In high-latitude oceans, extreme weather conditions and complex environments make it difficult to obtain large-scale ocean color data through in situ measurements, such as buoy and shipboard measurements, especially during the winter season. Ocean color satellites provide the only means of monitoring marine ecological environments at regional and global scales. However, due to the reduced accuracy of atmospheric correction models under large solar zenith angles, publicly-available datasets currently lack ocean color data for the high-latitude oceans during the winter season. In this study, we developed a dataset of ocean color products for the high-latitude oceans of the Southern Hemisphere (≥50°S) from 2003 to 2020 based on a newly-developed atmospheric correction model. We validated the accuracy of the retrieved chlorophyll concentration products using in situ datasets from the NASA Bio-Optical Marine Algorithm Dataset (NOMAD) and the Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE). The results indicated ...
