| Summary: | Introduction The Lammin-Suo peatland station is located near Ilichevo settlement in Vyborgskiy district, Leningrad region, Russia (60.243541 N, 29.815533 E) in a hilly area with numerous sandy hills up to 150 m high, followed by deep pans. The Lammin-Suo peatland are classified as raised bog, the most common type of bog in Eastern Fennoscandia. The research at the Lammin-Suo peatland station focuses on hydrology, meteorology, soil processes and the landscape evolution of the peatland. This dataset presents hydrological, hydrogeological, and meteorological data collected at the Lammin-Suo peatland station over the period from 1 January 1952 to 31 December 2020. Monitored parameters include air temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, cloudiness, precipitation, evaporation, snow depth, peat temperature, swamp water level, groundwater level and temperature.

Precipitation 2.1 Methods Precipitation is measured once per day in winter (15:00) and twice per day in summer (9:00, 15:00). The precipitation data are given as a total daily amount. Precipitation type (solid or liquid) has been observed since 1964. Precipitation is measured with a Tretyakov non-recording precipitation gauge. Corrections of wetting have been introduced into the measured daily precipitation values . No wind corrections were made. Studies have shown that pine growing in a swamp around the meteorological site acts as a wind protection [Novikov S., Batyev V. Hydrometeorological regime and water balance of raised bogs of North-West Russia, 2019]. The measurements were carried out on 7 rain gauges, 6 of them were installed in different parts of the swamp, P7 rain gauge - on a forest site near the swamp. For gauges P2-P6 precipitation measurements were carried out during the growing season only (from April/May to October). 2.2 Measurement site description Gauge P1.

The swamp surface temperature was measured with thermometer TM-3, maximum thermometer TM-1, minimum thermometer TM-2 and low-degree thermometer TM-9-1. The temperature at the horizons of 5-15 cm was measured with Savinov thermometers. The temperature at the horizons of 20-320 cm was measured with soil-depth thermometers TM-10. 3.2 Measurement site description Site PT1.

Freezing and thawing of the swamp 4.1 Methods Observations of the freezing and thawing of the swamp are carried out on the fixed sites. The freezing depth is measured twice (on a hummock and in a depression / on a ridge and in a hollow) near each of the four corner points of the site in places where the snow cover has not previously been disturbed. Simultaneously with the observation of freezing, observations of the snow cover on the site are carried out. Snow depth is measured using pre-installed snow gauge battens. The height of the installed battens is 120 cm. The snow gauges are placed on 5 cross-sections at a distance of 5 m from each other, the total number of snow-gauge battens is 50 pieces. Measurements are carried out once every 10 days in winter and until the peat deposits are completely thawed. The data table shows the averaged values of the measured values for the date of measurement. Observations begin in the autumn after a stable transition of average daily air temperatures to negative values. 4.2 Measurement site description Site SF1.

Evapotranspiration 5.1 Methods Evapotranspiration is measured directly using the swamp evaporimeter (model GGI-B1000). Measurements are performed decadely during the growing season. Evaporimeters were initially installed at 6 sites located in different types of microlandscape (bog microlandscape – a part of a bog that is homogeneous in terms of the nature of the vegetation cover, surface microrelief and physical properties of the upper (active) horizon of a peat deposit). Currently, one evaporimeter is in operation, located in the central part of the swamp. Evapotranspiration is measured by the weighing method. Evapotranspiration between observation periods (10 days) is determined by measuring the mass of a peat monolith with natural marsh vegetation placed in an swamp evaporimeter, taking into account the precipitation that fell during the same period and swamp water level. 5.2 Measurement site description Site ET1.

Water discharge 6.1 Methods There are no open streams directly in the swamp. Runoff from the swamp to the edge is carried out by filtration and then by streams formed at the swamp border. Water flow from the swamp is carried out through 5 streams. One of these streams (Vostochny stream) is temporary; water flows through it mainly only during the spring flood. Each of the streams is equipped with a hydrometric facility: thin-walled triangular weirs (V-notch) with wooden inlet and outlet channels. Year-round observations of the water level are carried out in the gauging chutes. The water level is recorded by the recorder continuously during the warm period of the year, observations are duplicated by manual measurement of the level every 5 days year-round. Water discharge rates are calculated according to the theoretical curve for a triangular weir with a cut angle of 90 degrees. In addition to observing the water runoff from the swamp by streams, the observation of the inflow of water into the swamp is carried out. Water inflow into the swamp with slope runoff is measured at the Runoff Plot. The Runoff Plot is located near the northwestern edge of the bog on the slope of the esker ridge. The catchment area of the plot is 400 sq m (20x20 m), the average longitudinal slope is 0.15. The runoff from the plot goes into a drainage gutter from which water enters the tank. The tank is located in a special pavilion. A level recorder is installed in the tank, recording level changes continuously during the warm period of the year. In parallel with this, manual measurements of the level are carried out once a day. In the column « DISCHARGE» column, an empty cell means no runoff, a value of "0" means that there was a minimum runoff through the tray that could not be measured and was observed visually. 6.2 Measurement site description Stream gauge Western-1 (Stream Zapadny-1); Coordinates: 60.2435278 N 29.8013333 E; Data period: 1955-2020 (active); Stream Western-2 flows from the western edge of the swamp.
