International Ocean Colour Science (IOCs) meeting
06–08 May 2013, Darmstadt, Germany
The primary focus of the IOCS meeting is to build and strengthen the international ocean colour community by providing a structure and mechanisms to collectively address common issues and goals.
19 August 2021
06 May 2013
The aim is to achieve the best quality ocean colour data that meet scientific, environmental, climate and operational needs through international collaboration and scientific and technological innovation.
The meeting will encompass:
- satellite instrument calibration
- in situ data and protocols for cal/val
- data infrastructure, formats and distribution
- algorithms and products
- applications, user services and tools
- international training opportunities.
The symposium will highlight each of these components through invited keynote speeches, splinter sessions, poster sessions and open floor discussions, with the overarching theme of the IOCS meeting being 'Building of Ocean Colour Climate Data Records'. In addition to providing a forum to develop a strong voice for the community, the meeting will also offer an opportunity to interact and collaborate with other ocean colour scientists.
The symposium is convened by the International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG) in partnership with, and thanks to the generous sponsorship of NASA and EUMETSAT. Other meeting sponsors include ESA and CNES which are gratefully acknowledged.
