There are several ocean colour radiometry missions currently in orbit. Significant improvements in spatial coverage and temporal resolution can be achieved by combining data from the various missions. This report details the complexities arising from radiometric, spectral and other factors of combining data from the different missions, focusing on issues associated with data merging, why it is necessary, and what is needed to construct high quality data sets of merged ocean colour.
