Chlorophyll-a concentrations in discrete water column samples collected from lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2025, 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.
