McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER: Daily measurement summaries 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 daily measurement summaries derived from high frequency data 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计划的组成部分，科研人员在南极洲麦克默多干谷的各类湖泊中开展了连续水位（湖体水位）、冰面消融、地表光合有效辐射（Photosynthetically Active Radiation，PAR）及水下光合有效辐射的观测工作。本数据集涵盖泰勒谷内弗莱克塞尔湖、霍尔湖、邦尼东湖、邦尼西湖，以及迈尔斯谷内迈尔斯湖的高频观测数据日度汇总成果。MCM有时将此类观测数据称作"blue box"数据，缘由是早期观测仪器曾被封装于蓝色箱体之中。
