Description:We are pleased to report that the fourth National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) dedicated calibration and validation (Cal/Val) cruise on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer has been successfully carried out from 9 May to 18 May 2018. Nine research groups with 17 investigators participated the cruise. This report provides details about activities and measurement procedures in the May 2018 Cal/Val cruise. The Ocean Color Team at the NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) is focused on “end-to-end” production of high quality satellite ocean color products. In situ validation of satellite data is essential to produce the high quality, fit-for-purpose remotely sensed ocean color products that are required and expected by all NOAA line offices, as well as by external (both applied and research) users.
