On the Sensitivity of Future Hydrology in the Colorado River to the Selection of the Precipitation Partitioning Method

This dataset contains the simulation results of the sensitivity of future hydrology to the selection of different precipitation partitioning method in the Colorado River Basin. The simulation is conducted with the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model at 8-km, hourly resolution from 1976-2095 (water year) and aggregated to 30-yr average for historical period (1976-2005) and far future period (2066-2095) in this dataset. 

The 30-yr average results are compressed and organized into three folders: TA, TW, and TWC. The filename of modeling results contains the associated experiments, GCM, and simulation period as follows: "fluxes.CRB.$EXP.$GCM.$PER.nc", where $EXP is the VIC experiments (TA, TW, and TWC), $GCM is the GCM used (eight in total), $PER is the simulation period (his, RCP45, and RCP85)
