A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications - version 3

A global compilation of in situ data is vital to evaluate the quality of ocean-colour satellite data records. Here, we describe data compiled for the validation of ocean-colour products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI). The data were acquired from several sources (including, inter alia, MOBY, BOUSSOLE, AERONET-OC, SeaBASS, NOMAD, MERMAID, AMT, ICES, HOT, GeP&CO) and span the period from 1997 to 2021. Observations of the following variables were compiled: spectral remote-sensing reflectance, concentration of chlorophyll-a, spectral inherent optical properties, spectral diffuse attenuation coefficient and total suspended matter. The data were obtained from multi-project archives acquired via open internet services, or from individual projects, acquired directly from data providers. Methodologies were implemented for homogenisation, quality control and merging of all data. […]

全球性的现场数据汇编对于评估海洋颜色卫星数据记录的质量至关重要。本篇论文旨在阐述为验证欧洲空间局海洋颜色气候变化倡议（OC-CCI）的海洋颜色产品而编纂的数据。这些数据来源于多个渠道（其中包括MOBY、BOUSSOLE、AERONET-OC、SeaBASS、NOMAD、MERMAID、AMT、ICES、HOT、GeP&CO等）并涵盖了1997年至2021年间的时段。汇编了以下变量的观测数据：光谱遥感反射率、叶绿素-a浓度、光谱固有光学特性、光谱扩散衰减系数以及总悬浮物。数据来源于通过开放互联网服务获取的多项目档案，或直接从数据提供者处获取的单个项目。对数据的同化、质量控制及合并均实施了相应的方法论。
