Description

This dataset includes two versions of the daily Santa Ana Wind Regional Index (SAWRI) and Livneh precipitation data from 1948-2018. Details of the two versions of SAWRI can be found in Guzman-Morales, 2016 and Guzman-Morales, 2019. The Livneh data is daily data from September through March of each year covering California and Nevada. In addition, a mask is included for California Climate Division 6. The work in this paper uses this mask to extract Livneh precipitation for Climate Division 6.
