NRTAVS produces comprehensive, running web-based summaries of individual correction terms, as well as wind, wave and sea-surface height for satellite radar altimeter missions.

VIIRS Ocean Color Product Calibration / Validation - Science Quality (NIR) Processing: MOBY data matchup

The ocean color science team seeks to develop improved ocean color products from the current and future ocean color satellite sensors including the SeaWiFS, MODIS, and VIIRS on the SNPP and JPSS, as well as various satellite sensors from other countries.

ARMS is a regional monitor with pre-defined regions for multiple satellite platforms and SST product levels.

MICROS s a near real time system to monitor and analyze the "Model minus Observation" (M-O) biases in top-of-atmosphere (TOA) brightness temperatures (BT). "Retrieval minus Reynolds" SST biases are also monitored.

SQUAM monitors global L2 & L3 SSTs with respect to L4 fields & in situ data. It also intercompares and validates various global L4 SST products.

iQuam is a system developed in NESDIS/STAR to perform near real time QC of in situ measurements and monitor the statistics. Ships and buoys (drifters and moorings) are included.
