The Ocean Color Radiometry Virtual Constellation (OCR-VC) will provide long time series of calibrated ocean color radiance (OCR) at key wavelength bands from measurements obtained from multiple satellites.  OCR-VC activities will include calibration, validation, merging of satellite and in situ data, product generation, as well as development and demonstrations of new and improved applications. Examples and prototypes of programs the OCR-VC will require to meet its objectives include the SIMBIOS (NASA), GlobColour (ESA), ChloroGIN (POGO-GEO-GOOS) and SAFARI (CSA/GEO) projects.

For more information, see the OCR-VC presentation given at the 2010 SIT-25 Meeting in Tokyo, Japan.
