Products derived from thermosalinograph (TSG) observations of near surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) are needed to serve many purposes. This component encompasses both the provision of data to users and scientific analysis products. It also addresses project documentation, such as project plans and brochures, to increase the visibility of the project.
