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 Preliminary data is available upon request, but will be superseded by final data.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本数据集隶属于南极洲麦克默多干谷的长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目，为监测该区域冰川融水溪流而开展了系统性采样计划。本系列表格收录了本区域溪流中通过自动记录设备连续监测得到的水质与水量参数数据。 具体而言，本元数据记录针对位于F5点位的麦克默多干谷艾肯溪（Aiken Stream）的水文数据集进行说明。该监测工作始于1990-1991年度；新水位计已于2011年12月21日安装于上游河段，旧水位计则于2013年1月17日12:52被移除。当前仍需开展足量野外实地考察以完善水位-流量率定曲线，方可最终敲定完整数据集。 最新监测年度的最终径流量数据需待后续野外考察完善水位-流量率定曲线后，方可对外提供。 临时数据可应申请提供，但后续将被最终正式数据覆盖更新。若您需要申请获取临时径流量数据，请与数据管理人员联系并提交详细申请说明。
