  "description": "<p>This dataset contains a 30-year rolling average of annual\naverage precipitation from the four models and two greenhouse gas (RCP) scenarios\nincluded in the four model ensemble for the years 1950-2099.<span>  </span>The year identified is the mid-point of the\n30-year average. eg. The year 2050 includes the values from 2036 to 2065. </p>\n\n<p>The downscaling and selection of models for inclusion in ten\nand four model ensembles is described in <a href='https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2019-11/Projections_CCCA4-CEC-2018-006_ADA.pdf#page=11' rel='nofollow ugc'>Pierce\net al. 2018</a>, but summarized here. Thirty two global climate models (GCMs)\nwere identified to meet the modeling requirements. From those, ten that closely\nsimulate California’s climate were selected for additional analysis (<a href='https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2019-11/Projections_CCCA4-CEC-2018-006_ADA.pdf#page=11' rel='nofollow ugc'>Table\n1, Pierce et al. 2018</a>) and to form a ten model ensemble. From the ten model\nensemble, four models, forming a four model ensemble, were identified to\nprovide coverage of the range of potential climate outcomes in California.<span>  </span>The models in the four model ensemble and\ntheir general climate projection for California are: </p><p></p><ul><li><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'>HadGEM2-ES (warm/dry), </span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'>CanESM2 (average), </span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'>CNRM-CM5 (cooler/wetter), </span></li><li><span style='text-indent:-0.25in;'>and MIROC5 the model least like the others to\nimprove coverage of the range of outcomes.</span></li></ul><p></p>\n\n<p>These data were downloaded from Cal-Adapt and prepared for\nuse within CA Nature by California Natural Resource Agency and ESRI staff.</p>\n\n<p>Cal-Adapt.
