FACTS Data Access and Visualization Don Murray
Exploring the Causes of Climate Variations Why FACTS? • FACTS provides multi-model, multi-forcing climate
experiments to help understand and predict changes in climate and weather.
• Experiments are designed to study the effects of real‐time evolving modes of ocean variability (e.g. ENSO, PDO, AMO) on observed weather/climate extremes.
• Provides a capability for the research community to study the causes of atmospheric climate variability.
Sharing Data Search and Download • Open access to FACTS climate model output • Easily search through 25 TB of data • Download for further analysis
Interactive Visualization Comparisons • Model to model • Experiment to experiment • Changes over time • Correlations with climate indices
Documenting the Process • Documentation of forcings for each experiment • Comparison of variables between models • Model sources and configurations
Future Plans • Additional statistical capabilities • Additional experiments, ensembles and models • Annual updates to datasets
