**Curriculum Module**

_Created with R2024a. Compatible with R2024a and later releases._

# Information

This curriculum module contains interactive [MATLAB® live scripts](https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/live-editor.html) that teach the basics of how to import, visualize, and analyze climate data using MATLAB.

## Background

You can use these live scripts as demonstrations in lectures, class activities, or interactive assignments outside class. This module covers importing, visualizing, and analyzing data. It also includes examples of analyzing temperature anomaly data and Arctic sea ice data, as well as using multispectral imaging data to characterize drought in Northern California.

The instructions inside the live scripts will guide you through the exercises and activities. Get started with each live script by running it one section at a time. To stop running the script or a section midway (for example, when an animation is in progress), use the  Stop button in the **RUN** section of the **Live Editor** tab in the MATLAB Toolstrip.

## Contact Us

Contact the [MathWorks teaching resources team](mailto:[email protected]) if you would like to provide feedback, or if you have a question.

## Prerequisites

This module assumes you have a basic understanding of MATLAB. If you do not, consider completing [MATLAB Onramp](https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/matlab-onramp/gettingstarted) before starting this module.

## Getting Started

### Accessing the Module

### **On MATLAB Online:**

Use the [](https://matlab.mathworks.com/open/github/v1?repo=MathWorks-Teaching-Resources/Climate-Data-Visualization-and-Analysis&project=ClimateVis.prj) link to download the module. You will be prompted to log in or create a MathWorks account. The project will be loaded, and you will see an app with several navigation options to get you started.

### **On Desktop:**

Download or clone this repository. Open MATLAB, navigate to the folder containing these scripts and double\-click on [ClimateVis.prj](ClimateVis.prj). It will add the appropriate files to your MATLAB path and open an app that asks you where you would like to start. 

Ensure you have all the required products (listed below) installed. If you need to include a product, add it using the Add\-On Explorer. To install an add\-on, go to the **Home** tab and select   **Add-Ons** > **Get Add-Ons**. 

## Products

MATLAB® is used throughout. Tools from Image Processing Toolbox™, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™, and Curve Fitting Toolbox™ are used as well.
