Grid Comparison Tool instructions
Choosing a Dataset
There are currently 4 default datasets immediately available, but any dataset present in the datafed wiki RSS catalog may be brought into the application.
To choose a dataset from the catalog, select "Choose new dataset" from either map's dataset drop down menu.
The Grid datasets from the datafed catalog will pop up in a new window.
From here, you may search for values in a number of fields, view the dataset's metadata, or select the dataset to bring it into the Grid Comparison Tool application.
Choosing a Time
Once you have selected a dataset, you will notice the time range available for that dataset and the frequency of data.
