The statistically downscaled LOCA2 temperature and precipitation projections from 27 GCMs from the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 (CMIP6) are use as input to the water balance model. This data set supports the USGS National Climate Change Viewer (ver. 2).\nThe statistically downscaled data set is: \nCMIP6-LOCA2: Localized Constructed Analogs (Pierce et al. 2023, bias corrected by a modified version of Livneh et al. 2013)\nUsers interested in the downscaled temperature and precipitation files are referred to the data set home page:\nLOCA: https://loca.ucsd.edu\nBias correction data set: https://cirrus.ucsd.edu/~pierce/nonsplit_precip/\nThe 27 included GCMs are:\nACCESS-CM2, ACCESS-ESM1-5, AWI-CM-1-1-MR, BCC-CSM2-MR, CESM2-LENS, CNRM-CM6-1, CNRM-CM6-1-HR, CNRM-ESM2-1, CanESM5, EC-Earth3, EC-Earth3-Veg, FGOALS-g3, GFDL-CM4, GFDL-ESM4, HadGEM3-GC31-LL, HadGEM3-GC31-MM, INM-CM4-8, INM-CM5-0, IPSL-CM6A-LR, KACE-1-0-G, MIROC6, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, MPI-ESM1-2-LR, MRI-ESM2-0, NorESM2-LM, NorESM2-MM, TaiESM1\nThere are 72 simulations in total (ssp245=24, ssp370=23, ssp585=25). While the LOCA2 data set supports multiple realizations per model; one MWBM realization per model is provided herein (predominately r1i1p1f1, except when this realization was not available).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9DWN1XL", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65148dccd34e469cabfcb6f9.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65148dccd34e469cabfcb6f9", "keyword": ["CMIP6", "LOCA2", "USGS:65148dccd34e469cabfcb6f9", "effects of climate change", "evaporation", "hydrologic processes", "runoff", "snow and ice cover", "soil moisture"], "modified": "2023-11-01T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-125.5000, 23.8750, -66.0000, 53.5000", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "CMIP6 LOCA2 Monthly Water Balance Model Projections 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States"}
