Data from: Projected 21st century shifts in fish growth potential in the California Current Ecosystem

This is an input dataset for a modeling framework that quantifies
21st-century climate change impacts on early-marine fish growth potential
along the central U.S. west coast using juvenile Chinook salmon as a
case-study species. We use the Temperature and Krill values in this
dataset in the upcoming publication "Projected 21st century shifts in
fish growth potential in the California Current
Ecosystem." Three Earth system models (IPSL-CM5A-MR,
HadGEM2-ES, and GFDL-ESM2M) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
5 (CMIP5) were dynamically downscaled to produce regional climate and
lower trophic-level (ending at the large zooplankter krill) projections at
10 km resolution for the broader CCE region under the Representative
Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) high emissions scenario. These 10km
projections were then further nested into a gridded 3 km resolution
ROMS-NEMUCSC domain for the central CCE to produce a more detailed
representation of nearshore processes impacting juvenile salmon growth in
coastal waters. The temperature variable is included as "temp,"
and the krill variable is included as "pzooplankton." These are
gridded files, so the other variables are those associated with the grid
structure of the Temperature and Krill variables.
