10 © Crown copyright Met Office Summary Conclusions: OC-CCI and GlobColour chlorophyll assimilated into FOAM-HadOCC Assimilation improves model results OC-CCI and GlobColour give broadly similar results, but with interesting differences Next steps: More detailed validation Exploration of seasonal and inter-annual variability Investigate differences Future requirements from OC-CCI: Case II waters products Single sensor along-track products
