Applications of the GlobCOLOUR PPS and FPS Sam Lavender, UoP Inputs from the GlobCOLOUR team Special thanks to Yaswant Pradhan, Julien Demaria, Gilbert Barrot & David Antoine.
Overview of Presentation • Advantages of merged data • Primary Product Set (PPS) Diagnostic Data Sets (DDS) • Some applications • Conclusions
Advantages of Merged Data • Reduced impact from clouds • A longer time series than a single sensor • Better understanding of errors, and the inclusion of error estimates in the output products for GlobCOLOUR
Advantages of Merged Data: individual sensors on a single day

But GlobCOLOUR will provide more than just chlorophyll… • Bio-geochemical variables: Chl, TSM and CDM • Underwater light field: Kd • Atmospheric variables: Aerosol optical depth, Cloud Fraction and PAR • nLws are provided so the users can create their own (regional specific) products
Thank you for your attention
