The SWB model was calibrated \nto streamflow and actual evapotranspiration observations in 71 watersheds for 2000 \n- 2022.  Two sets of water budget estimates were simulated by the calibrated \nMinnesota SWB model. First, water budget components for the historical period of \n1981 - 2022 were simulated using historical observed PRISM weather data (PRISM \nClimate Group and Oregon State University, 2022). Second, water budget components \nfor the periods 1995-2014, 2040-2059, and 2080-2099 were estimated using \nhigh-resolution (4-kilometer), dynamically downscaled global climate models \n(GCMs, Liess and others, 2026). The dynamically downscaled daily data sets were \ngenerated for every combination of six GCMs for two periods (mid-century, 2040-59 \nand late century, 2080-99) and three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) emissions \nscenarios (SSP245 [intermediate emissions], SSP370 [high emissions], and SSP585 \n[very high emissions]).  For each of the six GCMs, a daily dataset was also \ncompleted for the historical period of 1995-2014. This model archive has 4 child \nitems. Further details about this application of the SWB model can be found in \nthe related primary publication.\nREFERENCES\nLiess, S., Roop, H. A., Twine, T.
