Climate Futures for Tasmania: runoff output from hydroclimatological model simulations

Brief description

These are daily hydroclimatological simulations for 1961-2100 produced by the Climate Futures for Tasmania (CFT) Project. The available variables are daily runoff, bias-adjusted rainfall, bias-adjusted Morton’s wet APET. This project builds on the Tasmania Sustainable Yields Project (TasSY) by using dynamically downscaled climate projections as direct inputs to the TasSY hydrological models and extending these projections of runoff and river flows to 2100. The TasSY surface water models were adapted specifically to assess climate impacts: an ensemble of five runoff models was calibrated, and the models were designed to isolate climate effects on runoff from effects of human regulation of Tasmanian rivers. Simulations are at 0.05 degree grid cells covering the land area of Tasmania and have a daily timestep for the period 1961-2100. The runoff models were calibrated to interpolated observations from the SILO dataset
