LOCA2 Climate Analysis

Analyze climate projections for US counties using CMIP6-LOCA2 data

State

Choose a state to analyze climate projections for its counties

County

Choose a specific county within the selected state for detailed climate analysis

Climate Scenarios

SSP2-4.5

SSP3-7.0

SSP5-8.5

Select one or more climate scenarios to compare different future pathways. SSP2-4.5 represents moderate climate action, SSP3-7.0 represents limited action, and SSP5-8.5 represents high emissions growth.

Select one climate metric to analyze. Core climate metrics summarize overall climate conditions. Temperature-based metrics track daily averages, and heat and cold extremes. Precipitation metrics capture rainfall and snowfall amounts, intensity, and duration. Water cycle metrics describe the movement and storage of water.

Rolling Window (Years)

Set the rolling window size for each scenario's trend line. A larger window (e.g., 10-20 years) shows long-term trends, while a smaller window (e.g., 5 years) shows shorter-term variations.
