software that performs climate model evaluation using model outputs from a variety of different sources (the Earth System Grid Federation, the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment, the U.S. National Climate Assessment and the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program) and temporal/spatial scales with remote sensing data from NASA, NOAA and other agencies. The toolkit includes capabilities for rebinning, metrics computation and visualization. 9/8/16 ESIP Tech Dive 12
those that in turn use NASA JPL’s Regional Climate Modeling and Evaluation System (RCMES). RCMES provides us with several tutorials and examples which demonstrate what OCW can be used for.
