• Description:
  Reliable in situ water-leaving radiance (Lw) measurements are critical for calibrating and validating the ocean color products from remote platforms (e.g., satellite). In an experimental effort, Wei et al. [Opt. Express 29, 2780 (2021)] reported that the on-water radiometry allows for high-precision radiance determination. Zibordi [Opt. Express 29, 19214 (2021)] questioned the use of the “1% radiometry” term in the former and commented on the data collection with the sensor’s optical window submerged in water. This reply responds to the comments and discusses the on-water data processing protocol, which shows the obtained Lw is not affected by the questions raised therein.
