1. Download Data—Determine the appropriate climate data to download from the DCHP website, including location, models, and emissions scenario(s).
2. Process Data—Use the appropriate CMIP Climate Data Processing Tool Excel file to process data from the DCHP website into specific temperature and precipitation variables.
3. Interpret Data—Review the results and properly applying them to decision-making.

The tool's User Guide provides detailed instructions within each of the three main steps.
