- POLDER 1 data reprocessed (IOCCG News, March 2003)
- POLDER Project has new set of Ocean-Colour Data (IOCCG News, November 2000)
- The Final reprocessing of POLDER 1 data was completed on November 2005, using new algorithms from POLDER-2 to achieve a consistent set of POLDER products for a total period of 15 months:
- 8 months for POLDER 1 from October 1996 to June 1997
- 7 months for POLDER 2 from April to October 2003
Information about algorithms, products and validation results can be found on the POLDER mission website at: http://smsc.cnes.fr/POLDER/A_produits_scie.htm.
The final scientific POLDER 1 and 2 ocean colour products are available on the POLDER website/order desk at: http://polder.cnes.fr. POLDER Publications:
