Due to limited funds and a fixed amount of computational resources, rather than performing continuous century-scale model runs, three decadal time periods were simulated: present day (2009-2018), mid-century (2055-2064), and end-of-century (2090-2099.) The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used to dynamically downscale the National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCAR's) Community Earth System Model (CESM) input using Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 for future climate, and RCP 4.5 for present day. A 10 km spatial resolution was used for the outer domain, and convection-permitting resolution of 3.33 km on the inner domain. The resulting output data set consists of thirty-nine different fields, with hourly resolution on the inner domain, and 6-hourly on the outer. To optimize the model configuration for this location and climate, before the full simulations were done, a series of 18 sensitivity tests were performed, comparing model output with observations. The full simulation data files are available to anyone who wants access to them at NCAR's Climate Data Gateway at https://dx.doi.org/10.26024/mahn-2660 UCAR/NCAR - Library OpenSky Support PO Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307-3000 opensky@ucar.edu http://opensky.ucar.edu/ homepage pointOfContact PDF Text theme Resource Type 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z publication Coupled climate models Socioeconomics Precipitation amount Land surface models Convective precipitation Scenario planning Lakes/reservoirs Humidity mixing ratio Surface pressure Precipitation trends Wind speed Climate adaptation Temperature trends Weather research/forecast models Shortwave radiation Water temperature Air temperature theme U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2021-09-17 revision 11.2 NASA Global Change Master Directory originator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Copyright Author(s).
