Abstract:
As part of the Long Term Ecological Research in the McMurdo
Dry Valleys of Antarctica, meteorological data was collected from
various locations throughout Taylor, Wright and Victoria
Valleys. These files contain data for the Canada Glacier meteorology
station (in Taylor Valley).
The above data set includes air temperature measurements as recorded
by temperature probes. The complete data set, daily averages, and
monthly averages are available at the following URLs:
