Climate Data and Projections

Graph of temperature by year for the next 15 years

This digital warehouse indexes climate data and projections for metrics like temperature and precipitation for several reservations in the Great Basin and Southwestern United States. The projections are constructed from 15 climate models and two emissions scenarios and go through the year 2100. The predictive data shows increases in temperature at all the reservations, plus various changes in precipitation (ie: wetter in northern locations and drier in southern locations) and precipitation extremes (ie: floods and droughts).
