Posted on 12 June 2008, Plans for DIVHACs endorsed by GHRSST Science Team
At the 9th GHRSST science team meeting at Perros Guirec, France, plans were presented by the DVWG to begin experiments to underpin the creation of Diurnal Variability Hourly Analysis Centres (DIVHACs). The first likely DIVHAC to go live will be part of the MyOcean framework, and will cover the area of the SEVIRI satellite disk, with an hourly analysis of SST based on SEVIRI hourly SST observations, plus interpolation/filling of cloudy gaps using techniques under development.

Posted 18 April 2008, Fourth Diurnal Variabiltiy Working Group
The fourth meeting of the diurnal variabiltiy working group took place in Orlando, Florida, prior to a during the ASLO 2008 conference. The most significant development is that three partners in the DVWG are planning experimental hourly analyses of ocean surface diurnal variabiltiy over the next two years. These new products will benefit from the significant progress, recent and ongoing, in fast physical and novel statistical models of diurnal warming. Meeting report
