Precipitation objects under the current and future climate: WRF 6-km hydroclimate simulation of the western US
- 1. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
- 2. Ocean University of China
Description
This folder includes the precipitation objects that are used in the following manuscript:
Chen et al., Sharpening of Cold Season Storms over the Western US.
It is generated using WRF V3.8 at PNNL. A historical simulation ("NARR") is done for 1981-2010, and five future simulations ("CanESM2", "CESM1-CAM5", "GFDL-ESM2M", "HadGEM2-ES", "MPI-ESM-MR") are done for 2041-2070 using the Pseudo Global Warming (PGW) approach. For the WRF model configuration and the simulation details, please refer to the abovementioned manuscript and Chen et al. (2018).
This is the preliminary version of the dataset that contains the precipitation object features as analyzed in the manuscript. More data (including the WRF raw precipitation output) and the finalized scripts will be included here before the manuscript is published.
