Additional Forcing Variable Information
One main automatic weather station from IHD during 1965-1974 and recent from 1987-2018 and 2013-present, several CryoNet on-ice stations measuring Air t, RH, wind speed, soil/snow/firn/ice t, snow depth, shortwave radiation

Water Level
|
Stevens A-35 water-level recorder seasonal measurement (June-Sept) during 1967-1977, CS SR50A ranger seasonal measurement (June-Sept) during 2013-present
|

|
Discharge Method
|
Basin discharge measured at gauge (05DA008) maintained by Water Survey of Canada during 1967-1977; a new hydrometric station at "Lake Munro" outlet, about 1.5km upstream to gauge 05DA008, estabilished and maintained by Usask staff from 2013 to present. Discharge estimated from water level - discharge rating curve based on measured discharge by salt dilution (Fathom Scientific AutoSalt) method or Sontek Flowtrack
