Datasets

This dataset forms the base of the paper 'Contrasting canopy air temperatures across complex terrain during the snow season' submitted to JGR Atmospheres. It aims to ensure full reproducibility of the figures by providing all relevant scripts (MATLAB R2024a), functions, processed data, and primary data. The primary data consists of three January-April periods in two Alpine valleys (Flüela, 2023; Monstein; 2024, 2025) of: i) Ventilated canopy air temperatures and humidity (60s intervals) measured at 2.5 m above ground by automatic weather stations (AWS) at opposing north- and south-facing slopes. ii) Concurrent AWS observations (15s intervals) at a non-forested site in the Monstein valley (2024, 2025) of incoming LW, SW at approximately 0.5 m above ground. At approximately 2.5 m above ground, RH (ventilated), air temperature (ventilated), wind speed, and wind direction were measured. iii) Passive-ventilated HOBO loggers measuring air temperature at 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 2.5 m, 4.5 m above ground along vertical profiles installed on stems at 30-minute (2023, 2024) or 15-minute (2025) intervals at multiple sites across at opposing north- and south-facing slopes. iv) In addition, informati
