McMurdo Dry Valleys Glacier Mass Balance Summaries

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 and snow depths, and glacier snow densities). Included here for each stake is the total water equivalent mass change. The standard deviation or the range for each total is given.

作为南极洲麦克默多干谷长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目的组成部分，本研究已启动系统性采样计划，以监测泰勒山谷冰川的物质平衡与融水径流。本数据集收录了泰勒山谷各冰川测杆处测得的物质平衡变化数据。本次数据值为对其他数据文件中原始数据（冰川测杆高度、积雪深度及冰川积雪密度）开展分析后得到的结果。本数据集包含每个测杆对应的总水当量物质变化量，同时提供了各总变化量的标准差或取值范围。
