Soil Long Term Manipulation Experiment - Soil Temperatures Hourly
Summary
Abstract:
A long-term soil manipulation experiment has been conducted as part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project. This table contains hourly soil temperature measurements associated with the long-term manipulation experiment on the south side of Lake Hoare, Taylor Valley, Antarctica.
