Description

A dynamically downscaled dataset produced to evaluate the impact of climate change on the meteorlogical and hydrological of the 2020-2021 Western US drought. All meteorlogic data was output from WRF and hydroglical data was output from a calibrate version of Noah-MP. Data for the observed historical drought are included as well as data for the five different pre-industrial simulations. Also included is a Jupyter Notebook which allows users to recreate and modify the figures.
