Bridging History and Climate Science - ClimeApp: Data processing tool for the ModE-RA Global Climate Reanalysis

ClimeApp is a newly developed web-based processing tool for the state-of-the-art ModE-RA climate reanalysis. It presents temperature, precipitation and pressure reconstructions with global coverage and monthly resolution over the last 600 years. The app allows integration of historical information with climate data through composite, correlation and regression functions. The ModE project itself contains not one, but three experiments - ModE-RA, ModE-Sim and ModE-RAclim – all accessible through the app. These integrate a huge array of source material and allow the separation of the effects of external and internal forcing on the climate system in unprecedented ways. The app is designed to allow quick data processing for climatologists and easy use for non-climatologists. Specifically, it aims to help bring climate into history, where climatological data still has huge potential to advance historical research. This poster demonstrates the functions and applications of ClimeApp and the ModE-RA reanalysis. It also summarises opportunities for creating similar interfaces in other disciplines.
