The World Data Center for Paleoclimatology in Boulder distributes several
software packages for use on an As-Is basis: we cannot provide any support
nor can we guarantee the software's performance. We encourage authors of any
software of interest to the paleoclimatic community to contribute their
software for distribution on this page. Please
contact us for more information.

AnalySeries
MacIntosh time series analysis tool by Didier Paillard, LSCE.
The latest version of AnalySeries is compatible with Mac OSX and is available at the
LSCE website. The software is posted as a stuffit archive (.zip) file. The file can be downloaded,
then opened with Stuffit Expander (a free utility available at http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/).
For further information please contact Didier Paillard (didier.paillard@lsce.ipsl.fr).
Previous versions (v.1.*) formerly distributed here by WDC Paleo are not compatible
with current Mac operating systems.

ANOVA
(Analysis Of Variance). Tingley (2012) Bayesian ANOVA Scheme for Calculating
Climate Anomalies. Matlab code for two-factor (location and year) analysis-of-variance
model for the calculation of climate anomalies, in which the reference interval is
specified as the full length of the dataset. This scheme avoids the affects of shorter
(e.g. 1961-1990) reference intervals on the temporal evolution of the spatial
standard deviation of climate anomalies.

Arand Time series and spectral
analysis software package written by Philip Howell at Brown University. The
software allows the user to assign time to depth from an age model, interpolate
data at an even time step, perform spectral and cross-spectral analysis, and
filter data.

Atlantic Abyssal Circulation Model Code
Marchal and Curry (2008) Fortran code to calculate abyssal circulation in the
Atlantic Ocean utilizing hydrographic or paleoceanographic input parameters.
|
|
BARCAST
(Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time).
Tingley and Huybers (2009) Matlab code uses a hierarchical Bayesian model
to assimilate both proxy and instrumental data sets, and estimate the
probability distribution of all model parameters and the climate field
through time on a regular spatial grid.

C2
Those interested in software for developing transfer functions or plotting stratigraphic
diagrams may want to look at a new Windows program, C2, written by Steve Juggins at
Newcastle University. C2 is free to download and use but the data analysis and graphics
functions are restricted to a maximum number of 75 samples. A license file that removes
this restriction must be purchased to use C2 with larger datasets.

HIBAL
Hydrologic Isotopic Balance Model for Paleolake Systems. Benson and Paillet (2002)
FORTRAN code for a simple hydrologic-isotopic-balance model for application to paleolake
d18O records. Inputs to the model include discharge, on-lake precipitation,
evaporation, and the d18O values of these fluid fluxes.

MapPad (for Microsoft Windows) is a program
with which you save your site and associated text information to a simple text
file, and then display it by clicking points on a map. Continental and regional
maps are provided.

PaleoVu
(Version 1.0 for Macintosh and Windows 3.1) is a complete browse and
visualization tool for all types of paleoclimate and paleoecological data.
Point and click to create queries, list site information, display or plot
variables and data, or export the data for further processing and analysis.
Note:
PaleoVu is no longer maintained or supported. Data content is not being updated,
and compatibility problems may exist with newer operating systems. PaleoVu is
still suitable as a teaching tool, but our internet-based browsing tools are
the most up to date source for paleoclimatic data.

PalyHelp
A suite of six programs from L.J.
Maher, Jr. at the University of Wisconsin. Includes programs for solving
Mosimann's equations for confidence limits, and programs for solving and
testing pollen concentration data. These programs run on Microsoft Windows,
but the (Basic) source code is also available.

|
RedFit
RedFit software estimates red-noise spectra directly from unevenly spaced time series,
without requiring interpolation.
|
|
ShowTime
(Version 0.6 for Microsoft Windows, data file updated 6 April 1998) is an
animation that displays the distribution through space and time of individual
pollen taxa. Currently, data are available only for North America for the
past 15ka B.P. (Click the icon to download. The size of the self-extracting
executable file is approximately 1.7 Mbytes.)
|
|
SiteSeer
(Version 1.1 for Microsoft Windows) for browsing the contents of a pollen
database, displaying summary information and summary pollen diagrams.

Stomatal Index-CO2 Statistics
Beerling et al. (2009) MATLAB code for estimating ancient atmospheric CO2
and confidence intervals from leaf Stomatal Index (SI) proxy data.
|
|
VS-Lite
Vaganov-Shashkin-Lite Model of Tree-Ring Width. A simple, efficient, process-based forward model
of tree-ring growth, requires as inputs only latitude and monthly temperature and precipitation.
