Table 7 are those found after the installation and ingestion of the historical archives. They are grouped by categories, as in the eStation GUI, and for each of them we indicate the name of product, its version, the subproduct, the type of subproduct (either Ingest or Derived), the geographic maximum available extension and the temporal extension of the timeseries. The reference period for the computation of LTA (Long Term Anomalies) is also indicated: normally, it corresponds to the whole datasets length, and is therefore longer then the temporal extension of timeseries.

2.3 DESCR IPT IO N O F T HE ‘STAND ARD ’ PROCE SSI NG CH AI NS
The current paragraph presents in a graphic manner how the ‘derived’ products are computed in the ‘standard’ processing chains, available in release 2.0.X, according to the following conventions:
• The ‘entry’ point of the processing chain is displayed at the top-left corner, and indicated with the number 0. It is normally an ingested product.
• Every group of derived products is indicated with an increasing number, according to the order of the computation.
• Some processing chains can be called with an option, which activates/deactivates some steps. When he steps are de-activated, the corresponding outputs are not updated (e.g. long-term statistics).
• The options are indicated in a table, together with the products the chain is applied to (non-exhaustive list). The default option is also indicated, for which the active computational steps are indicated in green in the diagram.
