• Changes in average weather conditions that persist over multiple decades or longer. Climate change encompasses both increases and decreases in temperature, as well as shifts in precipitation, changing risk of certain types of severe weather events, and changes to other features of the climate system.

• Natural changes in climate that fall within the observed range of extremes for a particular region, as measured by temperature, precipitation, and frequency of events. Drivers of climate variability include the El Niño Southern Oscillation and other phenomena.

• A weather event that is rare at a particular place and time of year, including, for example, heat waves, cold waves, heavy rains, periods of drought and flooding, and severe storms.

• An episode of abnormally high rain or snow. The definition of "extreme" is a statistical concept that varies depending on location, season, and length of the historical record.

• A capability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant multi-hazard threats with minimum damage to social well-being, the economy, and the environment.

Besides the GLOBE Visualization Tool, there are many other tools to visualize weather data. These visualization products enable teachers and students to access archived, and Real Time Data for the purposes of research and presentations.

Using real-time or near real-time satellite imagery and computer visualizations, the "USOAR Experience" engages participants in a view of space to Earth from a virtual Geoscience and Remote Sensing Orbiting Laboratory space platform orbiting Planet Earth. Developed by GLOBE Scientist Peter Dorofy, the "USOAR Experience" enables participants to interact with Geoscience datasets and imagery at their fingertips as collected through Earth Orbiting Satellites and other visual media. Earthbound investigators can also contribute in-situ data providing ground validation from the Earth-to-space perspective.

Important: The "USOAR Experience" requires Oculus Rift goggles for the augmented reality experience, however participants can engage in a 2D experience using the Unity Web Player and a mouse. Please note that the 2D exprience must be run on Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera browsers.
