NCS Portal Dashboard
http://www.climate.gov
Just as a dashboard gives instant information on the status
of a vehicle’s various systems, NOAA’s Global Climate
Dashboard presents an overview of the current state of
Earth’s climate system in historical context.
The Dashboard is designed for people seeking a synoptic
view about what we know about climate variability and
change, particularly policy leaders.
Adjustable sliders up top allow users to focus on the time
period of interest.
Hover cursor over graphs to produce brief “tool-tip” snippets
stating what each parameter is showing.
Click on graphs to jump to more detailed landing pages with
more details produced in a popular style.
Future plans include:
- Adding future climate scenarios out to 2100.
- Making graphs more interactive, using MultiGraph
- Rewriting Dashboard as an appliance that can be
syndicated / hosted by others.
