Potential Effects of Climate Change on Streamflow in Eastern and Central Montana - PRMS Model Input and Output (2013–2014 Analyses)
Fish in Northern Great Plains streams evolved to survive heat, cold, floods and drought; however changes in streamflow associated with long-term climate change may render some prairie streams uninhabitable for current fish species. To better understand future hydrology of these prairie streams, the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) model and output from the RegCM3 Regional Climate model were used to simulate streamflows for seven watersheds in eastern and central Montana, for a baseline period (water years 1982–1999) and three future periods: water years 2021–2038, 2046–2063, and 2071–2088.
These data are intended to accompany a journal article; they document and input and output for the PRMS model, and include 2 separate items:
1. Appendix 1 - ranges for PRMS parameters for each PRMS model (Microsoft Excel file);
2. Appendix 2 - tables 2.1-2.7 containing simulated monthly streamflows, PRMS output (multiple csv files)
