In situ observations of meteorological variables and snowpack distribution at the Izas Experimental Catchment (Spanish Pyrenees): The importance of high quality data in sub-alpine ambients

This work describes the snow and meteorological dataset available for the Izas Experimental Catchment, in the Central Spanish Pyrenees, from 2011 to 2016 snow seasons. The experimental site is located in the southern side of the Pyrenees between 2000 and 2300 m above sea level with an extension of 5...

The experimental site is located in the southern side of the Pyrenees between 2000 and 2300 m above sea level with an extension of 55 ha. The site is a good example of sub-alpine ambient in which snow accumulation and melting dynamics have major importance in many mountain processes. The climatic dataset includes information on different meteorological variables acquired with an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) such as precipitation, air temperature, incoming and reflected short and long-wave radiation, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric air pressure, surface temperature (snow or soil surface) and soil temperature; all of them at 10 minute intervals. Snow depth distribution was measured during 23 field campaigns using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), and there is also available daily information of the Snow Covered Area (SCA) retrieved from time-lapse photography. The data set (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.579979) is valuable since it provides high spatial resolution information on the snow depth and snow cover distribution, which is particularly useful in combination with meteorological variables to simulate the snow energy and mass balance. This information has already been analyzed in different scientific works studying snow pack dynamics and its interaction with the local climatology or terrain topographic characteristics. However, the database generated till the date has great potential for understanding other environmental processes from a hydrometerological or ecological perspective in which snow dynamics play a determinant role.This study was funded by the research projects CGL2014-52599-P “Estudio del manto de nieve en la montaña española y su respuesta a la variabilidad y cambio climatico” (Ministry of Economy and Development, MINECO) and CLIMPY: “Characterization of the evolution of climate and provision of information for adaptation in the Pyrenees” (FEDER-POCTEFA).
