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 mass balance and meltwater flow from the Taylor Valley glaciers. This dataset contains mass balance changes at each stake measured on the glaciers of Taylor Valley. The values are the result of an analysis of the raw data presented in other data files (glacier stake heights, snow depths, and glacier snow densities). Included here for each stake are the change in ice and snow water equivalent (mass) values, and the total mass change. The standard deviation or the range for each total is also given. |
