Data Analytics in Climate Change Studies

Abstract

The observed trends of climate change have wide ramifications to the sustainability of a normal lifestyle. The application of data analysis techniques can increase the knowledge around climate studies while introducing additional research methods. The proposed research showcases the development of a novel data analytics framework to address the gap in data modeling for the comparison of climate model data and observational data. A detailed data pipeline for data collection, extraction, wrangling, analysis, and visualization is discussed. The practical implementation of the framework is presented through a visualization tool, Weather Analysis Regional Model, to aid researchers and practitioners in their analysis of climate data.
