This metadata record serves as documentation for the bias adjusted version of the CONUS404 (CONtiguous United States for 40-years at 4-kilometer grid spacing) atmospheric forcing dataset; however this dataset has been revised to include 43 years of data at 1-kilometer grid spacing. This is a dataset of historical conditions (water years 1980-2022, October 1, 1979-September 30, 2022) and has sufficient temporal and spatial detail to resolve mesoscale atmospheric processes, making it appropriate for forcing hydrological models and conducting meteorological analyses. This data release includes the bias adjusted CONUS404 outputs (CONUS404 BA) and the adjustment grids that were used in the bias adjustment process. The...

Introduction CONUS404 is a unique, high-resolution hydro-climate dataset appropriate for forcing hydrological models and conducting meteorological analysis over the contiguous United States. CONUS404, so named because it covers the CONtiguous United States for 40 years at 4-km resolution, was produced by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model simulations run by National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) as part of a collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Mission Area. In fact, CONUS404 includes 43 years of data (water years 1980-2022) and the spatial domain extends beyond the CONUS into Canada and Mexico, thereby capturing transboundary river basins and covering all contributing...

Introduction The CONUS404 pseudo-global warming (PGW) dataset is a future-perturbed hydro-climate dataset, created as a follow on to the CONUS404 dataset. The CONUS404 PGW dataset represents the weather from 1980 to 2021 under a warmer and wetter climate environment and provides an opportunity to explore the event-based climate change impacts when used with the CONUS404 historical data. This dataset has sufficient temporal and spatial detail to resolve probable mesoscale atmospheric states and processes in a future warmer climate, making it appropriate for forcing hydrological models and conducting meteorological analyses to study one possible scenario of climate changes and resultant hydrologic impacts over...
