SQUAM objective

- Serve as a community tool for near real-time monitoring of major global SST products

What SQUAM does?

- Monitors global L2 & L3 SSTs w.r.t. L4 fields & in situ data

- Intercompares and validates various global L4 SST products

Methodology

- Global QC and statistical checks for self- and cross-consistency using maps, histograms, time series, and dependencies of SST differences

We have moved from WWB to NCWCP. SQUAM was affected due to the move of IT facilities. Most parts have been restored; some modules will take upto Jan 2013.
