APEC Climate Center CLIK On-line Climate Informaon Toolkit

hp://clik.apcc21.net • Web-based tool for data retrieval and climate predicon

• Customized 3-MON Mul- Model Ensemble Predicon

• Produce over 1,200 MME Predicon & 600 Verificaon results by user requests

• 3,882 visited CLIK came from 497 cies since March 2009 and the vising count is connuously increasing*

Customized MME Prediction/Verification Page (Main page)

* Logged by Google Analytics service (http://www.google.com/analytics)

APEC Climate Center CLIK On-line stascal downscaling feature

• User can upload/modify their own observation data for downscaling though CLIK

• CLIK provides customized downscaling feature, so user can select conditions for each downscaling

Selecting stations for downscaling

• CLIK generates downscaling result based on user’s selecon with user’s observaon data and MME data which many instuons contributed

• User can recognize which staons data and MME data are reasonable for downscaling of specified area through the result Downscaling result for each station

APEC Climate Center CLIK Data Library

• User can find the dataset period, the list of available variables, the model designaon and the ensemble number of each dynamical model

• View the all available informaon for the model provider of APCC and admin can update the model dataset through the updang funconality in this page

• Registered user also are able to download hindcast data of individual models

Model list and hindcast data download
