Water-Energy-Crop Observations (2015-2021) in Saskatchewan, Canada

Description: Beginning in 2015, field observations were initiated to quantify crop growth and land-atmosphere energy and water exchanges over agricultural surfaces in the semi-arid south central Saskatchewan prairies. Early research focussed on sites in the Brightwater Creek Research Basin (BWC) near Kenaston, 80 km south of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Tetlock et al., 2019). Additional sites were instrumented in 2018 at the University of Saskatchewan’s Livestock and Forage Centre for Excellence (LFCE) near Clavet, 30 km southeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Cumulatively this data collection effort comprises 17 site years for 7 different crop types. This dataset is comprised of micrometeorological, energy balance (radiation and turbulent fluxes), precipitation, soil moisture and crop growth observations aggregated to the daily scale. Stations were located within agricultural fields to satisfy the homogeneity assumptions required for eddy covariance observations and span the interval between planting and harvest. Data gapfilling and QA/QC procedures are described in the associated submitted manuscript.
