How is climate presented for data analysis?

Much of climate data analysis deals with the separation of climate signals from noise. Methods have been developed to filter out climate noise from signal, using optimal weighting of observations and simplified models of the climate system to compare climate change predictions with observed changes.

Where can I get climate change data?

What type of data is a climate graph?

A climate graph displays yearly temperature and precipitation statistics for a particular location. Temperature (oC) is measured using the numbers on the left hand side of the chart. The average temperature for each month is plotted on the graph with a red dot and the dots are then connected in a smooth, red line.

How is weather data collected in Canada?

Hourly weather conditions and other climate-related data are recorded at weather observing stations around the world. Satellites, weather balloons and other types of instruments also observe weather conditions. Daily observations may include: total rainfall.

What is climate model data?

Climate models, also known as general circulation models or GCMs, use mathematical equations to characterize how energy and matter interact in different parts of the ocean, atmosphere, land.

How do you analyze a climate graph?

Climate graphs

  1. Look at the overall shape of the graph.
  2. Look for extremes – quote the highest and lowest temperature and rainfall and the month in which it occurs.
  3. Can you identify the seasons when most rain or least rain falls?
  4. Work out the temperature range by subtracting the lowest figure from the highest figure.
