SQUAM

SQUAM stands for: SST Quality Monitor

how

Monitors by: Intercomparison and validation and provides diagnostics

where

Web-based tool: online; access anytime anywhereLocate: Google “SST + SQUAM” (first hit)

PURPOSE

Serve

Purposes of a website (e.g., SQUAM)

-monitoring and validation of L2 and L3 SSTs (wrt L4, in situ)

- Intercomparison of L4

as a community tool for NRT monitoring of global

SST products

-feedback to developers on performance of SST/CM algorithm, ice-mask, report anomalies

- assist users in making an informed decision (quality, stability, resolution, temporal coverage)

Points to touch on (show demo of) …

• Navigate between various types: L2 L3 L4

• Navigate between modules• Map/Hist/Timeseries/Dependence/Hovmoeller• Map/Hist/Dependence: save date, animation• Time series (static vs. interactive; download data)

• New features: monthly in situ validation

• Related publications

• Suggestions (tutorial, more data, mirror run for selected modules?, integrate with other sites etc.)
