Historical reanalysis climate data (TMAX, TMIN, PCP) at 0.5o resolution from Climate Research Unit East Anglia (CRU TS 3.1) is reformatted for use in SWAT models. The daily data covers the period of (1970-2005). This data can serve as observed data in regions where observed data is sparse or not available. For future data, we used the ISI-MIP data (Hempel et al., 2013, doi:10.5194/esd-4-219-2013). These were created using five GCM archives as input: HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC-ESM-CHEM, GFDL-ESM2M, and NorESM1-M. These models were selected because they had daily data for the period of 1950- 2099 for all Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios.
