Photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) measured during in-situ primary production experiments in lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, PAR is measured at one depth during primary production experiments in Dry Valley Lakes. This data set quantifies instantaneous underwater PAR at 10-meter depths in Lakes Bonney and Hoare, and a 7-me...

Description
Summary:As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, PAR is measured at one depth during primary production experiments in Dry Valley Lakes. This data set quantifies instantaneous underwater PAR at 10-meter depths in Lakes Bonney and Hoare, and a 7-meter depth in Lake Fryxell. Ambient PAR was also measured at the air-ice interface from each of these lakes.
