Short description
'''Short description:''' For the '''Global''' Ocean '''Satellite Observations''', ACRI-ST company (Sophia Antipolis, France) is providing '''Chlorophyll-a''' and '''Optics''' products [1997 - present] based on the '''Copernicus-GlobColour''' processor. * '''Chlorophyll''' products are based on a multi sensors/algorithms approach to provide to end-users the best estimate. Two dailies products are distributed: ** one limited to the daily observations (called L3), ** the other based on a space-time interpolation: the '''"Cloud Free"''' (called L4). * '''Optics''' products refer to Reflectance (RRS), Transparency (ZSD), Suspended Matter (SPM), Particulate Backscattering (BBP), Secchi Transparency (ZSD) Diffuse Attenuation (KD490) and Absorption Coef. (ADG/CDM). * The spatial resolution is 4 km. For Chlorophyll, complementary resolutions exist: ** 25 and 100 km at Global level, ** 1 km over the Atlantic (46°W-13°E , 20°N-66°N) for the '''Cloud Free''' product. *Products (Daily, 8-days, Monthly and Climatology) are based on the merging of the sensors SeaWiFS, MODIS-Aqua, MERIS, VIIRSN and OLCI-S3A. For OLCI-S3A, products are also delivered as a single sensor. * Recent products are organized in datasets called NRT (Near Real Time) and long time-series in datasets called REP/MY (Multi-Years). The NRT products are provided one day after satellite acquisition and updated a few days after in Delayed Time (DT) to provide a better quality. An uncertainty is given at pixel level for all products. To find the '''Copernicus-GlobColour''' products in the catalogue, use the search keyword '''"GlobColour"'''.

Lineage
The myOcean products depends on other products for production or validation. The detailed list of dependencies is given in ISO19115's aggregationInfo (ISO19139 Xpath = "gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:aggregationInfo[./gmd:MD_AggregateInformation/gmd:initiativeType/gmd:DS_InitiativeTypeCode/@codeListValue='upstream-validation' or 'upstream-production']")
