The Climate Data Analysis tool comprises fundamental elements for analyzing climate data. These essential components will help simplify complex data by providing useful visualizations, statistical metrics and allowing for more seamless workflow for users working with climate data.
CDAT-Lite aims to compliment CDAT by emphasizing its core data management and analysis components. Moreover, CDAT-Lite offers a drastically different installation system compared to CDAT. As a result, CDAT-Lite is much more lightweight - hence its name. In comparison, CDAT's source distribution is around 1Gb, while CDAT-Lite is less than 5Mb.
If you're worried that CDAT-Lite skimps on features, don't be! It still boasts many powerful capabilities, including data manipulation, visualization, and analysis. Plus, if you're familiar with CDAT, you'll be able to jump right into using CDAT-Lite without skipping a beat.
All in all, if you want a more streamlined and lightweight option for managing and analyzing climate science data, CDAT-Lite may be the perfect choice for you.
