McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER: High frequency measurements from lake-based "Blue Box" monitoring stations in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica from 1994 to present

As part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research program, continuous stage (lake level), ice surface ablation, surface PAR, and underwater PAR are collected at various lakes throughout the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. This package contains data measured at 20 minute intervals for Lake Fryxell, Lake Hoare, East Lake Bonney, and West Lake Bonney in Taylor Valley as well as Lake Miers in Miers Valley. MCM sometimes refers 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（McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research）项目的组成部分，科研团队在南极洲麦克默多干谷的多个湖泊中采集了连续水位（湖平面）、冰面消融量、地表光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation，PAR）以及水下光合有效辐射数据。本数据集包含泰勒谷弗莱克塞尔湖（Lake Fryxell）、霍尔湖（Lake Hoare）、邦尼东湖（East Lake Bonney）、邦尼西湖（West Lake Bonney）以及迈尔斯谷迈尔斯湖（Lake Miers）的观测数据，所有数据的采样间隔均为20分钟。MCM有时将这类测量数据称为"蓝箱数据"，缘由为过往用于安置观测仪器的设备箱为蓝色。
