Abstract
The McMurdo Dry Valleys in East Antarctica represents the largest ice-free area on the continent. In 1993, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (MCM LTER) site, which built a meteorological network that included a station on the shore of Lake Vida (LVi) in Victoria Valley (VV) installed in 1995 (Doran et al. 1995). This Short Note describes the conditions surrounding the lowest temperature ever recorded in the McMurdo Dry Valleys at LVi and compares them to other nearby meteorological stations.
东南极洲的麦克默多干谷是南极洲最大的无冰区。1993年,美国国家科学基金会(NSF)资助了麦克默多长期生态研究(MCM LTER)站点,该站点建立了一个气象网络,其中包括1995年在维多利亚谷(VV)维达湖(LVi)岸边安装的一个站点(Doran et al. 1995)。这篇短文描述了LVi麦克默多干谷有史以来记录的最低温度周围的条件,并将它们与附近的其他气象站进行了比较。
期刊介绍:
Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.
