  • As part of the Long Term Ecological Research in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, meteorological data was collected from various locations throughout Beacon, Taylor, Wright and Victoria Valleys. These files contain data for the Friis Hills meteorology station. The station captured data first on the 2006/07 season, installed by Cuffey and others, and brought to LTER format by THomas Nylen on 2010/11 season.
