Table 2. Original sets of data and data contributors in the final table. 
Data source Description 
Marine optical Daily observations of remote-sensing reflectance, mea- 
buoy (MOBY) sured by a fixed mooring system, located west of the 
-Tawalian Island of Lanai. Data compiled between 1997- 
1021. Data were obtained from the MOBY website. Com 
Jiled standard variable: “rrs”. 
High-frequency (15 min) observations of remote-sensing 
‚eflectance, from a fixed mooring system, located 
in the western Mediterranean Sea. Measurements of 
:hlorophyll-@ concentration are also available at the 
mooring locations. Remote-sensing reflectance and 
>hlorophyll-a data were compiled between 2003-2019 
ınd 2001-2020, respectively. Data were provided by 
David Antoine. Compiled standard variables: “rrs”

Global archive of in situ marine data from multiple con- 
xibutors. Bio-optical global data between 1997-2020 
were extracted from the SeaBASS website. Pigment data 
were mostly extracted using “pigment search” tool, which 
arovides data directly from the archives. Radiometric data 
were extracted using “validation” tool, which only pro- 
vides in situ data with matchups for ocean colour sen- 
sors. Compiled standard variables: “rrs”, “chla_hple”. 
‘chl_fluor”, “aph”, “adg”, “bbp”, “kd”.
