Instructions

Line plot comparisons of Model and observed past climate change and future climate predictions can be displayed from this web page.

  • Multiple spatial domains, multiple additive decades, multiple additive Model simulations, and multiple additive observations produce separate lines. Only the first eight lines are generated.
  • For user specified spatial domain only, pairs of Model longitude and latitude numbers are based on the Model's atmosphere grid. Default values in the textarea are for the Arctic Ocean when "User Specified, Ocean" is selected.
  • If any climatological observation is checked, then subtractive decades, subtractive Model simulations, subtractive Model climate variables, and subtractive transient observations are ignored.
  • Transient observations are available from the 1950s through the 2000s.
  • If any transient observation is checked, then subtractive Model simulations and subtractive Model climate variables are ignored.
  • If subtractive transient observations are checked, then additive decades are curtailed to be within the range of the observations.
  • Be aware that some observations are defined over limited spatial domains. Consequently, different lines in a Line Plot may be averaging their data over different spatial domains.
