Jay Alder is a Physical Scientist based in Corvallis, Oregon with the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center. Jay maintains a courtesy faculty position in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University.
Jay is a climate modeler with interests in past, present and future climate change, dynamically downscaling, hydroclimate, and model visualization. He is interested in helping to make climate model information accessible and useful to other scientific disciplines seeking to incorporate future climate change projections into their own work.

Slide 7: From the right-hand side menu, the Scatter Plot allows you to visualize the spread of all the models for two variables. This can be useful in understanding the relationship between variables in the projections, such as warm-and-wet or warm-and-dry for temperature and precipitation.
