1. Conclusions of the CDR

2. CDR conclusions and recommendations
Characterisation conclusions
The in situ characterisation for chlorophyll and the diffuse attenuation coefficient has produced some useable results.
The in situ nLw characterisation will undergo additional work within the next couple of months to tie up the loose ends and come to a final set of conclusions
The sensor cross characterisation has shown that this changes with the different acquisition situations (observation conditions, seasonal variations and regional sensitivity). We propose that the results are not pre-applied to the sensors, but used as an error input to the merging process.

3. CDR conclusions and recommendations
Products selection (1/3)
YSBPA is only

4. CDR conclusions and recommendations
Products selection (2/3)
Investigate the alternative of providing Bbp products

5. CDR conclusions and recommendations
Products selection (3/3)
Deviation from a given radiance range at 560 nm
Daily PAR (TBC at QR)

6. CDR conclusions and recommendations
Merging methods final pre-selection
Criteria for selection:
Robustness
Sensitivity to error propagation (deviation as well as bias)
Lower dependency on characterisation
Computational feasibility
Based on DJF v2.0 candidates are:
(weighted) averaging
GSM01
Optimal interpolation (1 test to assess criticality of global extension)
