| 17-may-2013 | Updated CMIP5 tasmin, tasmax, evspsbl, pme, taz (zonal mean air temperature) to the AR5 model set. |
| 17-may-2013 | CRU 0.5° global scPDSI now replaces the old Europe, US versions. (Due to an administrative error of mine they had disappeared for a few days.) (thanks Gerard, Ronald) |
| 14-may-2013 | GISS data were unavailable for a few days due to a corrupted ocean data file |
| 13-may-2013 | IPCC WG1 AR5 Final Draft deadline has passed. |
| 23-apr-2013 | NOTE: Changed the "frozen" March 15 dataset: ETHZ and the Met Office could not figure out what the correct data for HadGEM2-ES RCP8.5 r1i1p1 was, so we switched to HadGEM2-ES r2i1p1 for all scenarios (thanks Urs) |
| 23-apr-2013 | Fixed an error in the GPCP land/sea mask, which was not properly checked in the area-averaging routine (thanks Jouni) |
| 16-apr-2013 | The cause of yesterday's crash seems to be a course at ICTP that overwhelmed the server. Please, when using the Climate Explorer for teaching, realise that it only has 6GB of RAM, which gives an upper limit to the number of fields that can be analysed simultaneously. (ten small, low-resolution ones, only two CRU TS 0.5° fields at the same time). It is essential to tell the students not to re-try when the machine is slow, as that will bring it down completely. Contact me for more tips. I have implemented a simple `too busy' check, hope that helps next time. |
| 16-apr-2013 | The Climate Explorer froze up completely at 17:42 on 15 April 2013. The system people have rebooted it at 08:50 this morning. |
| 04-apr-2013 | The CMIP5 variables pr and tas should now correspond to the March-15 freeze for IPCC WG1 AR5 (thanks Urs) |
| 04-apr-2013 | The routine that reads data in the format "yr mo dy val" now also recognises -999.9 (thanks Janneke) |
| 29-mar-2013 | I am hitting a snag in putting the IPCC WG1 AR5 dataset in: there are 105 ensemble members for RCP4.5. This entails that I am checking and rewriting tens of scripts to be able to handle 3-digit ensemble numbers. This may take a while. |
| 29-mar-2013 | While waiting, you could read our latest article Reliability of regional climate model trends, which was made with the previous version of the dataset. |
| 26-mar-2013 | After a lot of very hard work, the ETHZ managed to define the March 15 cut-off CMIP5 dataset last night (thanks a lot Urs). I will regenerate all my data variable by variable, indicating the status by the colour of the variable on the CMIP5 page. I hope to be able to handle one or two variables per day. |
| 20-mar-2013 | CPC annular modes (AO, AAO) is again updated (thanks Michiel), HadISTT1 is again updated (thanks Tom), SPEI updated to new version (thanks Sergio) |
| 08-mar-2013 | Made my CMIP5 z500 and z200 data available. Now that I have a bit more disk space: what else do you need? |
| 05-mar-2013 | HadSST AMO indices work again. |
| 05-mar-2013 | A lot of data for February 2013 has been loaded into the Climate Explorer |
| 25-feb-2013 | Found a bug in my handling of the MOHMAT 4.3 which caused all anomalies to be rounded down to the nearest integer (thanks Leif, Bob) |
| 25-feb-2013 | Updated NCDC gridded land temperature dataset to v3.2.1 (thanks Ahira) |
| 25-feb-2013 | Updated GISTEMP gridded datasets to using ERSST instead of HadSST2/SSTOI (thanks Warwick) |
