1. Welcome to a tour of the Scenarios Website www.cics.uvic.ca/scenarios PLEASE NOTE: This tour does NOT currently reflect several recent enhancements to the website. Please visit the New page for details.

2. Summary of Material Available on Scenarios Website laypersons primer on scenarios science detailed scenarios background information scenario visualization (maps) scenario data download scenario tools data and plots derived from scenarios www.cics.uvic.ca/scenarios FOR MORE INFO...

3. The website is bilingual

4. Navigate to main sections via left bar

5. Non-technical primer available

6. The primer provides an overview of climate, models, scenarios and impacts

7. To visualize or download scenario data, register then log in

8. More Info section provides further technical details which will be of interest to users of scenario data

9. To access scenarios, you can choose to either View Maps or Download Data

10. The next step is to choose the specific experiment (SRES experiments now available)

11. Finally, choose type of map, time of year, variable, scenario time period and whether or not to display data over the ocean

12. You may view scenarios either (a) stepwise colourmap with mouseover display of data, latitude and longitude, or...

13. (b) you may view scenarios on a continuous colourmap

14. You may download data and longitude, latitude, land/sea mask, and zip files containing all data from an experiment

15. Scenario tools – scatter plots may be plotted for any one or two variables to compare projections for a given time and location from several models

16. Scenario tools – SDSM data available through the website may be used for downscaling

17. Data and plots derived from scenarios – bio-climate profiles (climate projections at stations), Climate Severity Index (projections of climate comfort for layperson), and data from several other sources outside of the CCIS project

18. Feedback is encouraged so we may improve the site
