QuickCompare is an offshoot of QuickView, an interactive tool for inspecting data files produced by Earth system simulations. Instead of presenting a single simulation, QuickCompare contrasts two or more simulations that use the same horizontal mesh (and hence the same connectivity information). Plots can be shown for the user-selected physical quantities themselves as well as differences and relative differences between simulations. Like QuickView, QuickCompare is designed to present multiple variables simultaneously to help identify potential relationships.
- Intuitive, minimalist interface tailored for Earth system modeling.
- Physical quantities displayed together with differences and/or relative differences between simulations.
- Multi-variable visualization.
- Persistent sessions—pick up where you left off.
- Support for EAM v2, v3, and upcoming v4 output formats as well as the E3SM land model ELM's input and output files on ne*pg2 grids.

QuickCompare is developed by Kitware, Inc. in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's ASCR and BER programs via SciDAC.
