NEMAC - Climate Explorer: Climate Maps [About]
- Context
- High Emission (RCP8.5) and Low Emission (RCP4.5)
- Projects yearly from 2020 - 2090
- Based on CMIP5 (temperature based on 1950 to 2010 data, precipitation based on 1961 to 1990 data)
- Interactive map and graph showing temperature (days > XF), precipitation (total, dry days, days > X”), other (heating degree days, cooling degree days, …)
- Context
-
NEMAC - Climate Explorer: Historical Weather Data
- Historical temperature and precipitation data from weather stations
-
ProPublica - New Climate Maps Show a Transformed United States (2020)
- Context
- High Emission (RCP 8.5) and partial Moderate Emission
- Projects range of ~2040 - 2060
- Multiple sources mostly based on research papers
- US map charting niche (ideal temperature and precipitation), heat (weeks > 95F), wet bulb temps (days), wildfires (yearly), sea level rise, farm crop yield, economic damage
- Table with breakdown for all US counties
- Context
-
Psychrometry Chart
- Can be used to translate between dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures
