In-stream solar radiation measurements in Miramichi River basin (Canada)

This dataset and associated analysis describe the spatial (catchment and reach scale) and temporal (seasonal, daily and hourly scales) variability in the transmission coefficient, that is the ratio of in-stream solar radiation to above-canopy solar radiation which represents the proportion of incoming solar radiation reaching streams. Data were collected in the Miramichi River basin (Canada). In-stream solar radiation measurements were taken in a small headwater stream (Trib), a medium-sized stream (CatBk) and a wide river (LSWM).
