Formic acid mixing ratio (CIMS) and 3D wind data, plus SOSAA model runs -- Hyytiälä, Finland, Apr-Jun 2014

These are data of eddy covariance flux measurements of formic acid (HCOOH), performed by a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) over a boreal forest canopy in Hyytiälä, Finland, in spring/summer 2014. Results from the 1-D chemical transport model runs using SOSAA (Simulate Organic vapours, Sulphuric Acid and Aerosols) are included as well. The data accompany a submission of a manuscript to Geophysical Research Letters for consideration for publication (Schobesberger et al.).

A Meteorological and Snow observational data set from Snoqualmie Pass (921 m), Washington Cascades, U.S.

We introduce a quality controlled observational atmospheric, snow, and soil data set from Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, U.S.A., to enable testing of hydrometeorological and snow process representations within a rain-snow transitional climate where existing observations are sparse and limited. Continuous meteorological forcing (including air temperature, total precipitation, wind speed, specific humidity, air pressure, short- and longwave irradiance) are provided at hourly intervals for a 24-year historical period (water years 1989-2012) and at half-hourly intervals for a more-recent period (water years 2013-2015), separated based on the availability of observations. Additional observations include 40-years of snow board new snow accumulation, multiple measurements of total snow depth, and manual snow pits, while more recent years include sub-daily surface temperature, snowpack drainage, soil moisture and temperature profiles, and eddy co-variance derived turbulent heat flux. This data set is ideal for testing hypotheses about energy balance, soil and snow processes in the rain-snow transition zone.
