Comment:

Refer to reference publication for detailed description of methods. Compared to version 1.0 of the dataset, this dataset used a total of 36 in situ discharge observations collected between 2008 and 2012 to construct the rating curve. The discharge estimates have an average uncertainty of 22.7%. This dataset was presented in Tedesco et al. (2014). Funding for this data set was provided by NASA Cryospheric Sciences Program grant NNG05GN89G.

***Error note*** The time is listed as UTC+0hr but is actually UTC+1hr.

In other words, times listed as 10:00 is actually 9:00. Subtract one hour from the time variable to get time in UTC+0hr.

#	Name	Short Name	Unit	Principal Investigator	Method/Device	Comment
1	DATE/TIME	Date/Time				Geocode
2	Pressure, total	Press tot	dbar	Rennermalm, Asa K	Solinst Levelogger
3	Flag	Flag		Rennermalm, Asa K		Non-zero numbers indicate when Press tot time series was augmented with data from a secondary sensor placed at same location but at different depth. An offset to secondary sensor data was added to match preceding measurements. This offset was determined during a short period of overlap between primary and secondary sensor.
4	Pressure, water	Press	dbar	Rennermalm, Asa K		Press tot - Press surface, where Press surface is from AK-002-002
5	Water level, uncorrected	Wat lev uncorr	m	Rennermalm, Asa K		Press water in units of water depth
6	Water level	WL	m	Rennermalm, Asa K	see reference(s)	Water level data is corrected for depth to stream bed and time series jump due to sensor placement changes
7	Temperature, water	Temp	°C	Rennermalm, Asa K	Solinst Levelogger
8	River discharge, 30 minute mean	Q	m³/s	Rennermalm, Asa K	see reference(s)	Mid-section method
9	River discharge, 30 minute lower range limit	Q lw range	m³/s	Rennermalm, Asa K	see reference(s)	statistical analysis
10	River discharge, 30 minute upper range limit	Q up range	m³/s	Rennermalm, Asa K	see reference(s)	statistical analysis
