🌊 MSDAM - Multi Source Data Analysis Monitor (v1.9.7)

A high-performance scientific suite built in Rust for Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) monitoring.

MSDAM is a specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between complex satellite raw data (.nc files) and climate research. It provides an intuitive way to analyze Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Sea Level Anomaly (MSL) across the North Atlantic corridor.

---

🚀 Overview

MSDAM (formerly AMOC-DAM) allows researchers and climate enthusiasts to process NetCDF datasets from NASA (JPL), Copernicus (Marine), and IFREMER (OSI-SAF). The application automates data extraction across critical North Atlantic latitudes (40°N to 65°N) at a fixed longitude (15.0°W).

✨ Key Features

• Multi-Source Integration: Native support for NASA (MUR-Infrared), Copernicus (Altimetry/MSL), and IFREMER (VIIRS/SAT).
• Hybrid Toolset: Includes both a Graphical Interface (GUI) for visualization and a Console Version for quick terminal-based audits.
• Scientific Consistency: Uses egui_plot with auto-bounds for SST (°C) and Sea Level (m), ensuring data integrity.
• Security & Integrity: Integrated SHA1 hashing for every file processed to ensure data traceability.
• Linux Optimized: Specifically tailored for high performance on openSUSE Tumbleweed and rolling-release distributions.

"Implemented Sea Level Anomaly (MSL) correlation, allowing for dynamic height analysis of the North Atlantic Current (NAC) as a proxy for AMOC strength."

🖥️ Versions & Usage

1. GUI Version (MSDAM)

The flagship version with real-time plotting and interactive data grids.

• How to run:
  1. Give execution permission: chmod +x amoc-msdam
  2. Run it: ./amoc-msdam
• Interaction: Use the "📂 Abrir NetCDF" button to select any compatible file. The app detects the provider automatically.

2. Console Version (MSDAT)

A lightweight, lightning-fast terminal tool for quick data extraction.

• How to run:
  1. Give execution permission: chmod +x amoc-msdat
  2. Run it: ./amoc-msdat
• Output: Direct ASCII/Table output of the coordinates and values from the files in the current directory.
