This is a collection of visualisation resources that I have found useful to communicate different aspects of weather and climate science. Please suggest additions!
Observations
– Climate spirals (Ed Hawkins) (& translated into several languages or alternative versions)
– Global temperatures with seasonal cycle (NASA)
– 160 years of sea level pressure observations (Philip Brohan)
– Weather of 2015 (EUMETSAT)
– Global temperature small multiple maps (Ed Hawkins)
– Keeling curve of carbon dioxide (Scripps) (& longer context from NOAA)
– Interactive weather in real time (Earth NullSchool)
– Arctic: ice age animation (NASA), sea ice animations (Zack Labe)
– Global sea level (Emma Reed)
Reconstructions
– Hurricanes in the Caribbean (Washington Post)
– Paleo-temperature reconstruction (xkcd)
– Weather in a reanalysis: 2013, 1936 (Philip Brohan)
– Aerosols in a reanalysis (NASA)
Simulations
– What is a climate model (IPSL)
– Animation of sea surface temperature (GFDL)
– Weather in a GCM (CCSM)
Attribution
– What’s warming the world? (Bloomberg & NASA)
Amusing
– ClimateAdam on YouTube (Adam Levy)
– Cold weather (xkcd)
Artistic
– Climate change data as art (Jill Pelto)
– Global temperature change as music (Daniel Crawford)
– Haiku: IPCC AR5 (Greg Johnson), paleoclimate (Jeremy Hoffman)
– Sea level rise in the Marshall Islands (Emma Reed)
Slightly more technical resources
– Southern Ocean processes (ARCCSS)
Great idea. I appreciate the work you have done on this.
I would like to see some infor about climate change in Romania
I have been working with and researching the Ecological Footprint (60% carbon footprint globally) for a decade. Base on this tool, a visual message can be portrayed in planet earths, or on a map in global hectares. Excellent communication tool when referring to carbon emissions, as, how does one visualize a ton of carbon (I have seen balloons and house size attempts) Check out a sample display in “How Many Planets?” https://0urnearfuture.wordpress.com/academic/
an animation by myself, using screenshots from earth.nullschool.org:

an interesting and revealing video combining various sources for historical CO² data

Your job is great. I would like to ask whether there are relevant data in China.
