What do you dislike?

The Apache Open Climate Workbench software's UI is not very smooth and user friendly. The polishing could be better and it could be a little smooth. It sometimes takes time to open the maps and also display combined maps.

Also the quality of images could be made even better. These points can be improved upon.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Try to learn terminal commands while using it, it would be really helpful. Also first try to implement on your machine first and then try your hands on cloud.

We are trying to predict the climate change so that we can control our levels of production of our crops and yieldings that we have on our farm.
