This dataset comprises of various hydrological variables including, but not limited to, streamflow, soil moisture, snow water equivalent (SWE) and permafrost active layer thickness for the Mackenzie River Basin in northern Canada. Variables are produced via simulations from the hydrology land-surface model MESH and includes simulations ranging from 1980 to 2100 at daily time step. The main data inputs to the model include historical and scenario based climate inputs and land use/cover. Historical streamflow observations from the Water Survey of Canada, permafrost active layer thickness observations from the Geological Survey of Canada and snow water equivalent observations from Environment and Climate Change Canada are used during model calibration and validation. Simulated results (i.e. data) reveal the extent and magnitude of climate and land use cover change impacts on the hydrology of the Mackenzie River Basin.

The purpose is to develop and parameterize a MESH model for the Mackenzie River Basin to investigate the impacts of climate and land use/cover change on its hydrology including permafrost.
