Climateprediction Advanced Visualization
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General
Most projects don't show you what you have achieved. Climateprediction.net is different; you can see the climate of your world evolving with the built in visualisation but there are other advanced visualistion programs that allow you to look and compare what your model is doing compared to what it did previously and to compare with other models and lots more besides.
The Climateprediction Advanced Visualistion progams are CPView and the IDL Advanced Visualisation.
[edit] CPView
CPView can be downloaded from

Descriptions of what all the buttons do can be found here.
A data index can be found here.

[edit] Which additional visualisation package to use?
They will both do quite a lot of the same things. CPView was written by a participant, Martin Sykes. The Advanced Visualisation was written by Tesella Support Services plc.
Only CPView allows you to look at unusual diagnostics (rather than than the usual Temperature, Pressure, Rainfall, Snow, and Clouds). See Data Index. Up to 5 sets of data can be displayed on a map. It also has a wider range of functions like Max, Min, further memory functions, and other features.
The Advanced Visualisation has functions for graphs of local areas and over 1 day 2 days and 7 days (as well as the more usual graphs of season and annual averages which both packages do). There are also Latitude - Height plots and Time - Height plots.
The download size is much smaller for CPView and CPView works with Windows 98.
