C3S Atlas

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Interactive Atlas enables flexible exploration and analysis of past and future climate monitoring and change information using data from the observational, reanalysis and climate change projection datasets available in the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS).

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a climate variable, region, dataset, scenario and time period.
  • Explore observational, reanalysis and climate-projection information.
  • Compare past, present and future climate conditions across spatial scales.

Output

  • Interactive climate maps and graphs.
  • Climate datasets and indicators.
  • Results ranging from local information to countries and subcontinental regions.

Use it to

  • Explore observed and projected climate change.
  • Compare climate conditions across regions, scenarios and time periods.
  • Support initial climate-risk and vulnerability assessments.
  • Build a climate evidence base for adaptation studies.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Provides flexible access to global climate monitoring and projection information available through the Copernicus Climate Data Store. It is useful for technical users who need to compare datasets, scenarios and spatial scales, but interpreting the outputs requires substantial climate expertise and the tool does not provide exposure, vulnerability or adaptation-option analysis.

Used in

  • Global and European climate analysis using Copernicus Climate Change Service datasets.
  • Exploration of temperature, precipitation, drought, fire-weather, wind, cold and snow indicators.
  • Climate evidence supporting assessments from local to global scales.
  • Use by authorities, researchers, businesses and consultants.
