McMurdo Dry Valleys Lake Bonney Autonomous Lake Profiler and Samplers (ALPS): BBE moldanke Fluoroprobe data

Knowledge of the McMurdo Dry Valley (MDV) lakes is limited by winter access, a period which is most relevant in understanding the habitability of other icy worlds and critical to understanding the overall function of these lakes.  Owing to the lack of winter access, data that normally require human presence are incomplete.  Our goal was to conduct the first year-round investigation of the biogeophysics of these unique lakes.  An important part of the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) is evaluating carbon and nitrogen budgets in perennial ice-covered lakes. This data set addresses this core area of research and quantifies the fluorometric characteristics of phytoplankton species year-round

对麦克默多干谷（McMurdo Dry Valley, MDV）湖泊的研究认知，受限于冬季科考通行条件——而冬季恰恰是探究其他冰封天体宜居性的关键时段，同时也是理解这类湖泊整体运作机制的核心环节。受限于冬季无法开展实地作业，原本需要人工现场采集的相关数据均存在缺失。本研究的目标是首次针对这类独特湖泊开展全年尺度的生物地球物理调查。麦克默多长期生态研究（McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）的重要研究方向之一，便是评估常年冰封湖泊的碳、氮收支情况。本数据集正是针对这一核心研究领域，量化了全年观测的浮游植物物种荧光特性。
