| Summary: | The Kolyma Water-Balance Station (KWBS) was the first in the world research hydrological watershed in continous permafrost area where water balance, hydrological regime and permafrost processes were continously and systematically studied from 1948 to 1997. KWBS is located in the Magadan region of Russia within the Upper-Kolyma highland at the Kontaktovy Creek catchment with area 21,3 km2. The database describes the data collected at KWBS in 1948-1997. It includes daily meteorological elements at three meteorological stations; daily, 5-days, 10-days and monthly sums of precipitations at 47 precipitation gauges of different types; observations of evaporation from soil at 9 evaporation plots; depth of thawing and freezing at 38 sites; soil temperatures at various depths at one site; the results of areal snow surveys; daily runoff at 10 runoff gauges. ... : Affiliations: -----Olga Makarieva:Gidrotehproekt Ltd, St. Petersburg, 199178, RussiaMelnikov Permafrost Institute, Merzlotnaya St., 36, Yakutsk 677010, RussiaSaint Petersburg State University, Institute of Earth Sciences, 7/9 Universitetskaya nab, St. Petersburg, Russia 199034-----Natalia Nesterova:Saint Petersburg State University, Institute of Earth Sciences, 7/9 Universitetskaya nab, St. Petersburg, Russia 199034State Hydrological Institute, Department of Experimental Hydrology and Mathematical Modelling of Hydrological Processes, 23 2-ya liniya VO, St Petersburg, Russia 199053-----Luidmila Lebedeva:Melnikov Permafrost Institute, Merzlotnaya St., 36, Yakutsk 677010, Russia ... |
