Data and Analysis Code for Long-Term Trend and Correlation Analysis of Daymet Shortwave Radiation, CERES Solar Insolation, ERA5 Total Cloud Cover, MODIS Cloud Fraction, In-situ Cloud Cover Observations, and Landsat Lake Surface Water Temperature in Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada (1980–2023)

The dataset presented here comprises processed data and accompanying code for preprocessing, processing, and analyzing multiple climate-related datasets used in the study "Trend analysis of surface shortwave radiation in continental Northwest Territories, Canada (1980–2023)." Organized into several directories—technical_validation, ceres_solar_insolation, correlation, daymet_ssr, era5_tcc, modis_cldfr, summer_ssr_cloud_anomaly, and summer_ssr_lswt_mktrend—this submission includes output CSV files that detail correlations between Daymet shortwave radiation (SSR), CERES solar insolation, ERA5 total cloud cover (TCC), MODIS Cloud Fraction, in-situ cloud cover observations, and Landsat-derived lake surface water temperature (LSWT). Each directory contains the necessary scripts for data preprocessing and analysis, ensuring reproducibility and facilitating further research. Due to the substantial volume of raw data, only the processed output files and associated code are provided. Additionally, a readme.txt file is included to guide users through the repository structure and the utilization of the provided resources effectively.
