Precipitation objects under the current and future climate: WRF 6-km hydroclimate simulation of the western US

This folder includes the data for the following manuscript: Chen et al., Sharpening of Future Western US Cold Season Storms Modifies Area‐Intensity Relationship for Safe Design. It is generated using WRF V3.8.1 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 Psuedo Global Warming (PGW) approach. For the WRF model configuration and the simulation details, please refer to the abovementioned manuscript. 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 output) will be included here before the manuscript is published.
