The data were downscaled using the Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research (ICAR Gutmann et al., 2016) model after bias correcting the GCM three dimensional atmospheric data to match the ERA-interim reanalysis climatology (Dee et al., 2011). ICAR was configured with the Thompson microphysics, a simple PBL parameterization based on YSU, the RRTMG longwave radiation and an empirical shortwave radiation scheme, the Noah-MP land surface model, the WRF-Lake model, the BMJ cumulus parameterization, and used linear mountain wave theory for upper level wind structures combined with an iterative scheme to remove vertical motion at the model top. The output from ICAR was adjusted to match the climatological statistics of the Livneh et al. (2015) observational dataset. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png NetCDF dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral CLIMATE MODELS > CLIMATE MODELS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE TEMPERATURE > MAXIMUM/MINIMUM TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > PRECIPITATION AMOUNT > 24 HOUR PRECIPITATION AMOUNT U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1950 2099 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 556144.41 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d010091/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d010091/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
