These files contain data for the Upper Howard Glacier meteorology station monthly averages, as derived from the 15-min high-frequency data. The Upper Howard Glacier meteorological station was added to the McMurdo Dry Valley network in the 2001-2002 field season in Taylor Valley and removed November 8, 2004. Meteorological data is collected year-round at each of the stations in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.  After retrieving this data (usually every January), the parameters that are recorded are processed from level 0 (raw) to level  1 (processed, provided on the web). The raw data file descriptions and task lists summarize what was done to get from  level 0 to level 1 found at the following address:  http://mcmlter.lternet.edu/data/meteorology/tasks/task_lists.htm 2001-11-01 2004-01-31 ground condition The Upper Howard Meteorological Station was removed on November 8, 2004.
