Hi all folks interested in climate information, I am pleased to let you know of the release of the first version of the online web service, known as the Climate Information Tool Kit or CLIK ([http://clik.apcc21.net](http://clik.apcc21.net)). CLIK wraps NCL ([http://ncl.ucar.edu](http://ncl.ucar.edu)), its computation and graphics engine, in Ruby with a front-end provided by Ruby on Rails. The product is open source, so you are free to poke around the code and adapt it for your own needs (subject to CLIK copyright policies {to be decided soon;)} , links to source code below this message) CLIK allows registered users to make a “real-time” customized Multi Model Ensemble forecast, check its skill and visualize these metrics in an easy to use web interface, powered by Google Maps API. This skill score is a simple success rate metric for the time being. CLIK is available online at [http://clik.apcc21.net](http://clik.apcc21.net). A simple registration procedure is needed before you can access the services offered. CLIK services are open to National Hydro-Meteorological Services and non-commercial research users. We would deeply appreciate your comments and suggestions. Feedback may be provided formally through the RedMine Project Management pages available at [http://210.98.49.69:8001/projects/show/clik](http://210.98.49.69:8001/projects/show/clik) or by email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. We would also appreciate feedback on additional features that may help you to make CLIK useful for your climate predictability research or forecasting. BTW, version 2.0 of CLIK to be released next year will feature a downscaling module that allows gridded forecasts to be “empirically” downscaled to stations of interest. cheers, saji p.s1: A new forecast for the coming season is made available on the 25th of each month. Thus, the forecast for April-May-June will be available on the 25th of this month. p.s2: CLIK in the news: 1.
