With the increasing number of climate simulations, reanalyses and observations, new infrastructures to search and analyse distributed data are necessary. In recent years, the Grid architecture became an important technology to fulfill these demands. For the German project „Collaborative Climate Community Data and Processing Grid“ (C3Grid, www.c3grid.de), computer scientists and meteorologists developed a system that offers its users a webinterface to search and download climate data and use implemented analysis tools (called workflows) to further investigate them. In the following, two workflows of the C3Grid will be presented to show their potential to extract hidden information of extensive climate simulations.
