Find & Display Local Data

Time series

This option provides yearly values for 1950-2095 from 24 climate models. It also provides some basic summary values and historical data for context.

You can display these values for any climate variable on the atlas, and for two climate change scenarios.

Start here if you want to explore the projected values for different future time periods and climate change scenarios.

Frequency distribution

The frequency display provides the percentage distribution of projected annual values across three different 30-year time periods.

You can display these values for any climate variable on the atlas, and for two climate change scenarios.

This display is useful if you want to see the relative likelihood of projected conditions, if you want to explore how much more common extreme conditions are projected to become, or if you want to see the shifting average values of variables over time.

Scatterplot

The scatter plot displays the projected change in annual mean temperature and precipitation for all 24 climate models, for the future time periods 2021-2050 and 2051-2080 (relative to 1976-2005).

This provides a way to easily explore the amount of agreement within the ensemble of models for this location, and to identify models that are outliers relative to the rest of the ensemble.

Climograph

The climograph displays modelled monthly average temperature and total precipitation for two time periods: a 1976-2005 baseline and either the 2021-2050 or 2051-2080 future period.

This is a convenient summary of basic climatic values for a location, and the monthly resolution can reveal important seasonal and monthly patterns in projected changes.
