Abstract. A global in situ data set for validation of ocean colour products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate
Change Initiative (OC-CCTI) is presented. This version of the compilation, starting in 1997, now extends to
2021, which is important for the validation of the most recent satellite optical sensors such as Sentinel 3B
ÖOLCI and NOAA-20 VIIRS. The data set comprises in situ observations of the following variables: spectral
