This dataset has been created to 1) investigate hydrometeorological processes impacting the East River and water-delivery to the Critical Zone, and 2) provide meteorological forcing data for distributed Earth-science modeling applications in the East River watershed. Variables have a 1 kilometer spatial resolution and hourly temporal resolution and encompass a rectangular region encompassing the East and Taylor River watersheds, Colorado, near the town of Crested Butte. WRF was forced using Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) lateral boundary conditions. Each .zip file contains one "water year" of data (October 1 -- September 30; i.e. water year 2017 starts October 1, 2016 and ends September 30, 2017). Each zip folder contains 12 netcdf (.nc) files containing one month of hourly data each and are approximately 250mb. Model timestamps are in UTC time.The files contain the following data variables:EAST_MASK: binary mask of the watershed regionTAYLOR_MASK: binary mask of the watershed regionGLW downwelling longwave radiation (w/m2)HR_PRCP: Hourly Precipitation Rate (mm/hr).

The model is initialized was two weeks prior to the start of each water year and run non-consecutively for water-years 1987-2020. Raw model output variables are post-processed and subset to the region East/Taylor river watershed. The model files contain one month of data each, with hourly timesteps. Files are "netcdf" format. Data processing was performed using "xarray" (https://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/). No bias corrections or modifications have been made to the output fields -- these are 'raw' model outputs. Additional details of the model configuration and validation will be provided in an upcoming publication.
