    • Abstract

  • This dataset comprises the hourly meteorological observations for a variety of locations across western Canada from January 1, 1960 to May 20, 2006. The station locations are: Brandon, Calgary, Cold Lake, Edmonton, Edmonton, Estevan, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Red Deer, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Winnipeg and Yorkton. The purpose of this was to develop a dataset to drive the Cold Regions Hydrological Model (CRHM).
