Abstract
Climate science is highly interdisciplinary by nature, so understanding interactions between
Earth processes inherently warrants the use of analytical software that can operate across the disciplines of
Earth science. Toward this end, we present the Climate Data Toolbox for MATLAB, which contains more
than 100 functions that span the major climate-related disciplines of Earth science. The toolbox enables
streamlined, entirely scriptable workflows that are intuitive to write and easy to share. Included are
functions to evaluate uncertainty, perform matrix operations, calculate climate indices, and generate
common data displays. Documentation is presented pedagogically, with thorough explanations of how
each function works and tutorials showing how the toolbox can be used to replicate results of published
studies. As a well-tested, well-documented platform for interdisciplinary collaborations, the Climate Data
Toolbox for MATLAB aims to reduce time spent writing low-level code, let researchers focus on physics
rather than coding and encourage more efficacious code sharing.
