Summary
Maps derived from source data. Reference period: the period 1989 – 2009 for the McKenzie River Basin domain, and 1989 – 2011 for the Upper Deschutes River Basin domain, for which observed historical meteorology is used for model input. T2 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +2oC to each daily temperature record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. T2P10 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +2oC to each daily temperature record, and +10% precipitation to each daily precipitation record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. T4 scenario: [...]

Reference period: the period 1989 – 2009 for the McKenzie River Basin domain, and 1989 – 2011 for the Upper Deschutes River Basin domain, for which observed historical meteorology is used for model input. T2 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +2
oC to each daily temperature record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. T2P10 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +2
oC to each daily temperature record, and +10% precipitation to each daily precipitation record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. T4 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +4
oC to each daily temperature record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. T4P10 scenario: the observed historical (reference period) meteorology is perturbed by adding +4
oC to each daily temperature record, and +10% precipitation to each daily precipitation record in the reference period meteorology, and this data is then used as input to the model. The file 'raster_metadata.docx' has descriptions of each individual map file.
