Description
Summary:As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic sampling program has been undertaken to monitor the glacial meltwater streams in that region. This package contains data pertaining to continuous monitored water quality and quantity parameters measured with automatic recording devices on streams in this region. Specifically, this metadata record describes the hydrology data set for the McMurdo Dry Valleys' Harnish Creek Tributary (Relict Channel) at the F11 streamgage, located in the Fryxell Basin of Taylor Valley. Measurements commenced during the 1996-97 season and are ongoing. This dataset extends through the first half of the 2019-20 field season.
