Climate Engine is a set of tools developed by scientists from the Desert Research Institute, University of California Merced, and Google and is powered by Google Earth Engine. Climate Engine empowers users of all technical proficiencies to harness the power of cloud computing to analyze decades of Earth Observations data. Collectively, the Web App, API, and Reports are a powerful set of tools that bring together climate and remote sensing data to allow users to answer various environmental questions. This allows decision makers and researchers to spend less time wrangling data and more time deriving insights. With the addition of the US EPA Total Deposition Layers (TDep) to the Awesome GEE Community Catalog, Climate Engine now makes the gridded data available through its Web App and API, allowing users to generate anomaly, trend, and percentile maps as well as timeseries for specific areas of interest. This talk will share about Climate Engine and how to use the Climate Engine tools to access, analyze, and visualize the TDep data.
