This data release consists of climate data from the Basin Characterization Model v8 (BCMv8) for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922-2019. The BCMv8 data are available in separate data release titled "The Basin Characterization Model - A regional water balance software package (BCMv8) data release and model archive for hydrologic California, water years 1896-2020". The data were modified by: (1) clipping the data within the modeled area and modeled time frame, and (2) assigning values from the 270-meter BCMv8 grid to the1-mile CVHM2 model grid for the hydrologic variables precipitation and potential evapotranspiration.
Version 2.0
Processing steps were clarified and the abstract was updated to reflect this clarification.
Additionally, climate files were updated based on clipped BCM data that matches the source BCM data projection, cell size, and cell allignment (using snap raster in enirvonment settings).
The climate data in the previous version data release was based on clipped BCM data that did not have environment settings set in ArcGIS, resulting in the clipped data not lining up exactly with the source BCM data.
Correction was made, and the differences between the previous version and the correct version are negligible.
Changes from previous version:
1) Clarified processings steps and updated abstract.
2) Updated climate data (CVHM2_Climate_ET.zip & CVHM2_Climate_PP.zip)
