Overview Xanthos is an open-source hydrologic model, written in Python, designed to quantify and analyze global water availability. Xanthos simulates historical and future global water availability on a monthly time step at a spatial resolution of 0.5 geographic degrees. Xanthos was designed to be extensible and used by scientists that study global water supply and work with the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM).   Details This dataset includes Xanthos outputs forced by the ISIMIP3b bias-adjusted CMIP6 climate forcing (1850 - 2100). There are 30 scenarios consists of 10 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) General Circulation Models (GCM) and 3 Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP). Each folder is named as cmip6_{gcm}_{ensemble-member}_{ssp}. 10 CMIP6 GCMs: GFDL-ESM4, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, MRI-ESM2-0, UKESM1-0-LL, CanESM5, CNRM-CM6-1, CNRM-ESM2-1, EC-Earth3, and MIROC6 3 SSP-RCP Scenarios: SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5   The table below summarizes the details of output variables within each scenario folder. | Output Variable                         | File Short Name              | Spatial Resolution    | Unit                 | | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------- | | Runoff                                         | q                                         | 0.5x0.5 degree           | km3/month   | | Runoff                                         | Basin_runoff                     | GCAM basin               | km3/month   | | Runoff                                         | Country_runoff                 | Country                       | km3/month   | | Runoff                                         | GCAMRegion_runoff       | GCAM region             | km3/month   | | Streamflow                                | avgchflow                          | 0.5x0.5 degree          | m3/second    | | Potential Evapotranspiration  | pet                                      | 0.5x0.5 degree           | km3/month   | | Actual Evapotranspiration      | aet                                      | 0.5x0.5 degree           | km3/month   | | Accessible Water                     | accessible_water             | GCAM basin               | km3/year       | | Hydropower Generation          | actual_hydro                     | GCAM region              | EJ/year          |
