| description | A comprehensive hydroclimatic data set is presented for the 2011 water year
to improve understanding of hydrologic processes in the rain–snow transition
zone. This type of data set is extremely rare in scientific literature
because of the quality and quantity of soil depth, soil texture, soil
moisture, and soil temperature data. Standard meteorological and snow cover
data for the entire 2011 water year are included, which include several
rain-on-snow (ROS) events. Surface soil textures and soil depths from 57
points are presented as well as soil texture profiles from 14 points.
Meteorological data include continuous hourly shielded, unshielded, and
wind-corrected precipitation, wind speed and direction, air temperature,
relative humidity, dew point temperature, and incoming solar and thermal
radiation data. This data is often viewed as "forcing data", and is gap
filled and serially complete. Sub-surface data included are hourly soil
moisture data from multiple depths from seven soil profiles within the
catchment, and soil temperatures from multiple depths from two soil profiles.
Hydrologic response data include hourly stream discharge from the catchment
outlet weir, continuous snow depths from one location, intermittent snow
depths from 5 locations, and snow depth and density data from ten weekly snow
surveys. Snow and hydrologic response data are meant to provide data on the
catchment hydrologic response to the weather data. This data is mostly
presented "as measured" although snow depths from one sensor and streamflow
at the catchment outlet have been gap filled and are serially complete.
Though the weather, snow, and hydrologic response data only covers one water
year, the presentation of the additional subsurface data (soil depth,
texture, moisture, and temperature) makes it one of the most detailed and
complete hydro-climatic data sets from the climatically sensitive rain–snow
transition zone. The data presented are appropriate for a wide range of
modeling (energy balance snow modeling, soil capacitance parametric modeling,
etc.) and descriptive studies. Data is available at
