These data are a compilation of all weather station data acquired on McCall Glacier, Alaska, from 2003-2015, including about 35 dataloggers from 25 locations on or near the glacier. The data from each station were compiled and reduced into a single spreadsheet, where missing time-steps or cells were filled with no data values as indicated in the spreadsheet header and associated metadata. Some out of range values were eliminated, as indicated in the metadata for each station as well as in the Methods section, but all these data should be consider research-grade field data and users are cautioned to take care when using any of these data, as not all instrument failures or malfunctions were captured and mistakes in data reduction may yet persist; for example, that there are no counts in a tipping bucket does not mean it was not raining, it could well be the instrument had failed during this time. Along with the spreadsheets are all of the raw data downloads, field notes, wiring diagrams, and photos that could be found relating to each station; these additional metadata should allow a savvy user to perform their own quality assurance on the data. As of 2019, a number of these stations were still operational, but these data will be archived separately.
