Data set for the paper: Intercomparison of ocean colour algorithms for picophytoplankton carbon in the ocean

This dataset contains the phytoplankton carbon,Cphy, obtained from in situ counts of phytoplankton cells using ow cytometry presented in the paper [13]. The location and time of the samples have been matched with the satelllite data in the Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OCCCI) dataset. This dataset is the match between the in situ Cphy and the products from using the OCCCI inputs (i.e. chlorophyll concentration, backscattering coecient, phytoplankton absorption) with 6 different algorithms. This document describes the dataset details: data sources, computation of Cphy, selected data.
