CMIP5 and LOCA climatologies for historical and RCP8.5 with R code and mask files

Related to an upcoming analysis in a manuscript prepared for submission to Geophysical Research Letters, this holds the files used and a copy of the R code used for analysis.  The following files are included:

GRLpaper_analysis.R - R code for analysis of files and production of graphics

pr_GCM_climo_CONUS.nc - Historical (1976-2005) climatology of annual precipitation for pre-downscaled CMIP5 GCMs interpolated to the grid of Livneh v. 1.2. Also includes the Livneh v.1.2 climatology of annual precipitation and the 29 member ensemble mean. NetCDF file format

pr_GCM_climo_rcp85_CONUS.nc - RCP 8.5 future (2070-2099) climatology of annual precipitation for pre-downscaled CMIP5 GCMs interpolated to the grid of Livneh v. 1.2. Also includes the Livneh v.1.2 historical (1976-2005) climatology of annual precipitation and the 29 member ensemble mean of the RCP 8.5 future.NetCDF file format

pr_LOCA_climo_CONUS.nc - Historical (1976-2005) climatology of annual precipitation for LOCA downscaled CMIP5 GCMs interpolated to the grid of Livneh v. 1.2. Also includes the Livneh v.1.2 climatology of annual precipitation and the 29 member ensemble mean. NetCDF file format

pr_LOCA_climo_rcp85_CONUS.nc - RCP 8.5 future (2070-2099) climatology of annual precipitation for LOCA downscaled CMIP5 GCMs interpolated to the grid of Livneh v. 1.2. Also includes the Livneh v.1.2 historical (1976-2005) climatology of annual precipitation and the 29 member ensemble mean of the RCP 8.5 future. NetCDF file format
