Color Plots of Climate Trends

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

Checking two transient observations causes data of the first observation to be subtracted from that of the second observation. Model simulations are ignored.
Checking a transient observation and a Model simulation causes the transient observation to be subtracted from the Model simulation. Subtractive Model variables are ignored.
Checking two Model variables causes the first variable to be subtracted from the second variable.
If JavaScripts are enabled by your browser, the status line will provide more information about climate variables or observations when the mouse pointer is over one of these quantities or its checkbox to its left.
