Spring discharge and mean catchment air temperature time series of Innere Ölgrube Rock Glacier, Inneres Bergli Rock Glacier, and Inneres Reichenkar Rock Glacier (Austrian Alps)

This dataset encompasses discharge time series and mean catchment air temperature of three rock glaciers and their catchments in the Austrian Alps. Discharge time series were recorded by Karl Krainer (University of Innsbruck) and Gerfried Winkler (University of Graz). Mean catchment air temperature time series were derived from SPARTACUS (Hiebl and Frei, 2016) by areally-weighted averaging across the rock glacier catchment, as delineated by Wagner et al. (2020). The SPARTACUS dataset is freely available from GeoSphere Austria - https://data.hub.geosphere.at.
