GeoCLIM Overview
GeoCLIM
The GeoCLIM is a spatial analysis tool designed for climatological analysis of historical rainfall and temperature data. The GeoCLIM provides non-scientists with an array of accessible analysis tools for climate-smart agricultural development. These user friendly tools can be used to obtain and analyze climate data, blend station data with satellite data to create more accurate datasets, analyze seasonal trends and/or historical climate data, create visual representations of climate data, create scripts (batch files) to quickly and efficiently analyze similar “batches” of climate data, view and/or edit shapefiles and raster files, and extract statistics from raster datasets to create time series.

GeoCLIM data download requires ftp address changes
The ftp address used for downloading CHIRPS data has changed.
To update download information, go to the GeoCLIM dataset definition window and change Remote Host to ftp://ftp.chc.ucsb.edu and then in the Remote Directory, change the chg to chc.
To get to the Dataset definition window, Open GeoCLIM and choose File > Edit > Dataset Definition and then select Edit next to the Precipitation Dataset selection. If you use other CHIRPS datasets, then you should update the address for all the sets that you use.
Example of changes for CHIRPS_PPT_AFRICA_DEKADAL:
