In recent years, large datasets of in situ marine carbonate system parameters (partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon and pH) have been collated. These carbonate system datasets have highly variable data density in both space and time, especially in the case of pCO2, which is routinely measured at high frequency using underway measuring systems. This variation in data density can create biases when the data are used, for example for algorithm assessment, favouring datasets or regions with high data density. A common way to overcome data density issues is to bin the data into cells of equal latitude and longitude extent. This leads to bins with spatial areas that are latitude and projection dependent (eg become smaller and more elongated as the poles are approached). Additionally, as bin boundaries are defined without reference to the spatial distribution of the data or to geographical features, data clusters may be divided sub-optimally (eg a bin covering a region with a strong gradient). To overcome these problems and to provide a tool for matching in situ data with satellite, model and climatological data, which often have very different spatiotemporal scales both from the in situ data and from each other, a methodology has been created to group in situ data into ‘regions of interest’, spatiotemporal cylinders consisting of circles on the Earth’s surface extending over a period of time. These regions of interest are optimally adjusted to contain as many in situ measurements as possible. All in situ measurements of the same parameter contained in a region of interest are collated, including estimated uncertainties and regional summary statistics. The same grouping is done for each of the other datasets, producing a dataset of matchups. About 35 million in situ datapoints were then matched with data from five satellite sources and five model and re-analysis datasets to produce a global matchup dataset of carbonate system data, consisting of 287,000 regions of interest spanning 54 years from 1957 to 2023. Each region of interest is 50 km in diameter and 5 days in duration, improving the spatial and temporal resolution of the previous version (v3.4). The list of sources added in this dataset includes: - sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration from Copernicus Climate Service Multi-satellite L4 (http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/62c0f97b1eac4e0197a674870afe1ee6) - sea surface salinity from the Copernicus Marine service Multi Observation Global Ocean Sea Surface Salinity and Sea Surface Density (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00051) - Surface ocean sea-air CO2 fluxes and total alkalinity from ETH Zurich OceanSODA-ETHZ-v2 gridded dataset (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11206366) - salinity and mixed layer depth from SODA v3.4.2 reanalysis (https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-18-0149.1) - chlorophyll-A from ESA Ocean Colour CCI v6 (doi:10.3390/s19194285) - wind at 10 m and mean sea level pressure from ERA5 reanalysis - nitrate, silicate, phosphate, oxygen, temperature and salinity from World Ocean Atlas 2018 - sea level anomaly from Global Ocean Gridded L4 Sea Surface Heights And Derived Variables Multi-Year dataset by Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00148) - sea surface salinity from ESA Salinity CCI L4 v3.2.1 (https://dx.doi.org/10.5285/5920a2c77e3c45339477acd31ce62c3c) - sea surface salinity from JPL SMAP Level 3 CAP Sea Surface Salinity (https://doi.org/10.5067/SMP40-3SPCS) - temperature and salinity from Coriolis Observation Re-Analysis CORA5.2 by Copernicus Marine Service (https://doi.org/10.17882/46219) - subskin sea surface temperature from NOAA OISST SST (http://doi.org/10.5067/GHAAO-4BC01) - sea surface salinity from the Arctic salinity dataset (https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/9065) the Barcelona Expert Center (http://bec.icm.csic.es/) - pH and spCO2 from Copernicus Marine Service Surface Ocean Carbon Dataset (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00047) An example application, the reparameterisation of a global total alkalinity algorithm, is shown. This matchup dataset can be updated as and when in situ and other datasets are updated, and similar datasets at finer spatiotemporal scale can be constructed, for example to enable regional studies. This dataset was funded by ESA OceanHealth / Ocean Acidification project which aims at developing the use of satellite Earth Observation for studying and monitoring marine carbonate chemistry.

The ESA Sea State Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced global multi-sensor time-series of along-track satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) significant wave height (SWH) data (referred to as SAR WV onboard Sentinel-1 Level 2P (L2P) SWH data) with a particular focus for use in climate studies. This dataset contains the Sentinel-1 SAR Remote Sensing Significant Wave Height product (version 1.0), which is part of the ESA Sea State CCI Version 3.0 release. This product provides along-track SWH measurements at 20km resolution every 100km, processed using the Quach et al statistical model , separated per satellite and pass, including all measurements with flags, corrections and extra parameters from other sources. These are expert products with rich content and no data loss. The SAR Wave Mode data used in the Sea State CCI dataset v3 come from Sentinel-1 satellite missions spanning from 2015 to 2021 (Sentinel-1 A, Sentinel-1 B).

This Level 2 product provides marine reflectances from the VENµS mission, processed with the Polymer algorithm, on a subset of sites with coastal or inland areas. VENµS (Vegetation and Environment monitoring on a New Micro-Satellite) is a Franco-Israeli satellite launched in 2017, dedicated to the fine and regular monitoring of terrestrial vegetation, in particular cultivated areas, forests, protected natural areas, etc. The images acquired in 12 spectral bands by a camera provided by CNES, on a selection of about one hundred scientific sites spread over the planet, are of high spatial (5 m) and temporal resolution. The lifetime of the VENµS satellite has been divided into two phases: a first phase VM1 at an altitude of 720 km with a 2-day revisit, a native spatial resolution of 5.3 m and a swath of 27.6 km from August 2017 to November 2020, and a second phase VM5 at an altitude of 560 km with a daily revisit, a native spatial resolution of 4.1 m and a swath of 21.3 km from March 2022 to July 2024. VENµS is the first sensor on board an orbiting satellite to combine such revisit frequency and spatial finesse for vegetation monitoring. A subset of sites with coastal areas or inland waters have been identified to generate Level 2 data dedicated to marine reflectance. The geographical areas covered are given through a kmz file, see below to download it. This Level 2 data product has been processed using the Polymer algorithm developed by Hygeos (https://hygeos.com/en/polymer/) and provides marine reflectances for the VENµS bands from 420 to 865 nm. These reflectances, without units, include a bidirectional normalization for the Sun at nadir and the observer at nadir. VENµS data products (Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3) are primarily generated with the MAJA algorithm, further information can be found on THEIA website: https://www.theia-land.fr/en/product/venus/
