The flexible Climate Data Analysis Tools (CDAT) for multi-model climate simulation data

Being able to incorporate, inspect, and analyze data with newly developed technologies, diagnostics, and visualizations in an easy and flexible way has been a longstanding challenge for scientists interested in understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic empirical assessment of multi-model climate output. To improve research ability and productivity, these technologies and tool must be made easily available to help scientists understand and solve complex scientific climate changes. To increase productivity and ease the challenges of incorporating new tools into the hands of scientists, the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) developed the Climate Data Analysis Tools (CDAT). CDAT is an application fo
