Motivation– Data Accessibility Bias-Corrected Satellite Observations 1979-Yesterday Historical Observations (GridMET) Bias-Corrected Projections for 2020-2100 Future Projections (20 CMIP5 Models, MACA) ~20 TB USDA-NIFA REACCH Project (2011) NW CSC Integrated Scenarios Project (2012) Future Climate Projections (20 CMIP5 Models, MACA) Future Hydrology Projections (10 CMIP5 Models, VIC) ~2 TB ~20 TB ~15 TB Future Vegetation Projections (10 CMIP5 Models, MC2) ~0.5 TB

5. • Daily data • Contiguous USA (4-km) • Variables: Climate (Gridded Model) Hydrology (VIC Model) Precipitation Evaporation Runoff Base flow Soil Moisture Snow Water Equivalent• Temperature • Precipitation • Humidity • Wind • Solar Radiation Motivation– Data Accessibility • Daily data • Western USA (4-km)

6. Motivation– Data Accessibility Seasonal Forecasts (7 NMME Models) Bias-Corrected Forecasts for next 7 months Bias-Corrected Projections for 2020-2100 RCP4.5/8.5 Bias-Corrected Satellite Observations 1979-Yesterday Historical Observations (Gridded Model) Future Projections (20 CMIP5 Models) Bias-Corrected Forecasts for next 90 days Sub-Seasonal Forecasts (48 CFS Ensembles)
