Instructions

Comparisons of model and observed past climate changes and future climate predictions can be displayed from this web page. The plot can be a complex difference by subtracting observations and control simulations, by subtracting time periods, and by subtracting quantities.

  • Checking two climatological observations causes data of the first observation to be subtracted from that of the second observation. Transient observations and Model simulations are ignored.
  • Checking a climatological observation and a transient observation causes the climatological observation to be subtracted from the transient observation. Model simulations, subtractive (second) transient observations, and subtractive decades are ignored.
  • Checking a climatological observation and a Model simulation causes the climatological observation to be subtracted from the Model simulation. Subtractive (second) Model simulations, subtractive Model variables, and subtractive decades are ignored.
  • Checking two transient observations causes data of the first observation to be subtracted from that of the second observation. Model simulations are ignored.
  • Checking a transient observation and a Model simulation causes the transient observation to be subtracted from the Model simulation. Subtractive (second) Model simulations and subtractive Model variables are ignored.
  • Checking two decades causes data of the earlier decade to be subtracted from that of the later decade.
  • Most transient observations are available from the 1950s onwards, but some decades may be missing.
  • Checking two months causes data of the earlier month to be subtracted from that of the later month.
  • For annual data, months are ignored.
  • For seasonal data, seasons are designated by checking the center month.
  • The web program's chosen presentation parameters can be overridden near the bottom of this page. Be sure to blank out your values if you switch to another quantity.
