This dataset contains surface datasets (in particular canopy structure fields) and meteorological input (water years 2016-2021) required to run the snow model FSM2 over the Fluela valley. Land surface datasets are available for a 1.5x2.5km model domain at 2m spatial resolution, meteorological input at hourly resolution is provided for a point and corresponds to the location of the automatic weather station / snow measurement field 5DF in Davos. Corresponding FSM2 simulations are used and analyzed in the publication 'Canopy structure, topography and weather are equally important drivers of small-scale snow cover dynamics in sub-alpine forests' by Mazzotti et al. (submitted to HESSD). This publication should be cited whenever the dataset is used.
