1. Online Climate Data Visualisation/Analysis Tools
Climate Explorer: Very useful resource for anyone interested in climate data, lots of dataset access and many different analysis features.
The Climate Reanalyser: Allows plotting of some very nice figures and has some limited analysis features.
IRI/LDEO Climate Library: Very useful data access/subsetting. Can also do some analysis before you download.
Web-based Reanalysis Intercomparison Tool: Very useful resource for data extraction, analysis and plots.
Giovanni: Haven’t used but seems like a useful data source.
Woodfortrees: Basic time-series stuff for popular datasets.
IDV: Haven't used this personally but seems useful.
Understanding the Forecast: Online climate related models
2. Software Etc
CDO: Climate Data Operators, NETCDF processing and analysis.
NCAR Graphics: Visualisation and Analysis
Grads: Visualisation and Analysis
ETCCDI: Homogenisation and Climate Extremes software (for R)
Panoply: NETCDF visualisation software
PAST: Free software (time-series, wavelets etc, with a focus on palaeo-data analysis)
XLSTAT: Excel Add In
Veusz: Cool python plots without having to code, easy to use
EdGCM: Run your own climate model
Trend Change Identifier: software for finding the best change points in a timeseries
Spectra / KSpectra: For SSA and similar analysis
GeoMapApp: Maps etc
Eureqa: Interesting regression model
Curveexpert: Fits model to data from a variety of options
Hiphop: IDL-based GUI Graphics
Extreme Weather & Climate: Not tried this but looks interesting
UVCDAT: Visualisation
GMT: Generic Mapping Tools
Mendeley: A reference manager worth the intial time investment in setting up
PyNcView: Neat python plots (no coding needed)
Lyx: LaTeX GUI
Correlation Significance Calculator: Simple to use (take heed of warnings about autocorrelation/non normally distributed data!)
3. Climate Data Access
Climate Data Guide: Authoritative guide to the main climate datasets
Climate Data Online (US Govt.) / ECA&D: Good station data resource
ERDDAP: Very good source of satellite data (ocean colour/ scatterometry/ altimetry etc)
NOAA Palaeo-Links: Analyseries (for mac) and some of the others are good
List of LAS Servers: (Some links don’t work)
APDRC Data Plotter / APDRC Database:
Pangaea / NOAA: Palaeo-data needed? It will probably be here
GISS / HADCRUT / NCDC / BEST / CW / UAH / RSS: The five main global SAT products and two main satellite troposphere records
Snow / Sea Level 1 2 / Sea Ice / Clouds / Aerosols / TSI + Sunspots / ENSO: Generally important variables
Ocean Heat Content: Probably the most important global warming variable
HADISST / ERSST and OISST / ICOADS 1x1degree 2x2degree: SST products
ERA-Interim / CFSR / NCEP/NCAR / 20CR / MERRA / JRA55: Global Atmospheric Reanalyses
GODAS / SODA / ORAS4: Global Ocean Reanalyses
Environment Canada ETCCDI Indices (CMIP3/5, Reanalyses): From Silmann et al. 2013
ICDC: Multiple data access
WGMS: World Glacier Monitoring Service
Advancing Reanalysis: Collaborative Wiki devoted to atmospheric reanalyses
