The Geo Data Portal Blog provides news and updates about the Geo Data Portal (GDG), a portal that provides access to numerous climate datasets for particular areas of interest. Blog updates include information on new datasets, developments to the GDP and other such topics.
As of 11/12/2014, this report had not gone through FSP/IPDS approval process yet. An email was sent to Jaime Collazo and Adam Terando on 3/27/2015 to check to see if it had been approved yet.
Climate change is a global problem whose impacts are experienced at the local to regional scale. For this reason, the first step in assessing the impacts of climate change—on a species or an ecosystem, on water resources, or on an aspect of human society such as energy demand or agriculture—is often to develop projections of how temperature, precipitation, and other important aspects of climate might be expected to change in the future at the location of interest. Global climate models produce future climate projections that are usually too coarse to capture the local characteristics that determine climate at any given location: the proximity of that location to a large body of water, for example, which would moderate...
The USGS Geo Data Portal (GDP) project provides scientists and environmental resource managers access to downscaled climate projections and other data resources that are otherwise difficult to access and manipulate. This user interface demonstrates an example implementation of the GDP project web-service software and standards-based data integration strategy.
