General Comment: Definition in GCOS-245: Ocean colour is the radiance emanating from the ocean normalized by the irradiance illuminating the ocean. Products derived from ocean colour remote sensing (OCRS) contain information on the ocean albedo and information on the constituents of the seawater, in particular, phytoplankton pigments such as chlorophyll-a. Confidence: reasonable
Def: :Not firm, but based on a strong heritage of experiments with similar data
