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 contain 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' Huey Stream at the F2 streamgage, located in the Fryxell Basin of Taylor Valley. Measurements commenced during the 1990-91 season. The Huey at F2 control was buried by sediment and rock sometime before 29 Dec 2010 and the site was abandoned on 19 Jan 2011. An upstream location was established 28 Dec 2012. This dataset extends through the first half of the 2019-20 field season.
