These data were collected during the 2016 melt season at Taku Glacier, in support of an experiment to examine subglacial hydrology using seismic means. The accompanying seismic data is archived with the IRIS DMC (http://ds.iris.edu/mda/ZQ?timewindow=2015-2016). These weather and passive seismic data were first described in: Vore, M. E., T. C. Bartholomaus, J. P. Winberry, J. I. Walter, and J. M. Amundson, (under review following minor revisions), Seismic tremor reveals spatial organization and temporal changes of subglacial water system, Journal of Geophysical Research – Earth Surface. Data were collected by two Vaisala WXT520 and one Onset HOBO tipping bucket rain gauge deployed off ice, approximately 100 m from the margin of Taku Glacier at two locations, station ETIP and station TWLV. These weather instruments were co-located with seismometers. One WXT520 and the rain gauge at ETIP, at sea level at the glacier terminus, and the second WXT520 at TWLV, at 600 m and approximately 13 km upglacier of the terminus.
