Processed Catchment-Averaged Meteorological Forcings from Daymet for Streamflow Monitored Catchments in British Columbia and Transboundary Basins Kovacek, Daniel

Description

This dataset provides catchment-averaged daily meteorological time series for selected watersheds in British Columbia and adjacent regions. Meteorological variables are derived from the Daymet gridded climate dataset (Version 4 R1) at a 1-km spatial resolution and include: • Precipitation (prcp) • Maximum and minimum temperature (tmax, tmin) • Shortwave radiation (srad) • Vapor pressure (vp) • Snow water equivalent (swe) • Day length (dayl) • Potential evapotranspiration (PET), computed using the Penman-Monteith method via the PyDaymet package
