The Apache Open Climate Workbench Project has graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a Top-Level Project (TLP), says the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Open Climate Workbench software is released under the Apache License v2.0.

Apache Climate is a climate evaluation toolkit used to leverage model outputs from organizations such as the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF), the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA), and the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP), coupled with remote sensing data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other agencies.
