Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Potential Effects of Climate Change on Streamflow in Eastern and Central Montana (2013-2014 Analyses) - PRMS Model Input and Output
Summary:  View help for Summary 'These PRMS model input and output data are provided to accompany the journal article "Potential Effects of Climate Change on Streamflow for Seven Watersheds in Eastern and Central Montana". Fish in Northern Great Plains streams evolved to survive heat, cold, floods and drought; however changes in streamflow associated with long-term climate change may render some prairie streams uninhabitable for current fish species. To better understand future hydrology of these prairie streams, the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) model and output from the RegCM3 Regional Climate model were used to simulate streamflows for seven watersheds in eastern and central Montana, for a baseline period (water years 1982 - 1999) and three future periods: water years 2021 -2038, 2046 - 2063, and 2071 - 2088. These PRMS model input and output data are intended to accompany a journal article (Chase et al., 2016); they include 2 appendices: 1. Appendix 1 - ranges for PRMS parameters for each PRMS model (excel file) 2. Appendix 2 - tables 2.1-2.7 containing simulated monthly streamflows, PRMS output (csv file) Chase, K.J., Haj, A.E., Regan, R.S., and Viger, R.J., 2016, Potential effects of climate change on streamflow for seven watersheds in eastern and central Montana: Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, Volume 7, Pages 69-81, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrh.2016.06.001.'
