Data source Description
NASA bio- High-quality global data set of coincident bio-optical in
Optical Marine situ data. The data set was built upon SeaBASS archive.
Algorithm Data The current version (Version 2.0 ALPHA, 2008) was
set (NOMAD) ased, with an additional set of columns of remote-sensing
reflectance corrected for the bidirectional nature of the
.ight field, provided by NOMAD creators. Data compiled
Jetween 1997-2007. Compiled standard variables: “rrs”,
‘chla_hple”, “chl_fluor”, “aph”, “adg”, “bbp”, “kd”

Database
‚MERMAID)

Global database of in situ bio-optical data matched with
concurrent MERIS Level 2 satellite ocean colour products
The “extract matchup” tool to acquire data was used. Data
were compiled between 2002-2012. Access has been
zranted through a signed Service Level Agreement. Comyiled
 standard variables: “rrs”, “Cchla_hplc”, “chl_fluor”,
‘“aph”, “adg”, “bbp”, “kd”, and “tsm”

chemical, and physical oceanographic measurements durıng
 an annual voyage between the United Kingdom and
destinations in the South Atlantic. It has compiled obzervations
 of chlorophyll-a concentration between 1997

Database of several collections of data related to
the marine environment. It has compiled observations
of chlorophyll-a concentration in the northern European
 seas, between 1997-2012. Data were provided by
