CTD profiles in lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a series of Taylor Valley lakes have been monitored for conductivity, temperature and depth. A Seabird 25 CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) instrument was used to record temperature profile...

Description
Summary:As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a series of Taylor Valley lakes have been monitored for conductivity, temperature and depth. A Seabird 25 CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) instrument was used to record temperature profiles in perennial ice covered lakes.
