This dataset includes data for the manuscript entitled, \"Long-term climate-influenced land cover change in discontinuous permafrost peatland complexes”. This study combines extensive geomatics data with ground-based meteorological and hydrological measurements to inform a new conceptual model of landscape evolution that accounts for the observed patterns of permafrost thaw-induced landcover change, and provides a basis for predicting future changes. Included here are four component radiation data from four sites, each representing a stage of landscape evolution. Specifically, incoming shortwave, outgoing shortwave, incoming longwave, and outgoing longwave radiation were measured (W/m2) at 30-minute intervals beginning as early as 2004 and continuing through 2019. The four sites instrumented and included in this dataset are: a densely forested plateau site (2007-2019), a sparsely forested plateau site (2015-2018), an intermediate forested plateau site (2014-2019), and a wetland site with no forest cover (2004-2019). Details of instrumentation are included in the aforementioned manuscript.
