OzClim - Climate change scenarios for Australia

OzClim is a climate scenario generator for Australia that simplifies the process of calculating future climate change for application to impact models. It is a PC-based software tool developed by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research in collaboration with the International Global Change Institute (IGCI), University of Waikato and is based on the CLIMPACTS model developed by IGCI for New Zealand

OzClim features a graphical user interface and point and click technology for ease of use, fast calculations and visualisation capabilities. This system allows comparison of output from a range of global climate models and construction of future climate change scenarios for risk assessment. The ability to ‘plug in’ impact models into OzClim and run a given model multiple times with different scenarios are further advantages of the software
