This dataset contains calculated moisture sources for the Yangtse River Valley (110–122°E and 27–33°N, eastern China) for past, present and future climate using a Lagrangian moisture source diagnostic. The dataset comprises gridded monthly moisture source data files and monthly time series files for a Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) simulation and a Pre-Industrial reference simulation (PRE) with CAM5.1 using prescribed sea surface temperatures, and a control simulation (CTL, 2001-2010) and a climate scenario run with representative concentration pathway 6 (RCP, 2061-2070) with the coupled NorESM-1M model. Each file covers a 10-year time period, computed with the Lagrangian moisture source diagnostic WaterSip (Sodemann et al., 2008). ... : {"references": ["Sodemann, H., Schwierz, C., and Wernli, H., 2008: Inter-annual variability of Greenland winter precipitation sources.
