These files contain spatial fields of simulated yearly thermosteric sea-level anomalies between 1951-2100 (referenced to year 1800) from a perturbed physics ensemble experiment using the University of Victoria Earth System Model (UVic). Thermosteric sea-level anomalies are derived from changes in density, which are calculated using the model's temperature and salinity fields. The ensemble varies 3 parameters controlling the model's equilibrium climate sensitivity (CS), background vertical diffusivity in the ocean (KV), and radiative effects of atmospheric sulfate aerosols (ASC). These parameters are varied over the following ranges: CS-(1.1, 1.6, 2.2, 2.6, 3.1, 4.0, 5.4, 6.5, 8.2, 11.2); KV-(0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4,...

The Midwest United States is facing wetter winters and springs and more variable precipitation in the summer and fall. Heavy floods and prolonged droughts are costly to agriculture, housing, transportation infrastructure, and recreational opportunities across the region. These extremes also stress the health of freshwater ecosystems that are important to the regional economy and quality of life. The number of freshwater invertebrates like mussels, crayfish, and aquatic insects are generally declining which strongly indicates declining freshwater health. Losing these animals limits benefits such as water purification, food for wildlife, and aesthetic values. This project seeks to understand and synthesize information...
