Snowpack temperature profile dataset from a boreal forest watershed in eastern Canada.

Description

This dataset presents snow temperature profiles from nine different boreal forest sites in eastern Canada collected over two consecutive winters, 2016-17 and 2017-18. The dataset includes snowpack temperature profiles, snow depth, air temperature, and soil temperature. In addition, the two flux towers provided us with the additional heat and water vapour fluxes. We also present data extracted from intensive snow coring and snowpit surveys, conducted on a weekly and bi-weekly basis. Additionally, stable water isotope data collected from individual snowpack are presented here. 

To learn more about the additional information about the data, please read the "Readme.txt" file.
