Gridded Weather Generator Perturbations of Historical Detrended and Stochastically Generated Temperature and Precipitation for the State of CA and HUC8s

This data is more suited to be evaluated at the watershed scale rather than only considering individual grid cells. Some spatial limitation occurs at the coastline, over large bodies of water, and outside of the continental United States.
