Frías M.D., Iturbide M., Manzanas R., Bedia J., Fernández J., Herrera S., Cofiño A.S., Gutiérrez J.M.

visualizeR is an R package for climate data visualization, with special focus on ensemble forecasting and uncertainty communication. It includes functions for visualizing climatological, forecast and evaluation products, and combinations of them.

This package is part of the climate4R bundle, formed by loadeR, transformeR, downscaleR and visualizeR.

This wiki provides an up-to-date description of the package functionalities, with some worked examples:

  1. Requirements and Installation
  2. Spatial visualization
  3. Time series visualization
  4. Probabilistic visualization
  5. Seasonal predictions and verification
