Color Plots of Climate Trends

Climate trends at each grid cell are slopes of least square fit lines of a quantity, measured yearly, over a time period.
Units are change in quantity per decade

Color Plot takes 10 to 20 seconds.

Select time frequency:
M1: monthly S1: seasonal A1: annual

Select spatial domain: Global Land only Ocean only

Select first year:
Select last year:

Select months: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Select model simulations (Cons is the average of Con1 and Con2, etc.):
Con1 GHG1 SUL1 Con2 GHG2 SUL2 Cons GHGs SULs none
Subtract appropriate simulations: Con GHG SUL none
