Abstract
Tools for visualization of climate data have been developed specifically for scientists and professionals in climatology but more recently, there is need for interpretation of results from simulated and modeled climate data useful for different stakeholders. Various experts (climate scientist, water resources engineer, agricultural engineer, hydrologist, gender specialist, economics experts and computer scientist) worked together in understanding and solving problems pertaining to climate, crop, and economic modeling. In this paper, we present a climate data visualization tool developed to allow interactive display of maps as per multi-dimensional data sets from multiple parameters of climate data as per needs of different stakeholders.
