README instructions for the MERRA MULTI-Stream Visualization page:

To view output from MERRA, first choose an Experiment ID from the table {d5_merra_jan79, d5_merra_jan89, or d5_merra_jan98},
and a year included within that stream.

d5_merra_jan79 will include years 1979 - 1988
d5_merra_jan89 will include years 1989 - 1997
d5_merra_jan98 will include years 1998 - 2009

Active links can be accessed by clicking on the "go", inactive links remain blank.
If the fields are all blank, the current year selected has not been run for the EXPID selected.
When viewing the images, the comparison will either be "actual" or "climatology", depending on available data.

To alter what verification/validation data set the MERRA output is compared to, click on the "COMPARISON" button,
and select a new data set. NOTE: to activate the TPW and Precipitation links, the "COMPARISON"
button have GPCP, CMAP, SSMI, or SRB selected.

The Observing System links go directly to the observation system visualization pages,
showing all the observations MERRA is using for the current month.

To check the progress of each MERRA stream, click the MERRA Progress & Events link from the Visualization page.
