Climate TimelineThis interface provides access to 130 year historical plus 100 year future prediction data*. Data includes temperature, precipitation, snow, surface runoff, and solar radiation under low, medium, and high CO2 emission scenarios. If you are using this with the GLOBE Carbon Cycle Biomass Accumulation Model, choose the Annual Time-line! For a more in-depth analysis, see the Monthly Climate Time-line. Download data at a monthly time-step to investigate climate changes at a finer scale, and explore differences between seasons. |

Climate Change ComparisonsAn interactive graph (a Google Motion Chart) of temperature vs. precipitation over 130 years of historical data and 100 years of future predictions*. Future climate projects are from a high CO2 emission scenario. With this product, you can compare the changes in climate at two different locations by inputting two different latitude/longitude pairs. Also provides biome information and a downloadable data file for further analysis.
