Optical topographic surveys were performed to produce a layout of the area studied. This file provides a list of distances and height differences for features along the transect line at each site ("T-points"). All heights are relative to the assumed zero value at the transect RM #1. Distances are horizontal. 1994-01-01 1994-12-31 ground condition Data was collected and organized by Gordon Shupe. It was sent to Diane McKnight and Denise Steigerwald to include in the McMurdo Dry Valley stream database. The data was initially entered into the Microsoft Access relational database. Ascii, comma delimited and MS-DOS text files were exported from Access to generate the 'trnsrelp.dat' and 'trnsrelp.txt' data files used on the web page. In July 2000, dataset code and location code (strmtrnptid) fields were added. Strmtrnptid replaced the fields for transect# and point ID# within a transect. This would simplify generating links between different data and metadats fields and assist in making the data more relational / useful in Oracle and ArcInfo As needed Transect by House Creek near Gage Moss Site M-02, H2 Transect 2 Points T021 and T022 mark the start and end of the transect.
