Chlorophyll-a concentrations in discrete water column samples collected from lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2023, ongoing)

An important part of the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project is monitoring of spatial and temporal patterns, and processes that control primary production in perennial ice-covered lakes. This data package addresses this core area of research by quantifying chlorophyll-a concentrations within specific depths along the water column of several lakes located across the McMurdo Dry Valleys region of Antarctica.

麦克默多长期生态研究（McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目的重要组成部分，是对常年封冻湖泊中调控初级生产的时空格局与过程开展监测。本数据集通过量化南极洲麦克默多干谷区域多个湖泊沿水柱特定深度的叶绿素a浓度，聚焦该核心研究领域。
