| description | <p>The Lake O'Hara watershed in the Canadian Rockies has been the site of several hydrological
investigations. It has been instrumented to a degree uncommon for many alpine
study watersheds. Air temperature, relative humidity, wind, precipitation,
radiation, and snow depth are measured at two meteorological stations near
Lake O'Hara and in the higher elevation Opabin Plateau. Water levels at Lake
O'Hara, Opabin Lake, and several stream gauging stations are recorded using
pressure transducers and validated against manual measurements.
Stage–discharge rating curves were determined at gauging stations and used
to calculate discharge from stream stage. The database includes additional
data such as water chemistry (temperature, electrical conductivity, and
stable isotope abundance) and snow survey (snow depth and density) for select
years, as well as geospatial data (elevation and land cover). This dataset
will be useful for the future study of alpine regions, where substantial and
long-term hydrological datasets are scarce due to difficult field conditions.
