Western US Hydroclimate Scenarios Project Observations and Statistically Downscaled Data

This archive contains daily statistically downscaled climate projections and simulated land surface water and energy fluxes for the western United States and southern British Columbia at 1/16th (0.0625) degree resolution. Climate and hydrologic variables (21 total) are as follows: precipitation, temperature (avg./max./min.), outgoing longwave radiation, incoming shortwave radiation, relative humidity, vapor pressure deficit, evapotranspiration, runoff, baseflow, soil moisture (3-layers), snow water equivalent, snow depth, and potential evapotranspiration (5 vegetation references). The downscaling used is the Modified Delta approach (see Littell et al. 2011), based on 10 models from Phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3), a critical source of data to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR4). Documentation home: http://cses.washington.edu/cig/data/wus.shtml Note that time-stamps on these data are not in the future. See the statistical downscaling chapter from this report for more information. http://warm.atmos.washington.edu/2860/r7climate/study_report/CBCCSP_chap4_gcm_final.pdf Reference: This research was sponsored by a grant from the Department of the Interior, USGS NW Climate Science Center, a multi-institution DOI-funded project located at the University of Washington, Oregon State University, and the University of Idaho. We also acknowledge the modeling groups, the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) and the WCRP's Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) for their roles in making available the WCRP CMIP3 multi-model dataset. Support of this dataset is provided by the Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy.
