Climate Explorer: Help overview

Help overview

I am building a help system for the Climate Explorer. New users are adviced to study the examples. There is also a presentation available that gives an overview of the system.

In the Climate Explorer pages, the symbol indicates a help pop-up. Below an alphabetical list of these pop-ups is given. Please contact me if the help text is confusing, or missing in a place where it is needed.
