Tools are available to help you manage your climate-related risks and opportunities, and to help guide you in building resilience to extreme events. Browse the list below, or filter by topic and/or tool functionality in the boxes above. To expand your results, click the Clear Filters link.

Advanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC)

ADCIRC is a system of computer programs for solving time dependent, free surface circulation and transport problems in two and three dimensions. These programs utilize the finite element method in space allowing the use of highly flexible, unstructured grids.

Climate Explorer

Explore climate projections for any county in the contiguous United States or borough in Alaska. Compare maps of past and projected conditions for coming decades. Consult historical records to see when weather has veered outside of normal climate.

Climate Toolbox

This collection of web tools designed for agriculture, drought, and fire management allows users to visualize past and projected climate and hydrology over the contiguous United States.

Coastal Resilience Evaluation and Siting Tool (CREST)

Planners and natural resource managers can use this web tool to make informed decisions about the siting of restoration and resilience projects.

Emergency Assessment of Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazards

Access assessments for post-fire debris-flow hazards related to select fires in the western United States.

Explore Climate Impacts

This interactive map—a companion to the Adaptation Workbook—lets you see how climate change may affect different regions and ecosystems in the U.S.

J-SCOPE (JISAO’s Seasonal Coastal Ocean Prediction of the Ecosystem)

Marine managers can use this site's forecasts to support the California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA). Results provide forecast indicators requested by the Pacific Fishery Management Council.

National Marine Ecosystem Status (NaMES)

This website provides data on major marine ecosystem indicators, capturing the status and trends of seven U.S. ecosystem regions, as well as an overall national status. It also directs users to more detailed sources of NOAA data and information.

Northwest Climate Data Resources

This compilation of user-contributed data resources can help natural and cultural resource managers research and plan responses to the challenges of climate change in the Pacific Northwest.

Ocean Ecosystem Indicators

Marine managers can use information from this site to help them forecast salmon returns in the northern California Current, and to build their understanding of how variations in ocean conditions might affect recruitment of fish stocks, seabirds, and other marine animals.

OceanReports

Draw a custom area anywhere in U.S. waters or pick from a predefined list of locations to get instant custom reports that include descriptive infographics and supporting data for offshore planning, permitting, environmental review, and public relations.
