In this exercise you will be working with global climate model output from the Community Earth System Model (CESM) in order to map possible future precipitation change by the middle of the 21st century as well as future drought. 

Technical skills you will learn:

  • Navigating the ArcMap interface.
  • Working with multidimensional data.
  • Working with the Time Slider. 
  • Exporting an animation of future drought.
