90 scenes, covering stations for assessing aerosol optical depth and water vapour retrievals, as well as stationary networks and ad hoc campaigns for surface reflectance validation. This study shows a detailed analysis of similarities and differences of seven processors, offering critical insights for understanding the current capabilities and limitations of atmospheric correction algorithms for imaging spectroscopy. It offers a foundation for future improvements and a first practical guide to support users in selecting the most suitable processor for their application needs. View this paper

  • Guglielmina Adele Diolaiuti and
  • Antonella Senese

2 December 2025

Glaciers in High-Mountain Asia, the so-called “Third Pole,” are critical water sources but remain poorly monitored due to rugged topography and limited accessibility. We present an integrated approach that combines remote sensing with gro...
