Dataset Title
Meteorological and hydrological data from the West Nose Creek hydrological observatory
Abstract
Meteorological data were collected at automatic weather stations (AWS), and hydrological data were collected at several stream gauging stations, lake water level monitoring stations, and groundwater monitoring wells. Details are described in Hayashi and Farrow (2014, Hydrogeology Journal, 22, 1825-1839).
Purpose
This dataset supports the Global Water Futures project Prairie Water and its goals to understand groundwater recharge processes in the Canadian prairies, develop practical models for recharge estimation, and evaluate the spatial distribution of recharge in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Plain Language Summary
The data set contain meteorological and hydrological variables that are useful for understanding seasonal, inter-annual, and inter-decadal patters of changes in weather, stream flow, lake water level, soil moisture conditions, and groundwater levels in the prairies.
