Status of development

1. Visualisation tools- Release of version 1.3.0- Current work consists of

- Bug-fixes- Improvement of existing features- Adaption to modified technical specifications

2. Validation services- An exact copy of the CalValPortal software running at BC

is installed at ACRI-ST (with different configuration)- Updates are deployed every two weeks- Specific GlobCOLOUR validation services like match-up of

DDS and in-situ data are in progress
