Six GCMs from the \nCoupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) were dynamically downscaled \nusing the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.  A daily climate model \ndata set was produced for every combination of the six GCMs for two periods \n(mid-century, 2040-59 and late century, 2080-99) and three Shared Socioeconomic \nPathways (SSP) emissions scenarios (SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585).  For each of the \nsix GCMs, a daily dataset was also completed for the historical period of 1995-2014 \nfor a total of 42 climate model data sets. \nThe example control file, batch file, and python file in this data release item \nare needed along (1) with daily climate model data sets of precipitation, maximum \ndaily temperature, and minimum daily temperature available through Liess and \nothers (2026) and (2)the model executable files (bin.zip), gridded model input \nfiles of land use, and soil properties (gridded_data.zip), the model extent \n(geodata.zip), and calibrated lookup tables (tabular_data.zip) available in item \n1 of this data release (1. Soil-Water-Balance base model for Minnesota, 1981 to \n2022 - INPUT and OUTPUT) to reproduce the output in item 3 of this data release \n(3.
