Carmel River Basin Hydrologic Models: Future Climate Data

This digital dataset contains the gridded future climate data used for the Carmel River Basin Hydrologic Model. The daily climate data for the Carmel River Basin Hydrologic Model Hydrologic Model are based on the Salinas and Carmel River Basins Study (SCRBS) future climate scenarios (Henson and others, 2024). SCRBS considers one baseline climate scenario that represents recent historical climate conditions and five future climate scenarios: Hot-Wet (HW), Warm-Wet (WW), Hot-Dry (HD), Warm-Dry (WD), and Central Tendency (CT) (Henson and others, 2024). To develop the climate grids, the regional climate data was resampled and area weighted to the model grid. The climate data includes spatially distributed daily precipitation and potential evapotranspiration for the model grid for January 2016 to December 2099.
