McMurdo Dry Valleys Aiken Creek Stream Gage Measurements

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 the
glacial meltwater streams in that region. These tables contain data pertaining to continuous
monitored water quality and quantity parameters measured with automatic recording devices on
streams in this region. Specifically, this metadata record describes the hydrology data set
for the McMurdo Dry Valley's Aiken Stream at F5. Measurements commenced on the 1990-91 season Gage removed 17 Jan 2013 at 12:52, new gage installed upstream on 21 Dec 2011, awaiting enough field visits to populate rating curve to finalize data.
Final discharge data for the most recent season is not available until the stage-discharge rating is refined by further field visits. Preliminary data is available upon request, but will be superseded by final data. Please contact the data manager with your detailed request for preliminary discharge data
