A 30-year high resolution simulation of the future climate over the Interior Western United States

A high-resolution (4 km) convection-permitting regional climate simulation is conducted in the Interior Western United States (IWUS) using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The model integration is conducted over a 30-year period from October 1981 through September 2011, and over a 30-year future period centered at 2050 using the Pseudo–Global Warming (PGW) technique. The IWUS model output for the retrospective climate is available from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1157112.

This repository contains a 30-year gridded dataset of precipitation, surface (2 m) temperature, surface pressure, water vapor mixing ratio at 2 m, and 10 m wind speed at a daily frequency from the IWUS simulation of future climate centered at 2050. Anyone interested in the full dataset of the IWUS simulation is encouraged to contact the lead author at [e-mail].
