In Washington State, climate change will reshape the Puget Sound marine ecosystem through bottom-up and top-down processes, directly affecting species at all trophic levels. To better understand future climate change effects on sea surface temperature and salinity in Puget Sound, we used empirical downscaling to derive high-resolution time series of future sea surface temperature and salinity. Downscaling was based on scenario outputs of two coarse-resolution General Circulation Models, GFDL-CM4 and CNRM-CM6-1-HR, developed as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). We calculated 30-year climatologies for historical and future simulations, calculated the anomalies between historical and future projections, interpolated to a high resolution, and applied the resulting downscaled anomalies to a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) time series, yielding short-term (2020-2050) and long-term (2070-2100) delta-downscaled forecasts. Downscaled output for Puget Sound showed temperature and salinity variability between scenarios and models, but overall, there was strong model agreement. Model variability and uncertainty was higher for long-term projections. Spatially, we found regional differences for both temperature and salinity, including higher temperatures in the South Basin of Puget Sound and higher salinity in the North Basin. This study is a rst step to translating CMIP6 outputs to higher resolution predictions of future conditions in Puget Sound. Interpreting downscaled projections of temperature and salinity in Puget Sound will help inform future ecosystem-based management decisions, such as supporting end-to-end ecosystem modeling simulations and assessing local-scale exposure risk to climate change.
