Climate Inspector

This interactive web application gives users a way to visualize possible temperature and precipitation changes throughout the 21st century. The maps and graphs are generated from a large dataset of climate simulations that were prepared for the 2014 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 

The tool shows simulations from 

1. a multi-model ensemble consisting of ten models from the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) or 
2. the Community Climate System Model (CCSM4). 

The tool offers different emission trajectories (i.e., Representative Concentration Pathways); global coverage through time; climate trends, variability and uncertainty; and the ability to download maps and data. Temporal climate data are available for a single grid cell, or you can download global data in a shapefile or textfile format.
