Summary
Abstract:
The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project monitors patterns of organic material transport in perennial ice-capped lakes. This data set addresses this core area of research and quantifies dissolved organic carbon concentrations at specific depths in McMurdo Dry Valley lakes.
