3. GHRSST XIV STM – AUS TAG. Woods Hole 18 June 2013, Cape Cod, MA 3 SQUAM SQUAM stands for: SST Quality Monitor how Monitors by: Intercomparison and validation and provides diagnostics where Web-based tool: online; access anytime anywhere Locate: Google “SST + SQUAM” (first hit)

4. GHRSST XIV STM – AUS TAG. Woods Hole 18 June 2013, Cape Cod, MA 4 PURPOSE Serve Support Sell 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)
