The Climate Explorer is an interactive tool providing graphs, maps, and downloadable data of observed and projected climate conditions for every county in all 50 states and U. S. territories. The climate projection graphs for temperature, precipitation, and related climate variables include ranges of climate model results for two possible future scenarios—one in which humans make a significant attempt to reduce global emissions of heat-trapping gases and one in which the rate of global emissions continues rising through 2100.
NEMAC co-developed the Climate Explorer with our partner Fernleaf and a group of federal science agencies led by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Program Office.
