A 7-year dataset for driving and evaluating snow models at an Arctic site (Sodankylä, Finland)
Datasets derived from measurements at Sodankylä, Finland, for driving and evaluating snow models are presented. This is the first time that such complete datasets have been made available for a site in the Arctic. The continuous October 2007–September 2014 driving data comprise all of the meteorolog...
