	abstract = {Visible Spectral Radiometry (VSR, often referred to as ocean colour) is a highly
		quantitative methodology that yields accurate and precise fields of an important
		marine geophysical variable (chlorophyll concentration) of high significance for
		understanding the planetary carbon cycle. It is a quantity in ocean biogeochemistry
		and has many other applications including management of marine resources. It
		provides our only window into the marine ecosystem on synoptic scales. Of
		particular importance is the application to climate research: chlorophyll resides in
		phytoplankton, which use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis leading to a potential
		reduction in the atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas. In the climate
		context, it is vital that a seamless time series be constructed using data from all
		available missions. The merged data set protects the temporal continuity of the data
		stream and optimises the spatial coverage.
