Grid Comparisons
|
When you have multiple variables active, a table of grid comparisons appears to the right. These comparisons are between the last variable and all the others (so the last row always has matches or blanks).

Dataset Documentation
We start with a quick reminder of where you are in the collection of datasets.
As you go from left to right, the datasets listed get more and more specific, ending with the current dependent variable, NOAA NCEP EMC CMB GLOBAL Reyn_SmithOIv2 weekly ssta.
Datasets with documentation are marked (*): the * links to the documentation directly.
Grids
Grids are the independent variables, i.e. what the current dependent variable (ssta) depends on.
