Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency has conducted a study to evaluate potential changes to1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) streamflows. The study was conducted using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). Climate inputs to the model of temperature and precipitation were scaled to anticipated changes that could occur in 2030, 2050, and 2100 based on global climate models. The output from the models were used to characterize the 1-percent AEP streamflows for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100 and compare the results to baseline conditions, 1950-2015. The data include the model input and output and spatial data for model referencing. Scripts for processing PRMS output [...]

Purpose

Data are for characterizing the 1-percent annual exceedance probability streamflows for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100 and compare the results to baseline conditions. The files contain Precipitation Runoff Modeling System input and output data to support the accompanying Scientific Investigations Report.
