D5.15 INFORM Prototype/Algorithms Validation Report provides validation results for the algorithms described in deliverable D5.14 (INFORM Algorithms Theoretical Basis Document). The report is an update of the preliminary validation results reported in D5.13. D5.15 describes the data used, the applied processing steps with reference to D5.1 and D5.14 for more detailed information, and validation results for T5.1 Atmospheric correction, T5.2 Attenuation and euphotic depth, T5.3 TSM and turbidity, T5.4 Yellow matter, T5.5 Phytoplankton functional types, T5.6 Stratification, T5.7 Macrophytes, T5.8 Phytoplankton primary production and T5.9 Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. For T5.1, T5.2 and T5.3 the developed prototype code is described in D5.2 Sentinel-2 atmospheric correction prototype code, D5.3 Attenuation coefficients and euphotic depth prototype code and D5.4 TSM and turbidity prototype code, respectively. The products developed in T5.2 Attenuation and euphotic depth, T5.3 TSM and turbidity, T5.4 Yellow matter, T5.5 Phytoplankton functional types, T5.6 Stratification, T5.7 Macrophytes, T5.8 Phytoplankton primary production and T5.9 Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence are described in D5.5 - D5.12.
