This list of Active Objects appears in Expert Mode and are all the datasets that you currently have open. The last one (IRI MP RESEARCH ATMOSPHERE GLOBAL ECHAM5 EAfrSST EAfr_climo.D Daily Surface runoff) is the one you are currently working with.

means the grid is missing

M means the grids match

O means the grids are offset

S means the grids could match by sampling

D means the grids differ

Grid Comparisons

When you have multiple variables active, a table of grid comparisons appears to the right. These comparisons are between the last variable and all the others (so the last row always has matches or blanks).

Dataset Documentation

We start with a quick reminder of where you are in the collection of datasets.

...

As you go from left to right, the datasets listed get more and more specific, ending with the current dependent variable, IRI MP RESEARCH ATMOSPHERE GLOBAL ECHAM5 EAfrSST EAfr_climo.D Daily Surface runoff. Datasets with documentation are marked (*): the * links to the documentation directly.

Grids

Grids are the independent variables, i.e. what the current dependent variable (runoff) depends on.
