This data package contains daily measurement summaries derived from 15-minute data generated by the Friis Hills Meteorological Station (FRSM), located in Taylor Valley (Latitude: -77.7474, Longitude: 161.5162, Elevation: 1,591 meters above sea level). 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 for all station found at the following address: https://mcm.lternet.edu/meteorological-task-lists 2010-12-21 2022-12-19 ground condition As needed This is where the Friis Hills station is located, all the way up there. 161.516200000000 161.516200000000 -77.747400000000 -77.747400000000 1 591m 1 591m meter LTER Core Areas disturbance None <cntperp> <cntper>McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER Information Manager</cntper> </cntperp> <cntemail>im@mcmlter.org</cntemail> Name: Krista F.

This has resulted in approximately 20 values being recorded for final storage in every output interval.
