In recent years, record-breaking durations of droughts followed by high-precipitation events have been newly termed “water availability whip-lash” in places like the western US, where the potential for a “new-normal” has unknown consequences for water management. With the use of high performance computing, this work explicitly simulates the water-land energy budget with an integrated hydrologic model in high spatio-temporal resolutions. Hydrologic metrics are compared for recently historic dry and wet years, in addition to an end of century simulation.
