Six interconnected work packages

Revamp will consist of 6 work packages, namely:

• WP0    Project Management
• WP1    Collection of Historical CSI-data and meta-data, region identification, and optical model parameter validation
• WP2    Algorithm selection, calibration and validation
• WP3    Data collection and instrument calibration
• WP4    Production of regional MERIS based CHL maps
• WP5    Value Adding Products and User Requirements
• WP6    Final products and results dissemination

The interconnection between the work packages is made clear in the following figure.

WP1 will produce historic CSI-datasets and WP3 will collect and deliver actual high quality CSI-datasets. Both datasets will be used to parameterize, calibrate and validate regional TCHL algorithms in WP2. WP4 -the MERIS processor- will produce an instrument to derive CHL-products from MERIS observations. The products will be validated using the datasets from WP1 and 3. Validated CHL products will subsequently be used to derive prototype value added products in WP5. These products, together with the CHL-products will be demonstrated to the end-user in WP5 in order to discuss requirements for the final products suite. In WP6 the final products are produced and demonstrated to a broad community of end-users.
