    • Abstract

  • This data set includes meteorological and hydrological field data collected at several study sites within the watershed of West Nose Creek, located north of Calgary, Alberta from 01/01/2004 to 28/10/2010. Dataset includes soil moisture, soil temperature, streamflow, atmospheric and surface radiative properties, air temperature, wind speed/direction, precipitation and humidity.

    • Purpose

  • The data were collected for hydrological research purposes.
