This data publication contains hourly stream height, discharge and water temperature data collected from 1987 through 2021 on the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES), in the Snowy Range near Centennial, Wyoming. Data are provided for West Glacier Lake as well as three very small watersheds: East Glacier Lake, Cascade, and Meadow.
The GLEES, a 600 hectare research watershed at 3200-3400 meters elevation in the Snowy Range of southeastern Wyoming, was established in 1987 to examine the effects of atmospheric deposition on alpine and subalpine ecosystems. The site is not in a designated wilderness area but was selected for research because it closely replicates conditions in federally designated Class I wilderness.
