Author contributions. AV complied the database, carried out the
integration and quality checking, and drafted the paper. The first
eight authors are part of the ESA OC-CCI team and contributed
to the design of the compilation, to the quality checking, and con-
cributed data. The remaining authors are listed alphabetically and
are data contributors (see their respective data set on Table 2) or
individuals responsible for the development of a particular data set
(e.g. JW for NOMAD and KB for MERMAID). All data contrib-
ators (listed in Table 2) were contacted for authorization of data
publishing and offered co-authorship. In the case of the ICES data
set, the permission for publishing was given by the ICES team. All
the authors have critically reviewed the paper.
