Cold region data accessibility portal for Québec (CRDAP-QC): An integrated, multi-variable and multi-scale data repository for studying cold-region hydrological processes in Québec.

We present an integrated data portal and retrieval system for various variable related to hydrology and cryosphere of Québec, named Cold Region Data Accessibility Portal for Québec (CRDAP-QC). The raw data with which this integrated platform is built are pulled from various publicly available data sources. The platform integrates data variables related to climate (maximum, minimum and mean temperature along with total precipitation), snow accumulation (snow cover and depth) as well as Freeze-Thaw characteristics.
