The CANOPEX database contains data for 698 watersheds across Canada. The use of this database is free for all non-commercial applications. For any other use click here. The database is in two different formats (MATLAB and ASCII US MOPEX database format). The MATLAB format datasets are organized as a cell array, in which each cell contains data for a single basin. The data is indexed as fields in a MATLAB structure. For the ASCII format, data is presented in 6 columns as in the US MOPEX dataset: Col. 1: date (yyyymmdd) 2: mean areal precipitation (mm) 3: climatic potential evaporation (CANOPEX does not have any PET data thus all data are set to the missing data code -99.0000 4: daily streamflow discharge (mm) 5: daily maximum air temperature (Celsius) 6: daily minimum air temperature (Celsius) Each format is provided with two sets of meterological datasets: a- ENVCAN: Climate data is taken from Environment Canada weather stations (some missing data) b- NRCAN: Climate data is taken from Natural Resources Canada's 10km Gridded climate data product (no missing data).
