Climate change models offer insight into future temperature, precipitation and weather extremes. Analysis tools help make sense of these models by downscaling data to the regional level and allowing users to define the scenarios, time horizons and regions that are of most interest to them. This is particularly important in B.C. where there is substantial regional variation.

This webinar introduces the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium’s latest analysis tools:

• Be among the first to test the new version of the user-friendly Plan2Adapt analysis tool designed for those less familiar with climate modelling, but interested in accessing maps and data that assess BC climate change impacts at the regional level.

• The more sophisticated Climate Explorer tool allows users to select data from a dozen global climate models, 3 GHG emissions scenarios, and many variables including temperature, precipitation, and climate indices as well as a specific time horizon and your region of interest.

Whether you are new to climate models or are looking for sophisticated analysis, you will leave this webinar knowing how to generate maps, plots, and data describing projected future climate conditions.
