Would be great to see a nice visualisation tool built on top of OpenStreetMaps or something like that which allows you to see the predicted temperatures for a given location though time. Sadly this is way over my capabilities, also a 11 TB dataset is not easy to work with :(

I'm also interested in seeing the possibility of seeing projections for my area, but yes, there doesn't seem to be a good way of sifting through the data.

NASA has released detailed global climate change projections. If you would like to know what these projections are please drink from this data firehose.

I'm sure someone here is already making a visualization with the dataset.

I sure hope so because I am very very curious. Surely there are a lot of researchers that will love to jump into this data and manipulate it somehow. It's a good time to be studying climate change now... your dissertation is right here :D

Let's see if these fare any better than the projections used by the IPCC ...

"The most recent climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with model projections even at the 2% confidence level."

Kudos to them for publishing these, though. If they are rotten, it ought to be easy to tell.

If the earth is 509 million square kilometers and the granularity of the data is 25sq km this means we have about 20.3m data points. It implies then on average each point is 540mb. The dataset seems to be broken down by year rather than location though, a UX issue I'd say...
