I am attending the Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop this week in Las Cruces NM. The theme of this year’s meeting is agriculture. After one day, my mind is already full of new web sites to visit and tools that might be useful to those of us who use climate information to make production decisions. I’ll be highlighting a few of the sites this week.
One site which allows easy visualization of climate information on an interactive map is the Climate Explorer from NOAA’s US Climate Resilience Toolkit. You can find information about the Climate Explorer and a link to launch the tool at https://toolkit.climate.gov/tools/climate-explorer. In addition to maps, you can also look at graphs of historical climate data and turn on and off layers on the maps. There is a tutorial on the bottom of the introductory page to help you navigate the site.
