Variations
- Access EOS-WEBSTER and select data from other states of interest.
- Compare the VEMAP model data for the years 1994 through 2003 with observed values for temperature and precipitation from the National Climate Data Center.
- Locate and analyze global data to compare climate predictions in the U.S. VEMAP model with other locations.
Other Data
New Climate Change Data!
EOS-WEBSTER is delighted to be partnered with the National Center for Atmospheric Research to distribute the NCAR datasets that are an integral component of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. This collection contains estimates of global historical climate (1870 to 2000) and four future climate change scenarios (2000 to 2100). Data are annual and decadal values at a spatial resolution of 1.40625 degrees. Variables: Air Temperature, Precipitation, Snow Depth, Solar Radiation, Surface Runoff.

Other Techniques
Dr. Carolyn Lowe's Earth Science for Educators class at Northern Michigan University used this EET chapter for a project on climate change. Each student selected a state and obtained the climatological data for that state for the years 2000 through 2100. The students compiled their results and analysis on a website: NMU MSED Climate Project.
