Yukon hydrometric and meteorological metadata. Notes on water quality data

Data collected as part of various MWF and past initiatives. Eddy Covariance towers collect standard meteorological variables plus full energy, water and CO2 flux information. Meteorological instruments run year-round with eddy covariance year round at the Wolf Creek forest site. Met towers collect standard meteorological parameters. Most sites typically have precipitation measured at them. They also include ground temperature and soil moisture. There are two sites that are ground temperature/soil moisture profiles. One site is a deeper groundwater well.

Hydrometric stations measure streamflow discharge during open water. Most sites have probes that measure temperature and salinity. Occasional water quality data is for major ions, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and stable isotopes of water. Sampling frequency varies. Granger Basin has been measuring CDOM (coloured dissolved organic matter) since 2015.

This data is a synopsis of hydroclimatic data collected in Yukon Territory as part of Mountain Water Futures programs. It synthesizes available meteorological, eddy covariance, hydrometric and water quality data.
