The SASSCAL Data and Information Portal

“…To allow for the consideration of new user demands, the data portal will be continuously enhanced in the future. For example, it will cater to the integration of additional data processing and analysis tools; advanced hydrological, climate, and other environmental models; and off er a link to other SASSCAL data products, such as SASSCAL WeatherNet (Muche et al, 2018;www.sasscalweathernet.org) and the SASSCAL observations net (Hillmann et al, 2018;www.sasscalobservationnet.org).
