Gridded historical/future BC downscaled climate data

GCM and ESM outputs for British Columbia with two representative concentration pathway scenarios 4.5 and 8.5 were statistically downscaled onto the 10km national NRCanMet grid using the Bias-Corrected Constructed Analogues with Quantile mapping reordering (BCCAQ) algorithm to produce daily climate surfaces for 1961-2100.  Outputs were then spatially disaggregated and bias corrected in the same manner as the historical NRCanMet dataset.  Five CMIP5 models include ACCESS, CanESM2, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO Mk3.5, and INMCM4, were utilized.
