A number of Data Library-based analyses have been compiled for quick reference in a section of the IRI website called the Map Rooms. The majority of these maps and analyses are linked directly to the Data Library and serve as another point of access to it. Most of the contents in the Map Rooms are analyses that are useful in climate diagnostics and monitoring efforts, but an increasing number are being created to serve climate-dependent sectors as well. For example, we have developed analyses for the Malaria Early Warning System (MEWS) indicating the frequency of occurrence of conditions suitable for malaria transmission (See Figure). Data Library tools are continually developed for interdisciplinary research and are available to users who wish to create interfaces that meet the needs of particular problems within sectors, such as agriculture or water resources.
