Abstract

A set of hydrometeorological data including daily precipitation, hourly air temperature, humidity, wind, solar and net radiation, soil temperature, soil moisture, snow depth and snow water equivalent, streamflow, and water level in a groundwater well, and geographical information system data are presented in this dataset. This dataset was recorded at different elevation bands in Wolf Creek Research Basin, near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in Canada representing forest, shrub tundra, and alpine tundra biomes from 1993 through 2014.
