.\Stochastic Meteorology\ I. .\genpet.csv: This file contains stochastic monthly PET values for each weather station used to develop stochastic climate data in Kolars and others (2016). Column A is the weather station number, column B is the year in a stochastic simulation, column’s C through N are January through December PET values in millimeters, respectively. Simulations are stacked in order from 1 to 100 for each weather station. II. .\genprec.csv: This file contains stochastic monthly precipitation values for each weather station used to develop stochastic climate data in Kolars and others (2016). Column A is the weather station number, column B is the year in a stochastic simulation, column’s C through N are January through December precipitation values in millimeters, respectively. Simulations are stacked in order from 1 to 100 for each weather station. III. .\ grid_pet_stoch.csv: This file provides monthly stochastic PET values for each grid point used in the WBM presented in Kolars and others (2016). Column A is an unnamed index, column B, “lat”, is the latitude for a grid point, column C, “lon”, is the longitude for a grid point, column D is the year in a stochastic simulation, and columns E through P are the values of PET for January through December in millimeters, respectively. Simulations are ordered and placed on top of one another. IV. .\ grid_prec_stoch.csv: This file provides monthly stochastic precipitation values for each grid point used in the WBM presented in Kolars and others (2016). Column A is an unnamed index, column B, “lat”, is the latitude for a grid point, column C, “lon”, is the longitude for a grid point, column D is the year in a stochastic simulation, and columns E through P are the values of precipitation for January through December in millimeters, respectively. Simulations are ordered and placed on top of one another. V. .\PETMM_basinAv_stoch.csv: This file contains the Souris River Basin average PET for each month of the stochastic PET time series. Column A is an unnamed index, column B, “simnum” is the simulation number, column C, “yr”, is the year in a stochastic simulation, and columns D through O are the PET values in millimeters for January through December, respectively. VI. .\PrecipMM_basinAv_stoch.csv: This file contains the Souris River Basin average precipitation for each month of the stochastic precipitation time series. Column A is an unnamed index, column B, “simnum” is the simulation number, column C, “yr”, is the year in a stochastic simulation, and columns D through O are the precipitation values in millimeters for January through December, respectively.
