SWB simulations were done with daily \nforcing data from six global climate models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model \nIntercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) that were dynamically downscaled with the \nWeather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.  The forcing data used in this model \nare available through Liess and others (2026, \nhttps://doi.org/10.1029/2025WR040415). A daily climate model data set was \nproduced for every combination of the six GCMs for two periods (mid-century, \n2040-59 and late century, 2080-99) and three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) \nemissions scenarios (SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585).  For each of the six GCMs, a \ndaily dataset was also completed for the historical period of 1995-2014 for a total \nof 42 climate model data sets that were used with SWB.\nGridded SWB model outputs, in inches, include surface runoff, climatic deficit, \nnet infiltration (water that might become groundwater recharge), reference \nevapotranspiration, actual evapotranspiration, snowfall, and snowmelt. Output \nfiles are included for mean annual, mean monthly, mean seasonal, and mean growing \nseason grids. This item also includes gridded outputs from SWB that nearly \nreplicate the inputs from the climate models: gross precipitation (in inches), \nmaximum daily air temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit), and minimum daily air \ntemperature (in degrees Fahrenheit).  Each output variable has two TIF files in \ndifferent coordinate systems.  One complete set of outputs is provided that \npresents the TIFs in World Geodetic System 1984 coordinates (EPSG 4326); the other \nset of outputs is provided in projected Albers Equal Area coordinates (EPSG 5070). \nFurther details about this application of the SWB model can be found in the related \nprimary publication.\nREFERENCES:\nLiess, S., Roop, H.
