Abstract

This resource contains snow metrics for the present-day period and represents a subset of the SnowClim Dataset (https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/acc4f39ad6924a78811750043d59e5d0/) The SnowClim Dataset was developed following the methods presented in Lute et al., (in prep). The present-day snow data was created by first downscaling 4 km climate forcings from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) over a thirteen year period (1 Oct 2000 to 30 Sep 2013) and then using this climate data to force the SnowClim snow model. Snow model outputs were summarized into snow metrics at ~210 m spatial resolution for the western US.

Additional details about forcing data preparation, model physics, model calibration, and application to the western US domain can be found in:
