Study Site: Scotty Creek basin, Northwest Territories, Canada
Purpose: This dataset can be used in coordination with other hydrological and micrometeorological datasets to examine spatio-temporal effects of meteorological conditions on local hydrological responses across cold regions.
Abstract: Micrometeorological data collected from four stations located in land cover types representative of those comprising the Scotty Creek basin including bog, channel fen, stable peat plateau and peat plateau undergoing rapid permafrost degradation and loss are presented. Monitored micrometeorological variables include incoming and outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, precipitation (rain and snow) and snow depth. Deep ground temperatures (~ 1 to 10 m below the ground surface) from a channel fen as well as disturbed sites common to the basin including a seismic line and winter road are presented. Water levels were also monitored in the representative land cover types over this period.
