From the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF):
The EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by ECMWF, has provided new tools to make it easier for users to explore how the climate has been changing and how it could change in the future.
They include the Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas, which enables data from a variety of sources and over various timeframes to be visualised, and Climate Pulse, a tool for climate change images intended mainly for the media.

The EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by ECMWF, has provided new tools to make it easier for users to explore how the climate has been changing and how it could change in the future.
They include the Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas, which enables data from a variety of sources and over various timeframes to be visualised, and Climate Pulse, a tool for climate change images intended mainly for the media.
The updates come at a time of unprecedented global temperatures over the last year according to C3S data: the last twelve months have been the world’s warmest on record, and they include the warmest month on record.

C3S has also developed a download and visualisation tool for current and historical data, intended mainly for the media. Called Climate Pulse, it enables journalists and others to easily download the latest information for air temperature and sea temperature.
ERA5 data are made available for different timeframes and in different visualisations. “This interactive web application is currently in its beta release, and C3S is keen to further improve it,” Carlo says.
More information on Climate Pulse is available on the C3S website.
