Forests in Cities Climate Tool
By Jeffrey A. Clark
What is this tool? The tool below uses summarized data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to help users visualize changes in climate variables – including maximum temperature and precipitation – over time. This no code approach to figure creation allows for individuals to create custom figures for a broad range of variables.
How to use this tool: Select the city and location you are interested in from the pull down menu. Use the other drop down menus and text boxes to customize the layout of the graph. Download data or the figure you created using the buttons at the bottom of the tool. More information on the data can be found by clicking the “more information” button below.
