U.S. west coast mountain hydroclimate dataset under local sea surface temperature perturbations: 2003-2015

This repository contains the data used in the following paper:

Chen, X., L. R. Leung, Y. Gao, and Y. Liu (2021), Response of U.S. west coast mountain snowpack to local sea surface temperature perturbations: Insights from numerical modeling and machine learning, J. Hydrometeor. doi:10.1175/JHM-D-20-0127.1

It includes the hydroclimate data (P, T, SWE) over the western U.S. under two simulations: one historical reconstruction and one local SST perturbed simulation. The dataset covers the daily conditions during 2003-2015 on a 6-km grids that is used by the Weather Research and Forecasting model. There are other variables generated from this study, and for these additional data please contact Dr. Xiaodong Chen or Dr. Ruby Leung.
