| Abstract: |
| |
As part of the Long Term Ecological Research in the McMurdo
Dry Valleys of Antarctica, meteorological data was collected from various
locations throughout Taylor, Wright and Victoria Valleys. These files contain
data for the F6 Snowfence station (in Taylor Valley).

| Comments |
Meteorological data is collected year-round at each of the stations in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
After retrieving this data (usually every January), the parameters that are recorded are processed from level 0 (raw) to level
1 (processed, provided on the web). The raw data file descriptions and task lists summarize what was done to get from level
0 to level 1 for all station found at the following address:

Data contained in these files has been subjected to quality
control standards imposed by the investigator. The user of this data should be
aware that, while efforts have been taken to ensure that these data are of the
highest quality, there is no guarantee of perfection for the data contained
herein and the possibility of errors exists. If you encounter questionable data,
please contact the MCM LTER data manager so that the data can be corrected or qualified. Thus, these data

Description:
|
|
During the 2000-2001 field season, the McMurdo LTER established a snowfence near
Lake Fryxell in eastern Taylor Valley. The station was set up to sample sensors every 30 seconds,
except the sonic range which samples every 15 minutes, and send summary statistics (for example,
averages and maximums) to solid-state storage modules every 15 minutes. This has resulted in
approximately 20 values being recorded for final storage in every output interval.
