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 at Harnish Creek F7, the discharge rate and other parameters. Specifically, this metadata record describes the hydrology data set for the McMurdo Dry Valley's Harnish Creek at F7, located in the Fryxell Basin of Taylor Valley. Measurements commenced during the 2001-02 season and are ongoing. The first several seasons had either no flow or such a low flow that could not be measured.Â
