A high-resolution snow and hydrometeorological dataset for the Dischma region in Switzerland

This repository contains data from the alpine Dischma watershed and its surroundings in eastern Switzerland and includes: (a) hourly hydrometeorological data with 100m spatial resolution, (b) remotely sensed snow depth data with 100m spatial resolution obtained at peak of winter, and (c) station measurements of variables such as snow depth and catchment runoff. This dataset is particularly suited for (a) different simulation experiments using distributed and process-based models, including physics-based snow and hydrological models, (b) testing various snow data assimilation schemes, and (c) developing models representing snow-forest interactions. The dataset is described in detail in: Magnusson, J., Bühler, Y., Quéno, L., Cluzet, B., Mazzotti, G., Webster, C., Mott, R., and Jonas, T.: High-resolution hydrometeorological and snow data for the Dischma catchment in Switzerland, Earth Syst. Sci. Data Discuss. preprint, https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2024-374, in review, 2024. This dataset was published within the INARCH project: https://inarch.usask.ca/
