  5. Principal Outcome of Meeting • Discuss definition and attributes of operational ocean color system • Assign highest priority of group’s effort to publication of “Why Ocean Color” Report

  6. Operational Ocean Color Definition: Providing useful data products and information derived from satellite ocean colour sensors on a continued basis for its use in routine applications related to resources, environment and climate studies by local, state and federal governments, commercial entities, academic institutes, non-governmental agencies and public at large.

  7. Components of Operational Ocean Color • Sensor Calibration • Data Acquisition • Image Processing • Product Development • Product Verification • Product Distribution • Application • User Feedback • Archive

  8. Attributes of Operational Ocean Color • Real-time remotely sensed and in-situ data • Quality control of observational data sets and models • Real-time dissemination of information • User feedback mechanisms • Archival of observations and model output • Diverse basic and applied research enterprise • Highly trained and educated workforce Basic Framework drawn from meteorological analogue

  9. Application Report Outline • See attached MS Word document
