To all interested in marine optics and ocean colour:
Forwarded is the message from the NASA-OBPG (originally posted by Dr Gene C Feldman). Now the ocean colour scientists should be happy to receive an awesome 3400 "in situ" bio-optics data (global coverage) for CAL-VAL and/or regional(there are still huge gaps in certain sectors)/global model parameterisation:thumbsup:
cheers,

The NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) is pleased to announce the public release of an improved, in situ bio-optical data set for use in ocean color algorithm development and satellite data product validation activities.
Briefly, building on the legacy of SeaBAM (the SeaWiFS Bio-optical Algorithm Mini-workshop), the new NASA bio-Optical Marine Algorithm Data set (NOMAD) includes coincident observations of spectral water-leaving radiances, surface irradiances, diffuse downwelling attenuation coefficients, and chlorophyll a concentrations, along with relevant metadata, such as the date, time, and coordinates of data collection. Inherent optical properties and aerosol optical thicknesses will be added in the near future, pending additional comments and input from the community.
For data and details, please visit:
http://seabass.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/nomad.cgi (http://seabass.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/nomad.cgi)
NOMAD was compiled using data archived in SeaBASS (the SeaWiFS Bio-optical Archive and Storage System; http://seabass.gsfc.nasa.gov (http://seabass.gsfc.nasa.gov/)). These data were contributed by participants in the NASA SIMBIOS Program and by voluntary data contributors. A number of contributors were kind enough to waive current SeaBASS Data Access Policy restrictions on their data to facilitate the fully public release of NOMAD. As such, NOMAD is available to the full community, but all users of NOMAD are asked and strongly encouraged to acknowledge both the individual data contributors and SeaBASS. A manuscript describing the development of NOMAD is also available via the above Web site for
perusal and citation.
Best regards from the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group
