Seasonal high-frequency measurements of discharge, water temperature, and specific conductivity from Lawson Creek at B3, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1994-2020, ongoing)

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. This package 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 Valleys' Lawson Creek at the B3 streamgage, located in the Bonney Basin of Taylor Valley. Measurements commenced during the 1994-95 season. The data associated with this record can be used to extrapolate the discontinued hydrological data nearby at the Santa Fe Stream. This dataset extends through the first half of the 2019-20 field season.

作为南极麦克默多干谷（McMurdo Dry Valleys）长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）计划的组成部分，研究团队已实施系统性采样方案，对该区域的冰川融水溪流开展监测工作。本数据集包含依托自动记录设备在该区域溪流上连续监测得到的水质与水量参数相关数据。具体而言，本元数据记录针对位于泰勒山谷（Taylor Valley）邦尼盆地（Bonney Basin）内B3水文测站处的麦克默多干谷劳森溪（Lawson Creek）水文数据集进行说明。监测工作始于1994-1995年度野外季。本记录关联的数据可用于外推邻近圣菲溪（Santa Fe Stream）已终止的水文观测数据。本数据集的时间跨度覆盖至2019-2020年度野外季的上半年。
