Bias-corrected VIC historical runoff data (1950-2013) for the Central Sierra Nevada

This data was used in the CenSierraPywr model created for the project
"Optimizing Hydropower Operations While Sustaining Ecosystem
Functions in a Changing Climate", for the California Energy
Commission. For hydrology inputs, the model requires runoff at the
sub-basin level. For this study, we used VIC the historical (1950 to 2013)
daily gridded (1/16o) runoff data generated by the Variable Infiltration
Capacity (VIC) hydrologic model, forced with observed meteorological data
from NOAA/OAR/ESRL PSD, Boulder, Colorado, USA. A version of the Livneh
dataset clipped to California and Nevada, as developed for the project to
model managed flow for Sacramento/San Joaquin basin and hosted by a UC
Berkeley server, was used in this study.
