Study Site: Baker Creek Research Watershed, Northwest Territories
Purpose: Baker Creek drains 155 km2 of subarctic Canadian Shield terrain in Treaty 11 in Canada’s Northwest Territories. These data are unique in this remote region and provide communities with an opportunity to advance understanding of hydrlogical behaviour during a warming trend and across cycles in precipitation.
Abstract: Half-hourly hydrometeorological data are available from the three most common landscape types, including exposed Precambrian bedrock ridges, open black spruce forest and lakes. Hydrometeorological data include radiation fluxes, rainfall, temperature, humidity, winds, barometric pressure and turbulent energy fluxes. Data from terrestrial sites include ground temperature and soil moisture. Spring maximum snowpack water equivalent, depth and density data are included. Daily streamflow data are available for six nested watersheds ranging in size from 9 to 155 km2.
Supplemental Information Summary: The V.3 data release from the Baker Creek Research Watershed documents hydrometeorological and hydrological conditions from 2003 to 2025.
