Climatology Toolbox

Climatologists have developed a number of tools to analyze climate data. The results appear in many forms, such as a summary table, probability tables, a new algorithm (method) for solving a particular problem, and so on.

In this feature of the Indiana Climate Page, you will discover some of the methods and results climatologists use to respond to everyday questions about Indiana climate.

The list of tools here will grow steadily over time. Check back on your next visit to see what new items have been added.
