The WCDAS is a tool to promote the operational generation of maps and indicators useful in the monitoring of water quality. The WC-DAS facilitates data processing of satellite optical multispectral data acquired by Sentinel-3 OLCI, Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat-8 OLI sensors. Users can optionally provide a set of calibrated parameters to process a list of input satellite data. The algorithms Case 2 Regional CoastColour (C2RCC) (Brockmann et al., 2016) and Atmospheric Correction for OLI 'lite' (ACOLITE) (Vanhellemont et al., 2016) are implemented: they perform atmospheric correction to derive water-leaving reflectances from Top-Of-Atmospere reflectances, that are later used for water quality parameters estimation. Regional calibrated coefficients, desirable by retrieval algorithms for an accurate estimation of seawater bio-geophysical parameters considering local conditions, can be optionally supplied in order to operationally deriving calibrated water quality estimates.
