Pacific Northwest High Resolution Snow Simulations

Summary

This directory contains summaries of 30 arc-second (~800m) snow products generated using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrologic model. The driving meteorological dataset was generated by downscaling the 1/16th degree data used by Littell et al. 2011 (Regional Climate and Hydrologic Change in the Northern US Rockies and Pacific Northwest, http://cses.washington.edu/picea/USFS/pub/). The downscaling to 30 arc-second was achieved using PRISM climate normals for monthly average temperature and precipitation. In addition to the increased resolution, VIC was adjusted to take gridcell mean slope and aspect as inputs to the radiative calculations. Due to space constraints, only SWE (Snow Water Equivalent, mm) was archived [...]
