Climate Engine API

Background

This training session, led by the Climate Engine team, covered utilizing Climate Engine Tools for reporting and decision support. Climate Engine Tools provide access to 90+ datasets including fractional vegetation cover (RAP, RCMAP, etc.) and drought indices and leverage cloud computing to allow users to easily create maps, charts, and reports. This two-hour introductory session focused on foundational information, hands-on demos, and decision-support workflows tailored to BLM uses.

Training Session Outcomes:

  • Attendees will know what Climate Engine Tools are available to them and when they would use each
  • Attendees will know how to access and produce Climate Engine reports
  • Attendees will know how to use the App to create maps and graphs
  • Attendees will better understand the datasets available to them and how to use them
  • Attendees will know how to use the App as part of a practical decision-support workflow
  • Attendees will know how to attend future thematic sessions on 1) riparian and wetland systems, 2) upland ecosystems, and 3) drought and vegetation productivity
  • Attendees will know where to find support resources
