Several comments in this thread mention visualization. These data can be easily visualized with the Unidata IDV [1] (same ppl that make THREDDS). For those interested, go to the IDV dashboard, "Data Choosers" tab and enter http://dataserver3.nccs.nasa.gov/thredds/catalog/bypass/NEX-GDDP/catalog.xml http://dataserver3.nccs.nasa.gov/thredds/catalog/bypass/NEX-... for the catalog. At that point you can browse the dataset, add the data as a data source, subset it (serverside), and visualize it. I and others have made a bunch of videos of how to use the IDV[2].

I just want a single image that tells me the expected better/worse degree of change in suitability for agriculture and habitation. Maybe red would mean a lot worse than today, and green would mean a lot better. An absolute image (of today's climate) would help make sense of the deltas also.

  >expected better/worse degree of change in suitability for agriculture and habitation What kind of agriculture? Every plant species is different, and various growing techniques are suited to different conditions. What kind of habitat? Every dwelling is different, and every person has unique requirements of it. See the problem?

  http://climateinternational.org http://climateinternational.org has a set of visualizations for daily maximum temperature created from this dataset. Hopefully more visualizations will be added soon.

Trying to follow along here, but having a bit of trouble. 1. Visited https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/webstart/IDV/ https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/webstart/IDV/ 2. Got Unidata IDV running locally 3. I was then able to add the data source via URL and saw two options in "Field Selector": "Image Collection" and "Omni Control". I've tried selecting either field and clicking "Create Display", but nothing ever appears in the "Displays" tab. Would welcome further advice or more specific reference to directions among the 16 videos in your YouTube playlist. Thank you! This may be related to some of the errors[1] that seem to occur on startup of IDV. [1]https://gist.github.com/bbuchalter/dda50df626e7c4baf501 https://gist.github.com/bbuchalter/dda50df626e7c4baf501

  I found that downloading IDV at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp and not using Webstart resolved the startup errors I reported above and now I see the Map View. However, I'm still not able to get any data to render on the map. Would love help still!

    @bbuchalter Thanks for registering and downloading. We like it when our users register because we have to report usage metrics back to our NSF sponsors. Are you able to load the catalog (the .xml not .html suffix for the catalog URI) in the IDV dashboard, Data Choosers tab, and see the NCML files available at that resource?

      @julienchastang thanks for your reply. I don't believe I'm able to see the NCML files. I've put some screenshots together here in sequence: http://imgur.com/a/4oI3q#0 http://imgur.com/a/4oI3q#0 1. Add the catalog.xml in the Data Choosers 2. Select Image Collection in the Field Selector and click Create Display 3. The error I recieve when I click create display: "Unknown XML root:catalog" 4. The subsequent Image Collection screen which I'm not sure how to use. Thank you again for continuing to engage with me on this.

        @bbuchalter WRT the screenshot, you are in the URL node where you should instead be in the Catalog node.

        That worked! Thank you!
