PSL Map Room Climate Products


We have made the decision to remove the AAM and GWO products from PSL website. These were research products, and the scientist who supported the pages has retired. We have no one currently at PSL who can support this activity.

You can access the code via ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Public/csmith/AAM/ after emailing psl.data to restore the files/. However we cannot support the code in any way.

For those wishing to develop their own AAM products, these papers may be helpful:
