Daily cloud cover indices (CC) derived from 4x4 km GOES visible albedo product for snow pillow sites and stream gauges used and described in "The Influence of Cloudiness on Hydrologic Fluctuations in the Mountains of the Western United States". The CC data run from 1996-01-01 to 2015-12-31 and are stored as binary (.bin) files. The binary file dimensions are 7305x235 for the snow pillow sites and 7305x79 for the stream gauges.

This file repository contains the following data files associated with “The Influence of Cloudiness on Hydrologic Fluctuations in the Mountains of the Western United States”, submitted to the Water Resources Research:
1. CC_CDEC&SNOTEL.bin : Binary file containing cloud cover indices (CC) for CDEC and SNOTEL snow pillow sites (Format: double, Size: 7305 x 235)
2. CC_CDEC&SNOTEL.mat : MATLAB file containing cloud cover indices (CC) for CDEC and SNOTEL snow pillow sites
3. CC_HCDN.bin : Binary file containing cloud cover indices (CC) for HCDN stream gauge sites (Format: double, Size: 7305 x 79)
