Daily freshwater discharge from 477 eastern Canadian rivers (1990-2100)

PURPOSE: Freshwater discharge is used to force eastern Canadian ocean models DESCRIPTION: Neural network post-processed WRF-Hydro streamflow timeseries at 477 oceanic river outlets, where lat/lon are proxy position, riverlat/lon are outlet position, and oceanlat/lon are ocean pour points that are displaced slightly into the ocean (next to outlet position on the WRF-Hydro grid). The 477 eastern Canadian rivers were modelled using WRF-Hydro, which was forced by four CMIP models subject to WRF downscaling of atmospheric forcing. The four models are an NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM-4 SSP5 8.5) simulation (Meehl et al., 2012), two Met Office Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model (HadGEM2 SSP2 4.5 and SSP5 8.5) simulations (Collins et al., 2011), and a Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Earth System Model (MPI-ESM1.2-LR SSP5 8.5) simulation (Mauritsen et al., 2019). Variables and their descriptions are included in the NetCDF file.
