Samples of red snow from the Austrian Alps containing Chlainomonas sp. with collection date, name of location, geographic position and altitude. Furthermore, pH and electrical conductivity of snow meltwater, as well as average cell sizes are given, if available (when only spherical cells present: diameter is stated as ‘length’).
