Science Use Cases Example 1: Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over a hot spot region

Services Used: Scatter and Histogram Plots of Two Variables and 2D variable map

Datasets used: AMSR-E and ECMWF-Interim

Scientific Merit: This example shows us that AMSR-E SSTs agree quite well on a point-to-point basis with ECMWF-Interim SSTs over an SST hot spot region.

Services Used: 2D Variable Map

Datasets used: ECMWF SST

Scientific Merit: Above: Shows that SSTs in the southern equatorial region, near the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), are among the highest on Earth
