This dataset contains both inherent optical properties (IOPs) and apparent optical properties (AOPs) for testing and comparing algorithms, as in IOCCG Report 5.
Please cite this report as follows if you use the dataset:

- The IOP_AOP_Sun30.xls file is for the sun at 30o from zenith.
- The IOP_AOP_Sun60.xls file is for the sun at 60o from zenith.
The sixth International Ocean Colour Science (IOCS) meeting will take place in Darmstadt, Germany from 1 – 4 December 2025, hosted by EUMETSAT and ESA with support from other agencies.
