Abstract

Meteorological observations have been carried out at Tohkamachi Experimental Station (37°08’ N, 138°46’ E), Niigata Prefecture, since 1918 in order to obtain data for use in disaster prevention and studies on earth science. Since 1939-40 winter season, snow pit observations have been carried out at about 10 days intervals. In this report, we present data such as daily weather, air temperature, precipitation, snowfall depth, snow depth, and snow–water equivalent, and snow pit observations during the recent five winter periods from 2014-15 to 2018-19.
