CLIMPROB
type: Concept
definition: ClimProb is a java based climate analysis application which has a variety of tools available to view and examine weather related data sets. Users define a time period from a choice of over 800 stations located throughout the United States. Once the user has chosen a state and station to analyze, the time period of interest is defined. The user then selects a type ... of analyses to be performed: temperature, precipitation, or degree days. From the user specified information, Climprob produces a table with the left side showing a chronological series of values and the right side showing a probability distribution of the data. The bottom of the tables also show the mean value of the data, the standard deviation, the slope, and the intercept of the data. Once a table of data has been generated, ClimProb can graphically display the data. Data can be displayed in three types of graphs at the users discretion: a time series, a probability distribution, or a histogram. The web site also includes links to a variety of classroom lessons that incorporate the use of ClimProb. The lessons were developed by K-16 teachers and have been partitioned into elementary, middle, and college-level activities.
