Scenarios Network for Alaska + Arctic Planning (SNAP) Tools

Description

This website hosts a variety of tools to support climate science and data exploration for the state of Alaska and the Arctic. 

Available tools include:

  • Community Charts, used to explore temperature and precipitation histories and projections for thousands of communities across Alaska and Canada.
  • Daily Precipitation helps users analyze historical and projected daily precipitation amounts for communities across Alaska.
  • Extreme Weather explores CMIP5 quantile-mapped daily data to analyze the frequency of extreme daily temperature and wind events from 1958 and projected through 2100.
  • Historical Sea Ice Atlas permits users to view historical sea ice data collected between 1850 and the present on an interactive map depicting the seas off northern Alaska.
  • Modeled Sea Ice Coverage allows users to explore and visualize various models of historical and projected arctic sea ice extent and concentration through 2099.
  • Regional Climate Projections uses an interactive map for browsing and comparing climate scenarios created from SNAP data.
  • Sea Ice and Wind lets users examine projected interactions between monthly sea ice concentrations and extreme wind events.
