This data set describes snow physical and geochemical observations collected in the Canadian Arctic between March 2018 and June 2019. Snow samples were collected as part of the project entitled "Development of a multi-scale cryosphere monitoring network for the Kitikmeot region and Northwest territories using in-situ measurements, modeling and remote sensing" led by Dr. Alex Langlois, Université de Sherbrooke. Sampling was carried out at two primary locations in the Canadian sub-Arctic and Arctic: Wekweètì (NWT), located just south of tree line, and Greiner Lake Watershed (NU), situated well into Arctic tundra on Victoria Island (near Cambridge Bay, NU). Data are also included from Herschel Island (NWT) and Trail Valley Creek (NWT). Sampling was conducted primarily from spring into summer, with snow samples collected in Wekweètì over the month of March 2018 and Cambridge Bay over the months of April and July 2018, and April to June 2019. Trail Valley Creek was visited in winter, January 2019, whereas ... : #999: ICEAcknowledgements: We would like to thank the Environmental Chemistry Facility at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA (Joseph Orchardo, David Murray) and the Else Lab at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Araleigh Cranch, Mohamed Ahmed, Brent Else) for conducting sample analyses. We would also like to thank Vincent Sasseville and Joëlle Voglimacci-Stéphanopoli for help with sample collection on Herschel Island. ...
