McMurdo Dry Valley Lakes Blue Box data (Continuous stage (lake level), ablation, surface PAR, underwater PAR)

Continuous stage (lake level), ice surface ablation, surface PAR and underwater PAR are measured at 20 minute increments for Lake Fryxell, Lake Hoare, East Lake Bonney and West Lake Bonney in Taylor Valley as part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER project. MCM sometimes referrs to these measurements as "blue box" data because the instrumentation used to be housed in a blue box.作为麦克默多干谷长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目的组成部分，研究团队以20分钟为采样间隔，对泰勒谷内的弗莱克瑟尔湖（Lake Fryxell）、霍尔湖（Lake Hoare）、邦尼东湖（East Lake Bonney）与邦尼西湖（West Lake Bonney）的水位（湖平面）、冰面消融量、水面光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation, PAR）及水下光合有效辐射开展连续监测。相关测量数据有时会被MCM称为"蓝箱数据"，原因是过往用于观测的仪器曾被安置在蓝色箱体中。
