Advective and diffusive snowpack carbon dioxide fluxes from 2009-2016 at GLEES, Wyoming

October 1, 2026
View Data Release

Hourly carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements from four locations of snowpack profiles with vertical spacing of 20 cm over seven winters (2010-2016) at the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in southern Wyoming. All supporting data on snowpack properties (mostly modeled) are included to calculate hourly snowpack CO2 fluxes from raw data. In addition, turbulence from the adjacent AmeriFlux eddy covariance scaffold are included for statistical analyses. For comparison purposes, manual CO2 measurements collected at the site from 1998-1999 and 2004-2010 are also included. In addition to data, all scripts are provided to calculate fluxes and determine statistical effects of year, replicate and turbulence on calculated fluxes using R software.

Using a Bayesian framework to account for advection in seven years of snowpack CO2 fluxes in a mortality-impacted subalpine forest Using a Bayesian framework to account for advection in seven years of snowpack CO2 fluxes in a mortality-impacted subalpine forest

In subalpine forests where snowpacks can persist for 50% of the year or longer, wintertime subnivean soil respiration constitutes a significant, but poorly understood, portion of the carbon (C) cycle. The temporal and seasonal dynamics of this flux are difficult to measure compared to snow-free respiration. This makes it challenging to fully address key knowledge gaps in high-elevation...
