These files contain data for the Upper Howard Glacier meteorological station located in Taylor Valley. The Upper Howard Glacier meteorological station was added to the MCM LTER network in the 2001-2002 field season and removed November 8, 2004. Meteorological data is collected year-round at each of MCM LTER stations. Data is manually downloaded from the meteorological stations during the austral summer. Raw 15 minute data (Level 0) is processed and provided as Level 1 data on the MCM LTER website. Field notes, sensor information, processing procedures, QA/QC, and metadata is provided in the Meteorological Post Processing Documentation and Task Lists for each field season at the following address: http://www.mcmlter.org/data/meteorology/tasks/task_lists.htm  Name: Hassan Basagic Role: field crew Name: Thomas Nylen Role: field crew Name: RenĂ©e F.

This has resulted in approximately 20 values being recorded for final storage in every output interval.    Sampling and Averaging Intervals       For Sampling frequency and Data Logger output and averaging intervals please visit:          http://www.mcmlter.org/data/meteorology/methods/Interval_Dates.pdf   Seasonal Task Summary       To view the data post-processing steps for each season please visit:          http://mcmlter.lternet.edu/data/meteorology/tasks/task_lists.htm   Metadata Access Constraints: none Metadata Use Constraints: none annually McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER http://mcmlter.org/ pointOfContact
