Ocean: Web-based Reanalysis Intercomparison Tool: Monthly Maps

Please email us or post comments to the Reanalyses.org wiki page with any issues, suggestions or comments.
The latest updates and issues for the page are available.
Plot monthly maps or vertical cross-sections from different reanalysis datasets as well as differences between reanalyses. Means, anomalies and climatologies are available.
