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 Model simulations and climate variables, and multiple transient 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.
  • A checked radio button to the right of a climate variable indicates that this variable will be subtracted from each climate variable checked to the left.
  • If A1 annual data is selected and subtractive Model simulations are checked, then 21 year moving averages of appropriate subtractive simulation values are subtracted from individual annual values of displayed simulations.
