Seasonal high-frequency measurements of discharge, water temperature, and specific conductivity from Lawson Creek at B3, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1994-2023, 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 2022-23 field season.

作为南极洲麦克默多干谷地区长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）计划的组成部分，本项目已开展系统性采样工作，对该区域的冰川融水溪流进行监测。本数据集包含依托自动记录设备在该区域各溪流上采集的连续式水质与水量监测参数相关数据。具体而言，本元数据记录针对位于泰勒谷邦尼盆地的B3水文测站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。本数据集关联的数据可用于外推补全附近已停止监测的圣菲溪（Santa Fe Stream）的水文数据序列。本数据集的覆盖时段延伸至2022-2023年度野外季的上半阶段。
