The Climate Commons Team is excited to announce the release of a new online tool "California Climate and Hydrology Change Graphs" to make exploring downscaled historical and projected climate and hydrology data simple and easy. 

 

The tool generates graphs depicting change over time from 156 watersheds using the California Basin Characterization Model (BCM). Four climate scenarios are presented to demonstrate a range of possible futures, allowing the user to see differences between them and compare to historical trends. 

 

The graphs can be used directly in a report or publication, and the data for the chosen region may also be downloaded, a few hundred kilobytes compared to the multi-terabyte full dataset!

 

This project is a partnership of the CA LCC, Point Blue Conservation Science, and the USGS Water Science Center with funding from the Southwest Climate Science Center. If you find this resource useful, please let us know at team@climate.calcommons.org!
