Aug 2024: What's New in the Toolbox

Recent changes to the Toolbox:

  • Seasonal forecast models have been updated to the current operation NMME models. CanCM4i has been replaced with CanESM5. GEM5-NEMO has been replaced by GEM5.2-NEMO. GFDL_SPEAR and NCAR_CESM1 have been added. We now have 7 seasonal forecast models in the toolbox. 
  • We have had to remove the Drought Recovery Tool due to a problem with the UCLA VIC data stream that is not fixable. This product is not being maintained due to Dennis Lettenmaier retiring within the year. We are going to figure out how to replace the data stream to bring the Drought Recovery Tool back to the toolbox.
  • You can now add the annual timeseries for a specific CMIP5 model to the Future Time Series tool. From 'Choose Data', just click the checkbox for 'add model time series'. 
  • A report of all available seasonal and annual data can now be made in the Future Climate Scenarios tool. You just need to click the buttons for 'Add all seasonal metrics to report' or 'Add all annual metrics to report'
  • A 'Climate Scenarios' workflow was added to the Applications in the Climate Toolbox. This workflow can be accessed in the tool by clicking the APPLICATIONS menu at the top of the tool and selection 'Climate Scenario Workflow'.
  • Saving of the data table in CSV format is now possible in the Future Climate Scatter tool. Once recording data is 'On' in the Scenario Table Results section of the tool, clicking a point on the graph will add data to the table. You can save the table by clicking the button labeled 'Save Table (CSV)'.
