Abstract

The North Slave Lake surface temperature (LST) dataset provides lake surface temperature data for 535 lakes across the North Slave region, Northwest Territories, Canada. An algorithm is applied to the thermal bands of Landsat to retrieve LST from 1984 to 2021. The data consist of individual NetCDF files for observed days for each lake. The North Slave LST dataset provides communities, scientists, and stakeholders with spatial and temporal changing trends of temperature on lakes.
